A sticky barrier means that a pointer in motion intersecting a barrier
doesn't move once having hit it. The intention with this is to allow an
input capture clients to continue a motion once a barrier is hit.

This was used gala to implement hot corners, and the way the barrier API
works, there isn't really any practical reasons to not make it
derivable, since the backend is a separate type and object.

This one does proper error reporting. Via Javascript, barriers are
constructed directly via GObject construction, which currently can't
handle error reporting, but when calling from C we can. However, if we
initialize using GInitable, and use that in our constructor method, once
gjs gains support for construction using GInitable, including the error
reporting, we'll automatically get proper error reporting to Javascript.

Make meson link libmutter using -fvisibility=hidden, and introduce META_EXPORT
and META_EXPORT_TEST defines to mark a symbols as visible.
The TEST version is meant to be used to flag symbols that are only used
internally by mutter tests, but that should not be considered public API.
This allows us to be more precise in selecting what is exported and what is
not, without the need of a version-script file that would be more complicated
to maintain.

XInput 2.3 adds support for "barrier events", which let us know when
a pointer barrier has been hit, and when the pointer has stopped
hitting the barrier, and lets us "release" the barrier, temporarily
letting the pointer pass through the barrier. These features can be
combined to allow for certain pointer gestures, such as "pushing"
against the bottom of the screen, or stopping the pointer on monitor
edges while dragging slowly for increased edge precision.
This commit should allow graceful fallback if servers with
XInput 2.3 aren't supported.

Currently, we have a few function wrappers in the shell for pointer
barriers. If we want to implement interactive features on barriers,
we need some sort of signal to be notified of the interactivity.
In that case, we need to make a more sophisticated object-based wrapper
for a pointer barrier. Add one, and stick it in mutter.
