4b33f05eda monitor-config-manager: Add MetaMonitorsConfig creation helper
Add a meta_monitors_config_new() helper. It's exposed outside of
meta-monitor-config-manager.c already, as it'll be used externally in a
later commit.

f19cb6a610 monitor-config-manager: Handle laptop lid being closed
Handle configuring when the laptop lid is closed. This is so far
handled by creating a linear configuration while ignoring the laptop
panel. Changing the current configuration will come later.

644ee666f6 Introduce new monitor configuration system
The new monitor configuration system (MetaMonitorConfigManager) aims to
replace the current MetaMonitorConfig. The main difference between the
two is that MetaMonitorConfigManager works with higher level input
(MetaMonitor, MetaMonitorMode) instead of directly looking at the CRTC
and connector state. It still produces CRTC and connector configuration
later applied by the respective backends.

Other difference the new system aims to introduce is that the
configuration system doesn't manipulate the monitor manager state; that
responsibility is left for the monitor manager to handle (it only
manages configuration and creates CRTC/connector assignments, it
doesn't apply anything).

The new configuration system allows backends to not rely on deriving the
current configuration from the CRTC/connector state, as this may no longer be
possible (i.e. when using KMS and multiple framebuffers).

The MetaMonitorConfigManager system is so far disabled by default, as
it does not yet have all the features of the old system, but eventually
it will replace MetaMonitorConfig which will at that point be removed.
This will make it possible to remove old hacks introduced due to
limitations in the old system.
