This cannot be made to work reliably. Some factoids:
- Internal devices may be connected via USB.
- The ACPI spec provides the _PLD (Physical location of device) hook to
determine how is an USB device connected, with an anecdotal success
rate. Internal devices may be seen as external and vice-versa, there is
also an "unknown" value that is widely used.
- There may be non-USB keyboards, the old "AT Translated Set 2 Keyboard"
interface does not change on hotplugging.
- Libinput has an internal series of quirks to classify keyboards as
internal of external, also with an "unknown" value.
These heuristics are kinda hopeless to get right by our own hand. Drop
this external keyboard detection in the hope that there will be something
more deterministic to rely on in the future (e.g. the libinput quirks
made available to us directly or indirectly).

Move Wayland support (i.e. the MetaWaylandCompositor object) made to be
part of the backend. This is due to the fact that it is needed by the
backend initialization, e.g. the Wayland EGLDisplay server support.
The backend is changed to be more involved in Wayland and clutter
initialization, so that the parts needed for clutter initialization
happens before clutter itself initialization happens, and the rest
happens after. This simplifies the setup a bit, as clutter and Wayland
init now happens as part of the backend initialization.

On X11 we don't update the texture in certain circumstances, such as if
the surface is a fullscreen unredirect, or doesn't have a Pixmap. On
Wayland we only want to avoid updating the texture if there is no
texture, but as this is handled implicitly by MetashapedTexture, we
don't need to try to emulate the X11-y conditions in the generic layer
and instead just have the implementations handle update processing
themself.
This doesn't have any functional changes, but removes a vfunc from
MetaSurfaceActorClass.

We failed to use the buffer age when monitors were rotated, as when they
are, we first composite to an offscreen framebuffer, then later again to
the onscreen. The buffer age checking happened on the offscreen, and an
offscreen being single buffered, they can't possible support buffer
ages.
Instead, move the buffer age check to check the actual onscreen
framebuffer. The offscreen to onscreen painting is still always full
frame, but that will be fixed in a later commit.

Will be used for logging to identify what view a log entry concerns. For
the native and nested backend this is the name of the output the CRTC is
assigned to drive; for X11 it's just "X11 screen", and for the legacy
"X11 screen" emulation mode of the nested backend it's called "legacy
nested".

There's no reason to notify the surface that its geometry changed when
the visibility of the actor changes. This is only needed to update the
outputs of the surface, so do that directly instead.

We started listening to notify::mapped with commit
5eb5f72434 in order to emit
wl_surface.leave events consistently when a surface gets hidden. This
caused a problem with the ClutterClones used in the overview, since
those temporarily map and unmap the windows for painting, spamming
wl_surface.leave and enter events to all surfaces.
We can easily fix that by also treating mapped clones as mapped, which
means the surface should also be on a wl_output when the overview is
shown.

All existing users of clutter_actor_has_mapped_clones() actually want to
know whether the actor is being cloned by a visible clone, it doesn't
matter to them if that clone is attached to an actor somewhere else in
the tree or to the actor itself.
So make clutter_actor_has_mapped_clones() a bit more convenient to use
and also check the clones of the parent-actors in that function.

We started listening to "notify::position" on surface actors with commit
08e4cb54. This commit was done to fix a regression from commit cf1edff9,
which forgot to handle some cases like the actual WindowActor and not
the SurfaceActor (which is a child of the WindowActor) moving (that was
fixed by listening to MetaWindows "position-changed" signal). Also that
commit introduced meta_wayland_surface_update_outputs_recursively(),
which updates the outputs of all (sub-)surfaces in case any position
changed and made sure subsurfaces also get their outputs updated in case
the parent actor moved.
Connecting to the "notify::position" signal, which the above commit also
did is now superflous though because position changes will queue a
relayout and the actors allocation will change during the next
allocation cycle, notifying the "allocation" property which we also
listen to.
So save some resources and stop listening to that signal.

We don't have enough Xlib code in mutter ...
Joking aside, it can be useful to make the cursor invisible
without hiding it, for example for replacing the actual cursor
with an actor in gnome-shell; the real cursor should still
update the focus surface in that case, and not sneak into
screenshots or -casts.

We're iterating inside the PipeWire loop when detecting PipeWire errors,
and shouldn't destroy the PipeWire objects mid-iteration. Avoid this by
first disabling the stream src (effectively stopping the recording),
then notifying about it being closed in an idle callback. The
notification eventually makes the rest of the screen cast code clean up
the objects, including the src and the associated PipeWire objects, but
will do so outside the PipeWire loop iteration.

In the native backend, the MetaRenderer manages the view by creating one
per CRTC, but until now the MetaStageX11 managed the view for the X11
backend. This caused some issues as it meant meta_renderer_get_views()
not returning anything, and that the view of the X11 screen not being a
MetaRendererView, while in the other backends, all views are.
Fix this by moving the view management responsibility to
MetaRendererX11Cm, and have MetaStageX11 only operate on it via
meta_renderer_x11_cm_*() API. The MetaRendererX11Cm takes care of making
sure the view is always added to the list in the renderer, and turning
X11 screen sizes into "layouts" etc.

"Legacy" is a misleading name, it's just how the native backend and the
X11 backend behaves differently. Instead rename it to 'add_view()' and
add the sanity check to the caller.

A DMA buffer might not be able to scanout, and in that case the import
with GBM_BO_USE_SCANOUT will fail. Handle that by failing to scanout,
effectively falling back to compositing.

Since PIDs are inherently insecure because they are reused after a
certain amount of processes was started, it's possible the client PID
was spoofed by the client.
So make sure users of the meta_window_get_pid() API are aware of those
issues and add a note to the documentation that the PID can not be
totally trusted.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1180
Since the PID of a window can't change as long as the window exists, we
can safely cache it after we got a valid PID once, so do that by adding
a new `window->client_pid` private property.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1180
The shell uses the PID of windows to map them to apps or to find out
which window/app triggered a dialog. It currently fails to do that in
some situations on Wayland, because meta_window_get_pid() only returns a
valid PID for x11 clients.
So use the client PID instead of the X11-exclusive _NET_WM_PID property
to find out the PID of the process that started the window. We can do
that by simply renaming the already existing
meta_window_get_client_pid() API to meta_window_get_pid() and moving
the old API providing the _NET_WM_PID to meta_window_get_netwm_pid().

They all checked that the remote session service talked with the
correct peer, and some of them did check that there is an associated
screencast session.
Add a new check for the session being started (as it's state is
decoupled with screencast session availability) and move all checks
to a function that is called from all input-oriented DBus methods.

It was removed in 3.34 as part of 6ed5d2e2. And we thought that was the
only thread that might exist and use X11. But the top gnome-shell crasher
in 3.36 seems to suggest otherwise.
We don't know what or where the offending thread is, but since:
1. We used XInitThreads for years already prior to 3.34; and
2. Extensions or any change to mutter/gnome-shell could conceivably use
threads to make X calls, directly or indirectly,
it's probably a good idea to reintroduce XInitThreads. The failing assertion
in libx11 is also accompanied by a strong hint:
```
fprintf(stderr, "[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client " \
"and XInitThreads has not been called\n");

When the wallpaper image is larger than the monitor resolution we already
use mipmapping to scale it down smoothly in hardware. We use
`GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER` = `GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR` for the highest quality
scaling that GL can do. However that option is designed for 3D use cases
where the mipmap level is changing over time or space.
Since our wallpaper is not changing distance from us we can improve the
rendering quality even more than `GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR`. To do this we
now set `GL_TEXTURE_MAX_LEVEL` (if available) to limit the mipmap level or
blurriness level to the lowest resolution (highest level) that is still
equal to or higher than the monitor itself. This way we get the benefits
of mipmapping (downscaling in hardware) *and* retain the maximum possible
sharpness for the monitor resolution -- something that
`GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR` alone doesn't do.
Example:
Monitor is 1920x1080
Wallpaper photo is 4000x3000
Mipmaps stored on the GPU are 4000x3000, 2000x1500, 1000x750, ...
Before: You would see an average of the 2000x1500 and 1000x750 images.
After: You will now only see the 2000x1500 image, linearly sampled.

It's very useful to have common functions for easily creating a monitor

check_monitor_test_clients_state() is a function that's only meant to be
used in the monitor-unit-tests, and since we're going to move the

function is going to be in the way of that. So move the checking of the
test client state outside of check_monitor_test_clients_state().
