This adds support for running mutter as a hybrid X and Wayland
compositor. It runs a headless XWayland server for X applications
that presents wayland surfaces back to mutter which mutter can then
composite.
This aims to not break Mutter's existing support for the traditional X
compositing model which means a single build of Mutter can be
distributed supporting the traditional model and the new Wayland based
compositing model.
TODO: although building with --disable-wayland has at least been tested,
I still haven't actually verified that running as a traditional
compositor isn't broken currently.
Note: At this point no input is supported

This adds a --nested option to request that mutter no longer run as a
classic X compositor with an output window mapped on the X Composite
Overlay Window and also not assume it is running directly under X.
The intention is that in this mode Mutter will itself launch a headless
X server and display output will be handled by Clutter and Cogl. This
will enable running Mutter nested as an application within an X session.
This patch introduces an internal meta_is_wayland_compositor() function
as a means to condition the way mutter operates when running as a
traditional X compositor vs running as a wayland compositor where the
compositor and display server are combined into a single process.
Later we also expect to add a --kms option as another way of enabling
this wayland compositor mode that will assume full control of the
display hardware instead of running as a nested application.
We now track whether a window has an input shape specified via the X
Shape extension. Intersecting that with the bounding shape (as required
by the X Shape extension) we use the resulting rectangles to paint
window silhouettes when picking. As well as improving the correctness of
picking this should also be much more efficient because typically when
only picking solid rectangles then the need to actually render and issue
a read_pixels request can be optimized away and instead the picking is
done on the cpu.
Originally attached dialogs did not have a titlebar, which the code
still assumes though it hasn't been true for a while; nowadays, the
actual look of attached dialogs is controlled by the theme.
As GTK+ recently gained the ability to set custom titlebars, we need
to support attached dialogs with either full borders (WM decorations)
or border-only (GTK+ titlebar).
Just remove the left-over assumption to make it work as expected.

We need to update window->monitor on override_redirect windows as well, other
wise they may end up with an invalid struct which triggers and assert when
meta_window_is_monitor_sized is called.

Avoid a round trip to the xserver we already have the current position
anyway. Querying from the server on every move can cause the compositor to
stall during movement.
Add new api (meta_screen_get_current_monitor_for_pos and
meta_screen_get_current_monitor_info_for_pos) that allow querying the monitor
without a roundtrip by reusing the passed in cursor position.
gnome-shell needs to know whether the stage window is focused so
it can synchronize between stage window focus and Clutter key actor
focus. Track all X windows, even those without MetaWindows, when
tracking the focus window, and add a compositor-level API to determine
when the stage is focused.

When we set the input focus, we first set the predicted window,
and then try to process focus events. But as XI_FocusOut on the
existing window comes before XI_FocusIn on the new window, we'll
see the focus out on the old window and think the focus is going
to nothing, which makes mutter think the prediction failed.
This didn't really matter as nothing paid attention to the focus
window changing, but with gnome-shell's focus rework, we'll try
and drop keyboard focus in events like these.
Fix this by making sure that we ignore focus window changes of our
own cause when updating the focus window field, by ignoring all
focus events that have a serial the same as the focus request or
lower. Note that if mutter doens't make any requests after the
focus request, this could be racy, as another client could steal
the focus, but mutter would ignore it as the serial was the same.
Bump the serial by making a dummy ChangeProperty request to a
mutter-controlled window in this case.

We have no need for normally reported events during grabs. In fact, it
might be harmful. A plugin might grab the keyboard through
meta_begin_modal_for_plugin() and then expect events to be reported to
the grab window they provide. If meanwhile this XIGrabDevice is
issued, events might start being reported normally to one other of our
windows breaking the plugin event processing.
In particular, on an empty workspace, we set input focus to our
no_focus_window. Then, if gnome-shell calls
meta_begin_modal_for_plugin() and meta_display_freeze_keyboard(), in
that order, input events will start being reported to no_focus_window.
There are two issues with this. One is that no_focus_window isn't
selecting for XI input events and thus the server discards them
completely. But even if that is fixed, events being reported to any
window other than the one gnome-shell expects - the clutter stage
window - means that events will stop reaching it.

This will make it possible to implement input source switching in
gnome-shell using the popular modifiers-only keybinding that's
implemented on the X server through an XKB option.

We'll use this in gnome-shell to freeze the keyboard right before
switching input source and unfreeze it after that's finished so that
we don't lose any key events to the wrong input source.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697001
If a binding is updated with a clear set of strokes (effectively
disabling it) we aren't signaling that the binding changed and thus
the previous strokes will continue to be grabbed.
This fixes that and tries to do a better effort at checking if the
binding changed or not.

gnome-shell has traditionally just called XSetInputFocus when wanting to
set the input focus to the stage window, but this might cause strange,
hard-to-reproduce bugs because of an interference with mutter's focus
prediction. Add API to allow gnome-shell to focus the stage window that
also updates mutter's internal focus prediction state.

If an app pops up an OR window and sets input focus to it, like
Steam does, we'll think the focus window is null, causing us to
think the app is not focused.
OR windows should not be special if they get input focus, where
the input focus would be set to NULL. Instead, the window should
be marked as focused.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647706
Mutter previously defined display->focus_window as the window that the
server says is focused, but kept display->expected_focus_window to
indicate the window that we have requested to be focused. But it turns
out that "expected_focus_window" was almost always what we wanted.
Make MetaDisplay do a better job of tracking focus-related requests
and events, and change display->focus_window to be our best guess of
the "currently" focused window (ie, the window that will be focused at
the time when the server processes the next request we send it).

Make it a static function for now, but this will be a private
function soon, replacing meta_window_lost_focus. This should
contain no functional changes, only cosmetic indentation changes,
so best viewed with ignorews=1 or -w or -b, you know the drill.

Clients using _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE to start a drag operation may encounter
a race condition if the user presses and releases a mouse button very
fast, getting "stuck" in a grab state. While this is easily fixed with
the user pressing the button or hitting Escape as the EWMH spec suggests,
its's still a bit of annoyance for users.
After starting a grab operation, check that the button is actually pressed
by the client, and if not, cancel the grab operation. This prevents the
stuck grab in a race-free way, although it requires an extra round-trip
to the server.
With client-side decorations becoming more popular, the use of
_NET_WM_MOVERESIZE is on the rise, thus this bug is seen more frequently
than before.

As we only had one string-array preference so far, we didn't bother
with adding a generic way to handle string-array preferences, and
just handled the preference in question explicitly. However we are
going to parse another string-array setting, so generalize the
existing code to make it reusable for that case.

This essentially just moves install_corners() from the compositor, through
the core, into the UI layer where it arguably should have been anyway,
leaving behind stub functions which call through the various layers. This
removes the compositor's special knowledge of how rounded corners work,
replacing it with "ask the UI for an alpha mask".
The computation of border widths and heights changes a bit, because the
width and height used in install_corners() are the
meta_window_get_outer_rect() (which includes the visible borders but not
the invisible ones), whereas the more readily-available rectangle is the
MetaFrame.rect (which includes both). Computing the same width and height
as meta_window_get_outer_rect() involves compensating for the invisible
borders, but the UI layer is the authority on those anyway, so it seems
clearer to have it do the calculations from scratch.

XUngrabKey() doesn't work for XI2 grabs and XI2 doesn't provide API
with similar functionality. As such, we have to refactor the code a
bit to be able to call XIUngrabKeycode() for each key binding, then
reload keybindings and finally grab the new ones.

In 97a4cc8c, we accidentally lost the check that kept us from
sending multiple configures to a window before it responds to
_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST. So _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST stopped working
properly. Add a check back with the same effect.

During a resize, if we don't have a configure pending, then a counter
change shouldn't trigger anything other than the normal drawing:
it's just a spontaneous frame from the application. So don't try
to update the position or remove our timeout ID.

Trying to track the fullscreen status outside of Mutter, as GNOME Shell
was doing previously, was very prone to errors, because Mutter has a
very tricky definition of when a window is set to be fullscreen and
*actually* acting like a fullscreen window.
* Add meta_screen_get_monitor_in_fullscreen() and an
::in-fullscreen-changed signal. This allows an application to
track when there are fullscreen windows on a monitor.
* Do the computation of fullscreen status in a "later" function that
runs after showing, so we properly take focus into account.
* To get ordering of different phases right, add more values
to MetaLaterType.
* Add auto-minimization, similar to what was added to GNOME Shell
earlier in this cycle - if a window is set to be fullscreen, but
not actually fullscreen, minimize.

Since the tile mode is now always reset on maximize(), this code
no longer does anything (not to mention that side-by-side tiled
windows haven't snapped back for a while now).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682779
We used to restore side-by-side tiling when unmaximizing, so we
kept the tile-mode during maximization. Since commit 10d53fc7d
there's no longer a good reason to do so, and it can result in
tile previews being shown erroneously on window drag operations
without motion (double-click on titlebar), so reset the tile
mode in maximize().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682779
The tile preview is expected to be shown underneath the focus window.
However the code that restacks the preview broke when override-redirect
windows were moved to a separate window group.
To fix, special-case tile previews to put them in the NORMAL layer.

Previously, we were handling failure to respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST
in the code path for throttling motion events. But this meant that
if a window didn't respond to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST and there were no
motion events - for a keyboard resize, or after the end of the grab
operation - it would end up in a stuck state.
Use a separate per-window timeout to reliably catch the failure to respond
to _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.

During resizing we froze window updates when configuring the
window, and unfroze the window updates when processing the
next resize. This wasn't absolutely reliable, because we might
not have a next resize. Instead tie window freezing more
directly to the current sync request value - a window is
frozen until it catches up with the last value we sent it
in _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
Testing with unresponsive clients showed that there was a bug
where window->disable_sync once set, would not actually disable
sync, but it *would* disable noticing that the client was
unresponsive for the next resize. Fix that by checking for
->disable_sync before sending _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST.
