As for the types of monitor, X11 and KMS are currently assumed to always be
physical, while the virtual ones are assumed to be virtual. In theory
X11 ones could be virtual, but lets not bother. KMS ones can be virtual
in the case of virtual KMS, but we typically use that for testing as if
it was physical, so lets leave it as such.
Will later be used to feed correct information to colord.

This adds the 4 new connector types that mutter didn't know about from
drm_mode.h in the kernel.
Noticed because mutter kept crashing when plugging in a USB-C adapter to
use an external monitor.

Some monitors support hardware features to enable the privacy screen
mode that allows users to toggle (via software or hardware button) a
state in which the display may be harder to see to people not sitting
in front of it.
Expose then this capability to the monitor level so that we can get its
state and set it.

Since we cache already all the KMS parameters we care about let's check at
each device update if anything has really changed and only in such case
emit a resources-changed signal.
In this way we can also filter out the DRM parameters that when changed
don't require a full monitors rebuild.
Examples are the gamma settings or the privacy screen parameters, that
emits an udev "hotplug" event when changed, but we want to register those
only when we handle the changed property.

Virtual monitors are monitors that isn't backed by any monitor like
hardware. It would typically be backed by e.g. a remote desktop service,
or a network display.
It is currently only supported by the native backend, and whether the
X11 backend will ever see virtual monitors is an open question. This
rest of this commit message describes how it works under the native
backend.
Each virutal monitor consists of virtualized mode setting components:
* A virtual CRTC mode (MetaCrtcModeVirtual)
* A virtual CRTC (MetaCrtcVirtual)
* A virtual connector (MetaOutputVirtual)
In difference to the corresponding mode setting objects that represents
KMS objects, the virtual ones isn't directly tied to a MetaGpu, other
than the CoglFramebuffer being part of the GPU context of the primary
GPU, which is the case for all monitors no matter what GPU they are
connected to. Part of the reason for this is that a MetaGpu in practice
represents a mode setting device, and its CRTCs and outputs, are all
backed by real mode setting objects, while a virtual monitor is only
backed by a framebuffer that is tied to the primary GPU. Maybe this will
be reevaluated in the future, but since a virtual monitor is not tied to
any GPU currently, so is the case for the virtual mode setting objects.
The native rendering backend, including the cursor renderer, is adapted
to handle the situation where a CRTC does not have a GPU associated with
it; this in practice means that it e.g. will not try to upload HW cursor
buffers when the cursor is only on a virtual monitor. The same applies
to the native renderer, which is made to avoid creating
MetaOnscreenNative for views that are backed by virtual CRTCs, as well
as to avoid trying to mode set on such views.

When rebuilding the monitors (e.g. during hotplug), make sure to detach
the disposed monitors from any outputs before creating the new monitors.
While this isn't currently needed, as outputs are too being recreated,
with the to be introduced virtual outputs that are created for virtual
monitors, this is not always the case anymore, as these virtual outputs
are not regenerated each time anything changes.
Prepare for this by making sure that cleaning up disposed monitors
detach themself properly from the outputs, so new ones can attach
themself to outputs without running into conflicts.

When supported, this property allows the window system to apply a 3x3 color
correction matrix in order to transform colors from the window system's native
color space to the measured color space of a display device.
Query for this property and set the 'supports-color-transform' property in the
GetResource reply. Add support for the SetOutputCTM DBus method and plumb that
through to the server's CTM property.

Instead of the home baked "inheritance" system, using a gpointer and a
GDestroyNotify function to keep the what effectively is sub type
details, make MetaOutput an abstract derivable type, and make the
implementations inherit it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
The output info is established during construction and will stay the
same for the lifetime of the MetaOutput object. Moving it out of the
main struct enables us to eventually clean up the MetaOutput type
inheritence to use proper GObject types.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
MetaCrtcInfo and MetaOutputInfo did not represent information about
MetaCrtc and MetaOutput, but the result of the monitor configuration
assignment algorithm, thus rename it to MetaCrtcAssignment and
MetaOutputAssignment.
The purpose for this is to be able to introduce a struct that actually
carries information about the CRTCs and outputs, as retrieved from the
backend implementations.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
That is is_presentation, is_primary, is_underscanning and backlight.
The first three are set during CRTC assignment as they are only valid
when active. The other is set separately, as it is untied to
monitor configuration.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1287
It was used during configuration to ensure that we always dealt with
every output and CRTC. Do this without polluting the MetaOutput and
MetaCrtc structs with intermediate variables not used by the
corresponding types themself.

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.

The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
Some x86 clamshell design devices use portrait tablet LCD panels while
they should use a landscape panel, resoluting in a 90 degree rotated
picture.
Newer kernels detect this and rotate the fb console in software to
compensate. These kernels also export their knowledge of the LCD panel
orientation vs the casing in a "panel orientation" drm_connector property.
This commit adds support to mutter for reading the "panel orientation"
and transparently (from a mutter consumer's pov) fixing this by applying
a (hidden) rotation transform to compensate for the panel orientation.

In order to eventually support multilpe GPUs with their own connectors,
split out related meta data management (i.e. outputs, CRTCs and CRTC
modes) into a new MetaGpu GObject.
The Xrandr backend always assumes there is always only a single "GPU" as
the GPU is abstracted by the X server; only the native backend (aside
from the test backend) will eventually see more than one GPU.
The Xrandr backend still moves some management to MetaGpuXrandr, in
order to behave more similarly to the KMS counterparts.

Instead of passing it around or fetching the singleton, keep a pointer
to the monitor manager that owns the output. This will eventually be
replaced with a per GPU/graphics card object.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785381
Turn MetaOutput into a GObject and move it to a separate file. This
changes the storage format, resulting in changing the API for accessing
MetaOutputs from using an array, to using a GList.
