Robert Bragg 40e820f551 Add support for stacking X and Wayland windows together
This breaks down the assumptions in stack-tracker.c and stack.c that
Mutter is only stacking X windows.

The stack tracker now tracks windows using a MetaStackWindow structure
which is a union with a type member so that X windows can be
distinguished from Wayland windows.

Some notable changes are:

Queued stack tracker operations that affect Wayland windows will not be
associated with an X serial number.

If an operation only affects a Wayland window and there are no queued
stack tracker operations ("unvalidated predictions") then the operation
is applied immediately since there is no server involved with changing
the stacking for Wayland windows.

The stack tracker can no longer respond to X events by turning them into
stack operations and discarding the predicted operations made prior to
that event because operations based on X events don't know anything
about the stacking of Wayland windows.

Instead of discarding old predictions the new approach is to trust the
predictions but whenever we receive an event from the server that
affects stacking we cross-reference with the predicted stack and check
for consistency. So e.g. if we have an event that says ADD window A then
we apply the predictions (up to the serial for that event) and verify
the predicted state includes a window A. Similarly if an event says
RAISE_ABOVE(B, C) we can apply the predictions (up to the serial for
that event) and verify that window B is above C.

If we ever receive spurious stacking events (with a serial older than we
would expect) or find an inconsistency (some things aren't possible to
predict from the compositor) then we hit a re-synchronization code-path
that will query the X server for the full stacking order and then use
that stack to walk through our combined stack and force the X windows to
match the just queried stack but avoiding disrupting the relative
stacking of Wayland windows. This will be relatively expensive but
shouldn't be hit for compositor initiated restacking operations where
our predictions should be accurate.

The code in core/stack.c that deals with synchronizing the window stack
with the X server had to be updated quite heavily. In general the patch
avoids changing the fundamental approach being used but most of the code
did need some amount of re-factoring to consider what re-stacking
operations actually involve X or not and when we need to restack X
windows we sometimes need to search for a suitable X sibling to restack
relative too since the closest siblings may be Wayland windows.

* \file stack-tracker.h Track stacking order for compositor

* window (including override-redirect windows.) This is used to order
* the windows when the compositor draws them.
*
* By contrast, MetaStack is responsible for keeping track of how we
* think that windows *should* be ordered. For windows we manage
* (non-override-redirect windows), the two stacking orders will be
* the same.
