Yotam Bar-On aca8be64c1 meta/selection-source-memory: Use memfd instead of GBytes
MetaSelectionSourceMemory currently uses GBytes for its underlying data.
This can cause memory overhead when large items, such as HD images, are
stored in the clipboard. This commit changes the underlying data
structure to a MetaAnonymousFile object, which writes to memfd instead
of heap. When reading, MetaSelectionSourceMemory will create a
Gio.UnixInputStream from the file descriptor generated by
MetaAnonymousFile. We subclass the UnixInputStream as
MetaUnixInputStream, to override the stream's close_fn function so
that it invokes meta_anonymous_file_close_fd when the stream terminates.
