The presentation timing logic (via `master_clock_get_swap_wait_time`) now works unconditionally. By "works" we mean that a result of zero from `master_clock_get_swap_wait_time` actually means zero now. Previously zero could mean either a successful result of zero milliseconds or that the backend couldn't get an answer. And a non-zero result is the same as before. This works even if the screen is "idle" and even if the backend doesn't provide presentation timestamps. So now our two fallback throttling mechanisms of relying on `CLUTTER_FEATURE_SWAP_THROTTLE` and decimating to `clutter_get_default_frame_rate` can be deleted.

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork af Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding
style
with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib
fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general,
look at the file you're editing for inspiration.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
