This allows us one less level of indentation of all the tests. It is not
entirely true, the X11 backend test case script can run without it, but
it isn't valuable enough to run without the native backend being enabled
to complicate building.

Except the X11 backend test, it still needs an X server. Eventually we
can replace it with the equivalent that uses Xwayland, but that needs a
"scaled down" mutter that runs as the host compositor for Xwayland, that
doesn't expose anything on the session bus.

Enable the docs in the main build, then inherit the artifacts. It should
result in less CPU resources being used.
GitLab doesn't support multiple artifacts per job, so we still have to
download the whole build, as the build job can't hand out just the
references, and it seems to be planned as a premium-only feature sadly:

We need to use a different $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR path to be able to start most
tests in parallel, and we can use a temporary directory for that which python
cleans up when done.
Also, given that most of settings are stored in HOME use temporary one
for that too, to prevent mutter to fail because it may load some local
configuration (e.g. monitors.xml) that don't meet the expectations or
that may change the test behavior in an unexpected way.
As per this, CI needs to be adapted for new args handling

In the future, the module will automate uploading the release
tarball. We already use the CI pipeline to generate the tarball,
so it's easy to hook up the module and provide some testing
before the module goes into production.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3775>
We currently assume that the `CI_COMMIT_TAG` variable matches the
version component of the generated dist tarball.
That is usually correct, but sometimes errors happen and a wrong
tag is pushed, and the real release uses something like "46.0-real".
Account for that by building the artifact path from `meson introspect`
and exporting it as environment variable.

Sometimes the test runners are saturated with other work. Bump the test
timeouts by a multiplier of 5 with the hope that they now will be much
more likely to have time to finish in time.

Some features depend on libdisplay-info, and making it a feature
option should increase its visibility and adoption.
This makes it required when building with "-Dauto_features=enabled",
unless explicitly disabled with "-Dlibdisplay_info=disabled".
If "-Dauto_features=enabled" is not set, everything remains the
same.
In the future, the libdisplay_info option can be made "enabled" by
default so that it would always be required unless explicitly
disabled.

Bleeding edge glib was required at some point last cycle, but
right now the last stable release is good enough.
Relying on the packaged version also avoids the need for an
updated gjs, as glib now provides a newer API version of
GIRepository.

Currently, Meta/Cogl/Clutter makes use of cairo_rectangle_int_t despite
the existance of MetaRectangle.
In order to make MetaRectangle usable in Cogl/Clutter as well, Mtk would
provide such base types that are shared across the various private
libraries

F39 has been branched, so we can use it as base of our CI image
and reduce the number of custom built components.
This will also help if gjs adds support for import maps and
gnome-shell bumps its gjs dependency to use it, as F39
already includes the new mozjs version that gjs now uses.

Meson stopped using polkit for automatic priviledge elevation, and
will no longer attempt any priviledge elevation when not running
interactively.
Running the entire install command as root used to be problematic
in the past, as it could result in ownership changes of files in
the build directory that would result in build failures later,
but the aforementioned change leaves us with little choice.
Presumably those issues have been fixed, let's hope that's true.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3173>
Because `meson dist` will fail in that case:
```
Dist currently only works with Git or Mercurial repos
```
Being away from the git repo would only happen on non-marge CI runs of
'deploy' and only if the MR contains meson changes. So the bug went
unnoticed when introduced in !3083 because it didn't contain meson changes.
To fix it we just revert one line of !3083.

It turns out that gnome-shell's toolbox image is still broken
after commit 86b77f65e7.
Toolbox' entry point ensures that the calling user exists inside
the container, and makes their home available inside the container.
There are two ways the `useradd` command in our image may interfere
with that:
- by default, useradd uses the smallest available UID in the
normal user range (usually 1000); this is highly likely to
clash with the host user UID
- if the host's /home is a symlink (for instance to /var/home
on Silverblue), then toolbox recreates that layout inside the
container; it cannot do that if /home is already a non-empty
directory
Luckily we can address both issues without affecting the ability
to build and run tests as user: We can simply create the `meta-user`
with a UID and home directory that are unlikely to clash.
