We don't have enough Xlib code in mutter ...
Joking aside, it can be useful to make the cursor invisible
without hiding it, for example for replacing the actual cursor
with an actor in gnome-shell; the real cursor should still
update the focus surface in that case, and not sneak into
screenshots or -casts.

The shell uses the PID of windows to map them to apps or to find out
which window/app triggered a dialog. It currently fails to do that in
some situations on Wayland, because meta_window_get_pid() only returns a
valid PID for x11 clients.
So use the client PID instead of the X11-exclusive _NET_WM_PID property
to find out the PID of the process that started the window. We can do
that by simply renaming the already existing
meta_window_get_client_pid() API to meta_window_get_pid() and moving
the old API providing the _NET_WM_PID to meta_window_get_netwm_pid().

Inhibiting remote access means any current remote access session is
terminated, and no new ones can be created, until remote access is
uninhibited. The inhibitation is ref counted, meaning there can be more
than one inhibitor.

Since the order of destruction during MetaDisplay tear down is a bit
unordered, there are pieces that try to destruct its compositing
dependent pieces (i.e. queued MetaLater callbacks) after MetaCompositor
has been cleaned up, meaning we need to put some slightly awkward NULL
checks to avoid crashing.

Better to have the relevant object figure out whether it is a good
position to be unredirectable other than the actor, which should be
responsible for being composited.

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for
gravity, with the exception that `ForgetGravity` was renamed
`META_GRAVITY_NONE` to have less of a obscure name.
The motivation for this is to rely less on libX11 data types and macros
in generic code.

The check-alive feature is there for the user to be able to terminate
frozen applications more easily. However, sometimes applications are
implemented in a way where they fail to be reply to ping requests in a
timely manner, resulting in that, to the compositor, they are
indistinguishable from clients that have frozen indefinitely.
When using an application that has these issues, the GUI showed in
response to the failure to respond to ping requests can become annoying,
as it disrupts the visual presentation of the application.
To allow users to work-around these issues, add a setting allowing them
to configure the timeout waited until an application is considered
frozen, or disabling the check completely.

This way, we can simply pop up the Looking Glass and run:
>>> Meta.add_clutter_debug_flags(Clutter.DebugFlag.PICK, 0, 0)
And measure specific actions or events on GNOME Shell.

Since Clutter's backend relies on MetaBackend now, initialzation has
to go through meta_init(), both in mutter and in gnome-shell.
However the compositor enum and backend gtype used to enforce the
environment used for tests are private, so instead expose a test
initialization function that can be used from both mutter and
gnome-shell.

This currently uses a hack where it pushes a CoglFramebuffer backed by a
texture to the framebuffer stack, then calls clutter_actor_paint() on
the window actor causing it to render into the framebuffer. This has the
effect that all subsurfaces of a window will be drawn as part of the
window.

meta_shaped_texture_update_area() is a private function that
is exposed in the public headers. It is not used anywhere
outside Mutter, and should really be in the private header.
Move it to the private header.

Now that MetaShapedTexture is not a ClutterActor anymore, it does
not make sense to make it a MetaCullable semi-implementation. This
is, naturally, a responsibility of MetaSurfaceActor, since now
MetaShapedTexture is a ClutterContent and as such, it only cares
about what to draw.
Move the MetaCullable implementation of MetaShapedTexture to
MetaSurfaceActor.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/409
MetaWindowActor is the compositor-side representative of a
MetaWindow. Specifically it represents the geometry of the
window under Clutter scene graph. MetaWindowActors are backed
by MetaSurfaceActors, that represent the windowing system's
surfaces themselves. Naturally, these surfaces have textures
with the pixel content of the clients associated with them.
These textures are represented by MetaShapedTexture.
MetaShapedTextures are currently implemented as ClutterActor
subclasses that override the paint function to paint the
textures it holds.
Conceptually, however, Clutter has an abstraction layer for
contents of actors: ClutterContent. Which MetaShapedTexture
fits nicely, in fact.
Make MetaShapedTexture a ClutterContent implementation. This
forces a few changes in the stack:
* MetaShapedTexture now handles buffer scale.
* We now paint into ClutterPaintNode instead of the direct
framebuffer.
* Various pieces of Wayland code now use MetaSurfaceActor
instead of MetaShapedTexture.
* MetaSurfaceActorWayland doesn't override size negotiation
vfuncs anymore

A base type shouldn't know about sub types, so let MetaDisplay make
the correct choice of what type of MetaCompositor it should create. No
other semantical changes introduced.

Introduce MetaCompositorX11, dealing with being a X11 compositor, and
MetaCompositorServer, being a compositor while also being the display
server itself, e.g. a Wayland display server.

On X11, mutter needs to keep a grab on the locate-pointer key to be able
to trigger the functionality time the corresponding key combo is
pressed.
However, doing so may have side effects on other X11 clients that would
want to have a grab on the same key.
Make sure we only actually grab the key combo for "locate-pointer" only
when the feature is actually enabled, so that having the locate pointer
feature turned off (the default) would not cause side effects on other
X11 clients that might want to use the same key for their own use.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/647
Some special modifiers (typically "Control_L" used for locate-pointer in
mutter/gnome-shell or "Super_L" for overlay) must be handled separately
from the rest of the key bindings.
Add a new flag `META_KEY_BINDING_NO_AUTO_GRAB` so we can tell when
dealing with that special keybinding which should not be grabbed
automatically like the rest of the keybindings, and skip those when
changing the grabs of all keybindings.

Allow checking whether the pointer is visible without accessing the
trackers internal is_showing property. While we don't need this just yet
for reading the visibility inside meta-wayland-pointer, it's useful when
implementing the logic to remove Clutter's focus when the cursor goes
hidden later.

The way code was structured made it easy to misunderstand things as the
surface actor of a window actor could change over time. So is not the
case, however, the intention of the corresponding "update" function was
so that a surface actor could be assigned to a window actor as soon as
the X11 window was associated with its corresponding wl_surface, if the
window in question came from Xwayland.
Restructure the code and internal API a bit to make it clear that a
window actor only once gets a surface actor assigned to it, and that it
after that point never changes.

In all places (including src/wayland) we tap into meta_x11_display* focus
API, which then calls meta_display* API. This relation is backwards, so
rework input focus management so it's the other way around.
We now have high-level meta_display_(un)set_input_focus functions, which
perform the backend-independent maintenance, and calls into the X11
functions where relevant. These functions are what callers should use.

This function was added for historic reasons, before that we had GSlist's
free_full function.
Since this can be now easily implemented with a function call and an explicit
GDestroyFunc, while no known dependency uses it let's move to use
g_slist_free_func instead.

Meson 0.50.0 made passing an absolute path to install_headers()'
subdir keyword a fatal error. This means we have to track both
relative (to includedir) paths for header subdirs and absolute
paths for generated headers now :-(
