Adding a <dbus/> element containing a boolean (yes/no) determines
whether org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig ApplyMonitorsConfig will be
callable. The state is also introspectable via the
ApplyMonitorsConfigAllowed property on the same interface.
For example
<monitors version="2">
<policy>
<dbus>no</dbus>
</policy>
</monitors>

This adds a way to define a way, at the system level, to define a policy
of how monitor configuration files are loaded.
The intended use case is to e.g. either prefer system level monitor
configurations before user levels, or only allow system level
configurations.
Examples:
Prefer system over user level configurations:
<monitors version="2">
<policy>
<stores>
<store>system</store>
<store>user</store>
</stores>
</policy>
<configuration>
...
</configuration>
</monitors>
Only allow system level configurations:
<monitors version="2">
<policy>
<stores>
<store>system</store>
</stores>
</policy>
<configuration>
...
</configuration>
</monitors>

strncmp() always return 0 if the passed length is 0. What this means is
that whatever the first string check happens to be, if the parsed XML
cdata was empty (e.g. if we got <element></element>), the first
condition would evaluate to true, which is rather unexpected.
Fix this by making sure the string length is correct first. Also move it
into a helper so we don't need to repeat the same strlen() check every
time.

Makes sure that monitor specs which may be read from EDID data do not
contain characters that are invalid in XML. Makes it possible to restore
monitor configs of monitor models with characters such as '&' in them.
To make this change not break any tests, the sample monitor configs need
to be adjusted as well. Apostrophes don't strictly have to be escaped in
XML text elements. However, we now do escape the elements in
`<monitorspec>` specifically.

When saving and restoring monitor configurations, we must take disabled
monitors into account, as otherwise one cannot store/restore a
configuration where one or more monitors are explicitly disabled. Make
this possible by adding a <disabled> element to the <configure> element
which lists the monitors that are explicitly disabled. These ones are
included when generating the configuration key, meaning they'll be
picked up correctly.

We currently only save synchronously when running the test suite, but
should still not leak the generated config buffer. We also created the
cancellable but never used it if we saved synchronously, so lets stop
doing that too.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787477
The cancellable should only be cleared if we weren't cancelled, as if
we were cancelled, the path cancelling have already cleared the
cancellable.

This commit changes the new configuration system to use monitors.xml
instead of monitors-experimental.xml. When starting up and the
monitors.xml file is loaded, if a legacy monitors.xml file is
discovered (it has the version number 1), an attempt is made to migrate
the stored configuration onto the new system.
This is done in two steps:
1) Parsing and translation of the old configuration. This works by
parsing file using the mostly the old parser, but then translating the
resulting configuration structs into the new configuration system. As
the legacy configuration system doesn't carry over some state (such as
tiling and scale used), some things are not available. For tiling, the
migration paths makes an attempt to discover tiled monitors by
comparing EDID data, and guessing what the main tile is. Determination
of the scale of a migrated configuration is postponed until the
configuration is actually applied. This works by flagging the
configuration as 'migrated'.
2) Finishing the migration when applying. When a configuration with the
'migrated' flag is retrieved from the configuration store, the final
step of the migration is taken place. This involves calculating the
preferred scale given the mode configured, while making sure this
doesn't result in any overlapping logical monitor regions etc.

Differentiate between non-interlaced and interlaced modes. This is done
by appending an "i" after the resolution part of the mode ID, and
adding a 'is-interlaced' (b) property to the mode properties.

When calculating sizes given some size and a fractional logical monitor
scale with precision loss, round the result of the floating point
calculation to the closest integer, as otherwise we might end up with
result smaller by 1 if there was a loss of precision when calculating
the scale.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765011
When the logical layout mode is used, allow configuring the scaling to
be non-integer. Supported scales are so far hard coded to include at
most 1, 1.5 and 2, and scales that doesn't result in non-fractional
logical monitor sizes are discarded.
Wayland outputs are set to have scale ceil(actual_scale) meaning well
behaving Wayland clients will provide buffers with buffer scale 2, thus
being scaled down to the fractional scale.

This commit makes it possible to configure logical monitor scale also
when running on top of an X11 server using Xrandr. An extra property
'requires-globla-scale' is added to the D-Bus API is added to instruct
a configuration application to only allow setting a global logical
monitor scale.
This is needed to let gsd-xsettings use the configured state to set a
XSettings state that respects the explicit monitor configuration.

g_hash_table_insert() doesn't replace the key. This was a problem
because the key was owned by the value inserted into the hash table, so
when a value was removed, the key was freed, meaning that the key in
the hash table was no pointing to freed memory. Fix this by using
g_hash_table_replace() instead, which work the same except that it
replaces the key with the one passed. This means that the key of a
value in the hash table is always the key owned by the value.

When told to, MetaMonitorConfigStore will save the current
configuration state by replacing the monitors-experimental.xml file
(while backing a backup).

Adds a <transform> element to <logicalmonitor>. It has two possible sub
elemenst: <rotation> which can be normal, right, left or upside_down,
and <flipped> which can either be true or false.

The logical monitor config array ownership was transferred to the
config object when it was created, but was not unset when the config
verification failed, causing the clean up path for invalid configs to
try to clean up the same list again.

This commit adds support for rendering onto enlarged per logical
monitor framebuffers, using the scaled clutter stage views, for HiDPI
enabled logical monitors.
This works by scaling the mode of the monitors in a logical monitors by
the scale, no longer relying on scaling the window actors and window
geometry for making windows have the correct size on HiDPI monitors.
It is disabled by default, as in automatically created configurations
will still use the old mode. This is partly because Xwayland clients
will not yet work good enough to make it feasible.
To enable, add the 'scale-monitor-framebuffer' keyword to the
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features gsettings array.
It is still possible to specify the mode via the new D-Bus API, which
has been adapted.
The adaptations to the D-Bus API means the caller need to be aware of
how to position logical monitors on the stage grid. This depends on the
'layout-mode' property that is used (see the DisplayConfig D-Bus
documentation).

Add support to configure the logical monitor scale. With this, it
becomes possible to override the automatically calculated scaling
number per logical monitor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777732
The default (calculated) scale is derived from the output, but
ultimately set via the monitor scale. This will enable config files to
override the scale. Yet to be done is handling when a scale is not
supported by a backend (i.e. the X11 backend).

MetaMonitorConfigStore provides an XML storage mechanism for
MetaMonitorConfigManager. It stores configuration files defined in the
same level as the MetaMonitorsConfig format, i.e. refers to high level
"monitors" and "monitor modes" instead of connectors and CRTCs.
Only reading custom files are implemented and so far unused.
