In commit d34ae764769 I switched mutter-window to ask for Raw rectangles
from the X server. This avoided 2 non synchronous and 2 synchronous X
requests per window with damage, per frame; 2 (non-sync) to
create/destroy a temporary region to copy the damage region into, 1 to
request the server to copy the damage region into a our given region and
another to fetch that region back into the client. The problem with raw
events though is that it's possible to DOS the compositor with them.
Instead of receiving an event for every bit of damage this patch instead
asks the server to only report BoundingBox changes to the damage region.

The beginning maximization/unmaximization don't go through
start_effect_simple(), so we need to freeze the window
separately.
Change MutterWindow.freeze_count to a signed integer for
consistency with other counts, and so the logic for
checking for errors works properly.

This changes the way we handle Damage events so instead of getting an
event when the damage region of a pixmap becomes non-empty we now get
sent all damage rectangles and stream those all though to
ClutterX11TexturePixmap using clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_update_area()
For Clutter 1.2, ClutterGLXTexturePixmap was updated so that calls to
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_update_area are now cheap (glXBindTexImageEXT
calls are now deferred until just before painting) and since
ClutterGLXTexturePixmap is now capable of queueing clipped redraws that
can result in only updating a sub-region of the stage during a repaint
cycle (and using glXCopySubBufferMESA to present the sub-region redraw
to the front buffer) this should improve performance and reduced power
consumption for a range of use cases. (For example viewing a website
that has animated adverts doesn't force the whole screen to be redrawn
for each frame of the advert)
Besides being able to take advantage of glXCopySubBuffer to only update
a small region of the stage the fact that this patch makes Mutter now
request RawRectangles from the X server means we no longer do a
synchronous X request for a complete Damage Region for every window
damaged each frame. This should also improve performance.
CLUTTER_PAINT=redraws can be used to visualize what parts of the stage
are redrawn and with this patch applied I can open a terminal and as I
type I see that only the damaged areas of the terminal are being
redrawn.
In the case where a mutter window is created for an X Window that is
already mapped then we weren't calling mutter_window_mark_for_repair and
so we weren't calling XCompositeNameWindowPixmap e.g. for menu windows.
This doesn't get noticed because as soon as some damage gets delivered
for such windows the pixmap will be named anyway, but if we were to
change how damage is handled this would result in broken menus.
We now call mutter_window_mark_for_repair in mutter_window_new when the
given Window is already mapped.
Since all windows are now MetaWindows as well as compositor
windows, there's no reason to keep a compositor-specific hash table
mapping from XID to MutterWindow.
This reduces complexity and removes a call to XQueryTree that could
potentially produce a BadWindow error if not error-trapped.

mutter-window.c originally grew an #include "window-private.h" for
window->override_redirect, but that was just fixed. However since
then it also ended up relying on a few other minor private bits.
To fix that, add meta_window_is_mapped, promote meta_window_toplevel_is_mapped
to public, and use the public MetaDisplay accessor.
We store a pointer to the texture independently of the ClutterContainer
internals, and rely on the pointer remaining valid until we run dispose.
Since we also provide public API to access this pointer, we should not
rely on the reference ClutterContainer holds to ensure that texture will
not be destroyed (e.g., some nasty developer could reparent the texture).
We were freeing the description string in dispose and not setting it to NULL,
thus leaving around a dangling pointer for the duration of the disposal.
This commit moves the free into the finalize vfuction, where it belongs.
Setting the size of the texture causes the minimum and preferred width and
height values to be fixed at the set value. The normal requisition functions
of ClutterTexture will already report the size of the texture pixmap as the
natural size, but also allow scaling down as needed if less space is
available. We don't need that here, but we want to allow someone to make
a ClutterClone of the texture actor.
When a windows contents or shape changes, we schedule a redraw
with clutter_actor_queue_redraw(); we need to queue the redraw
on the shaped texture rather than on the window actor to support
cloning of just the shaped texture without the shadow: that
is, the shaped is what is really changing and it may be
visible via a clone even if the MutterWindow itself is not
visible.

When we are painting a stack of 5-10 maximized windows, the
standard bottom-to-top method of drawing every actor results
in a tremendous amount of overdraw and can easily max out
the available memory bandwidth on a low-end* graphics chipset.
It's even worse if window textures are being accessed over
the AGP bus.
When we have opaque windows, we can go ahead and compute visibility
ourselves (in classic X-server fashion) and use that information to
restrict drawing obscured actors.
* Add MutterWindowGroup - a ClutterGroup subclass with logic
for figuring out obscured regions.
* Add mutter_window_get_obscured_region() to get the region
obscured by that window.
* Add mutter_shaped_texture_set_clip_region() to hint
a clip region to the painting code; this is set based on
the computed visible region of MutterWindowGroup.
* Add tidy_texture_frame_set_needs_paint() to hint that the
paint can be skipped entirely; this is used when we detect
that the window shadow is entirely obscured.

Previously, changes to the visibility of a window could be indicated
by meta_compositor_map_window(), meta_compositor_unminimize_window(),
meta_compositor_set_window_hidden(), etc, with the exact behavior
depending on the 'live_hidden_windows' preference.
Simplify this so that visibility is controlled by:
meta_compositor_show_window()
meta_compositor_hide_window()
With an 'effect' parameter provided to indicate the appropriate
effect (CREATE/UNMINIMIZE/MINIMIZE/DESTROY/NONE.)
The map state of the window is signalled separately by:
meta_compositor_map_window()
meta_compositor_unmap_window()
And is used only to control resource handling.
Other changes:
* The desired effect on show/hide is explicitly stored in
MetaWindow, avoiding the need for the was_minimized flag.
At idle, once we calculate the window state, we pass the
effect to the compositor if it matches the new window
state, and then clear the effect to start over for future
map state changes.
* meta_compositor_switch_workspace() is called before any windows
are hidden or shown, allowing the compositor to avoid hiding
or showing an effect for windows involved in the switch.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582341
* Handling of post-effect cleanups for MutterWindow are
simplified - instead of trying to do different things based
on the individual needs of different effects, we just wait until
all effects complete and sync the window state to what it
should be.
* On unmap, once we destroy the pixmap, we tell ClutterX11Pixmap
that we've done so, so it can clean up and unbind. (The
unbinding doesn't seem to be working properly because of
ClutterGLXPixmap or video driver issues.)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587251
Clean up mutter_window_effect_in_progress() by removing the
include_destroy parameter which was used only in one place that
could be easily done otherwise. (There was another use in
mutter_window_sync_actor_position() that had no point and looked
unintended.)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587251
Add a paint function that checks all windows for repair and
shape updates; this:
- simplifies the logic for when a window needs to be repaired
- avoids duplicate work when we get multiple damage effects
- avoids the need to look ahead in the event queue
Instead of relying on repair to implicitly resize the
MutterWindow actor, set the size explicitly when the core
code updates the geometry. (This is needed because we haven't
repaired yet when we start an animation, and the animation
may depend on the size to, e.g., rescale from the center.)
Because the core geometry update happens before we start
maximize/unmaximize effects we need to work around this by
passing both the old and new geometry to the compositor.

compositor.c: Move MutterWindow code to mutter-window.c;
rename map_win() to mutter_window_map(), etc.
mutter-window-private.h: New private header file for
MutterWindow functions used internally to the compositor.
compositor-mutter.h: Move MutterWindow declarations to
mutter-window.h; move a couple of private functions to
compositor-private.h
compositor-private.h: Move MetaCompScreen declaration to here:
Conceptually it's private to compositor.c, but MutterWindow
manipulates some of the lists directly for now.
mutter-plugin.c compositor.c: Don't call mutter_window_effect_completed()
for MUTTER_PLUGIN_SWITCH_WORKSPACE, but use a new
mutter_switch_workspace_completed(), since the window is
just used to identify a screen.
