Currently, json-glib is used for two things:
- For loading scripts, nothing seems to use that in real life other
than some tests
- For debugging paint nodes
For now, the PR drops the first use case and only require json-glib
if it is a debug build

As with the backend commit, this means all objects can reach the
MetaContext by walking up the chain, thus can e.g. get the backend from
the context, instead of the global singleton.
This also is a squashed commit containing:
compositor: Get backend via the context
The MetaCompositor instance is owned by MetaDisplay, which is owned by
MetaContext. Get the backend via that chain of ownership.
dnd: Don't get backend from singleton
window-actor: Don't get backend from singleton
dnd: Don't get Wayland compositor via singleton
background: Don't get the monitor manager from the singleton
plugins: Don't get backend from singleton
This applies to MetaPlugin, it's manager class, and the default plugin.
feedback-actor: Pass a compositor pointer when constructing
This allows getting to the display.
later: Keep a pointer to the manager object
This allows using the non-singleton API in idle callbacks.

The completed signal is only emitted if the timeline actually completed
but when an actor is destroyed or removed from its parent the timeline
is stopped and not completed.
The workspace switch effect removes window actors from the window group
which destroys the timeline so on_$EFFECT_effect_stopped is never
called and the pointer to the timeline is dangling.

The workspace switch animation moves the WindowActors out of the
WindowGroup so if we shut down while the animation is playing the
WindowActors will have queued a destroy but will be disposed only after
the compositor is destroyed, leaving the WindowActor with a dangling
pointer.
Fix the issue by killing the workspace switch animation on shutdown.

Since the completion callback (on_switch_workspace_effect_complete) sets
priv->tml_switch_workspace1 to NULL, the unref was trying to unref NULL,
and the reffed ClutterTimeline was not getting unreffed.
This could be triggered by rapidly switching workspaces, switching again
before the animation of the initial switch was done.
Found while working on #2038.

The order of which function argument expressions are executed is
undefined, so don't rely on this for setting the background colors, as
it results in different colors on different architectures.
For example, it has been observed that the order of execution is
reversed comparing x86_64 and aarch64, making these two architectures
having different background color.
Fix this confusion, and also reproduceability in future reference tests,
by making the order of execution predictable.

MetaBackgroundActor is still necessary for culling purposes,
but now the actual rendering of the background is delegated
to MetaBackgroundContent, as well as the sizing information.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1302
We currently assume that the actor_animate() helper function returns
a timeline. However Clutter may skip implicit animations and simple
set properties directly, for example when the actor is hidden.
The returned timeline will be NULL in that case, and we abort when
using it as instance parameter to g_signal_connect().
Fix this by only setting up a completed handler when we are actually
animating, and complete the effect directly otherwise.

We get implicit, thus auto-removed, transitions, then manage them
manually by stopping them and emitting "completed" signals. This doesn't
work since they are removed and freed when stopped. To be able to emit
the "completed" signal, hold a reference while stopping, so that we
still can emit the signal as before.

When starting standalone mutter and running using the native backend, we
always fall back on using the us pc105 keyboard layout. This can be very
frustrating if one is used to using some other keyboard layout, such as
dvorak, causing keyboard fumbling everytime when doing something with
standalone mutter.
Avoid this involuntary fumbling by having the default plugin query
localed what layout the user has actually configured the machine to
operate using. It doesn't add any keymap selection user interface, so
it'll always use the first one it encounters.

I saw Meson fade from the sky
On the wind I heard a sigh
As snowflakes cover fallen Makefiles
I will say this last goodbye
Meson is now coming
So ends Autotools days
Future is now coming
And we must away
Over Python and without Bashisms
Through lands where never Meson touched
By silver streams that run down to the Sea
Under parsers, beneath old legacy
Over snow one winter’s morn
I turned at last to paths that lead home
And though where the road then takes me
I cannot tell
We came all this way
But now comes the day
To bid you farewell
Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don’t regret
Nor will I forget
All Makefiles that took that road with me
I bid you all a very fond farewell.
This commit adds meson build support to mutter. It takes a step away
from the three separate code bases with three different autotools setups
into a single meson build system. There are still places that can be
unified better, for example by removing various "config.h" style files
from cogl and clutter, centralizing debug C flags and other configurable
macros, and similar artifacts that are there only because they were once
separate code bases.
There are some differences between the autotools setup and the new
meson. Here are a few:
The meson setup doesn't generate wrapper scripts for various cogl and
clutter test cases. What these tests did was more or less generate a
tiny script that called an executable with a test name as the argument.
To run particular tests, just run the test executable with the name of
the test as the argument.
The meson setup doesn't install test files anymore. The autotools test
suite was designed towards working with installed tests, but it didn't
really still, and now with meson, it doesn't install anything at all,
but instead makes sure that everything runs with the uninstalled input
files, binaries and libraries when running the test suite. Installable
tests may come later.
Tests from cogl, clutter and mutter are run on 'meson test'. In
autotools, only cogl and clutter tests were run on 'make check'.
Install include files in
$prefix/include/mutter-$apiversion/[clutter,cogl,...,meta]/, and
datafiles in /usr/share/mutter-$apiversion/.... We still would conflict
e.g. given that our gettext name is "mutter", and how keybindings are
installed, but it's a step in the right direction.
This is the filename convention you get when you define a shared module
in meson, and since there is no particular reason to not include the
"lib" prefix, lets make it easier to port it over. While at it,
de-duplicate the retrieval of the plugin name.
The order and way include macros were structured was chaotic, with no
real common thread between files. Try to tidy up the mess with some
common scheme, to make things look less messy.
Split X11 specific parts into MetaX11Display. This also required
changing MetaScreen to stop listening to any signals by itself, but
instead relying on MetaDisplay forwarding them. This was to ensure the
ordering. MetaDisplay listens to both the internal and external
monitors-changed signal so that it can pass the external one via the
redundant MetaDisplay(prev MetaScreen)::monitors-changed.

The old requirement that multiple MetaBackgroundActor objects be
layered on top of each to produce blended backgrounds resulted in
extremely inefficient drawing since the entire framebuffer had
to be read and written multiple times.
* Replace the MetaBackground ClutterContent with a plain GObject
that serves to hold the background parameters and prerender
textures to be used to draw the background. It handles
colors, gradients, and blended images, but does not handle
vignetting
* Add vignetting to MetaBackgroundActor directly.
* Add MetaBackgroundImage and MetaBackgroundImageCache to allow
multiple MetaBackground objects to share the same images
By removing the usage of ClutterContent, the following optimizations
were easy to add:
Blending is turned off when the actor is fully opaque
Nearest-neighbour filtering is used when drawing 1:1
The GLSL vignette code is slightly improved to use a vertex shader
snippet for computing the texture coordinate => position in actor
mapping.

Avoid populating *_VERSION constants through cflags in pkg-config-file
which could be overridden by the project using it. Properly prefix the
defines with META_ to make gi-scanner happy.
