PipeWire reuses buffers, and buffer metadatas, when streaming. When
the cursor is moved to outside the stream, the cursor meta also needs
to be updated, otherwise it'll use the cursor position of whatever is
in the buffer.
Don't bail out when cursor is outside the stream, and ensure to record
a metadata-only frame. This only applies to metadata streams.

Always force-track the cursor position (so that the X11 backend can keep
it up to date), and if the cursor wasn't part of the sampled
framebuffer when reading pixels into CPU memory, draw it in an extra
pass using cairo after the fact. The cairo based cursor painting only
happens on the X11 backend, as we otherwise inhibit the hw cursor.

During animation or other things that cause multiple frames in a row
being painted, we might skip recording frames if the max framerate is
reached.
Doing so means we might end up skipping the last frame in a series,
ending with the last frame we sent was not the last one, making things
appear to get stuck sometimes.
Handle this by creating a timeout if we ever throttle, and at the time
the timeout callback is triggered, make sure we eventually send an up to
date frame.
This is handle differently depending on the source type. A monitor
source type reports 1x1 pixel damage on each view its monitor overlaps,
while a window source type simply records a frame from the surface
directly, except without recording a timestamp, so that timestamps
always refer to when damage actually happened.

Now that we don't use the record function to early out depending on
implicit state (don't record pixels if only cursor moved for example),
let it simply report an error when it fails, as we should no longer ever
return without pixels if nothing failed.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1361
Both do more or less the same but with different methods - one puts
pixels into a buffer using the CPU, the other puts pixels into a buffer
using the GPU.
However, they are behaving slightly different, which they shouldn't.
Lets first address the misleading disconnect in naming, and later we'll
make them behave more similarly.

Just like what's done for monitor screencasting. Unfortunately, there's
no mechanism to share fences with PipeWire clients yet, which forces
us to guarantee that a frame is completed after blitting.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/1129
MetaScreenCastWindowStreamSrc connects to the "damaged" signal of
MetaWindowActor. This signal is not exactly tied to the paint cycle
of the stage, and a damage may take quite a while to arrive when
a client doesn't want to draw anything. For that reason, the window
screencast can start empty, waiting for a damage to arrive.
Ensure at least one frame is recorded when enabling the window stream.

Much like monitor streaming, implement window streaming by
making the window actor draw itself with a paint context
that used the passed framebuffer.
Now that all MetaScreenCastStreamSrc subclasses implement
blit_to_framebuffer, remove the conditional check from
meta_screen_cast_stream_src_blit_to_framebuffer().
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/1086
The frame bounds as returned by `meta_window_actor_get_frame_bounds()`
would be used as cropping values when streaming a window content.
But, as its name implies, it returns the actual frame bounds, whereas we
may want to include the whole buffer, to include client side shadows for
example.
Rename the `get_frame_bounds()` API to `get_buffer_bounds()` (which was
previously partly removed with commit 11bd84789) and return the actual
buffer bounds to use as the cropping area when streaming a window.

This is inspired by 98892391d7 where the usage of
`g_signal_handler_disconnect()` without resetting the corresponding
handler id later resulted in a bug. Using `g_clear_signal_handler()`
makes sure we avoid similar bugs and is almost always the better
alternative. We use it for new code, let's clean up the old code to
also use it.
A further benefit is that it can get called even if the passed id is
0, allowing us to remove a lot of now unnessecary checks, and the fact
that `g_clear_signal_handler()` checks for the right type size, forcing us
to clean up all places where we used `guint` instead of `gulong`.
No functional changes intended here and all changes should be trivial,
thus bundled in one big commit.

We are really more interested in when a window is damaged, rather than
when it's painted, for screen casting windows. This also has the benefit
of not listening on the "paint" signal of the actor, meaning it'll open
doors for hacks currently necessary for taking a screenshot of a window
consisting of multiple surfaces.

Make the RecordWindow method also understand the 'cursor-mode' property.
For 'embedded' the cursor is drawn onto the pixel buffer using cairo,
otherwise it works similarly to how RecordMonitor deals with it.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/413
The 'cursor-mode', which currently is limited to RecordMonitor(), allows
the user to either do screen casts where the cursor is hidden, embedded
in the framebuffer, or sent as PipeWire stream metadata.
The latter allows the user to get cursor updates sent, including the
cursor sprite, without requiring a stage paint each frame. Currently
this is done by using the cursor sprite texture, and either reading
directly from, or drawing to an offscreen framebuffer which is read from
instead, in case the texture is scaled.
