This GSource is not being properly unref nor the variable holding it
cleared. This on one hand leaks the GSource memory, on the other hand
may trigger warnings in keyboard_repeat() as the source may be
(reentrantly) cleared, yet we don't exit early as
seat_impl->repeat_source is never NULL.

The input thread is in deep water doing the meta_is_*() check itself,
as that pokes the MetaMonitorManager managed by the main thread. Use
the getter from the MetaViewportInfo instead.

Add a flag to MetaSeatNative and MetaSeatImpl that tells it not to
attempt to create a libinput context. This is intended to be used when
mutter is to run headless, as in without any input devices other than
virtual ones.

With commit 7d78768809 we switched to
storing pointer coordinates in MetaInputDeviceNative instead of
ClutterInputDevice, and while we had set the coordinates of the
ClutterInputDevice in ClutterStage when queueing an event, we now set
the MetaInputDeviceNative coordinates in new_absolute_motion_event().
Here a small mistake snuck in: new_absolute_motion_event() only
translates the coordinates of the event, but we call
meta_input_device_native_set_coords() using the x and y variables
(which remain untranslated), so now the input device coordinates are no
longer translated.
Fix that by translating the coordinates of the x and y variables in case
we're we handling a tablet/stylus event instead of only translating the
event coordinates.

This removes the responsibility of tracking these from the backend to
the base object. The backends are instead responsible for calling the
function to update the values.
For the native backend, it's important that this happens on the correct
thread, so each time either of these states may change, post a idle
callback on the main thread that sets the, at the time of queuing said
callback, up to date state. This means that things on the main thread
will always be able to get a "new enough but not too new" state when
listening on the 'notify::' signals and getting the property value
after.

Libinput will queue a few initial events when a seat is assigned to the
udev backend; a result of it probing udev adding detected devices. For
us to see these events, we need to dispatch libinput before going idle,
as nothing will show up on the libinput file descriptor until something
else (e.g. keyboard event or mouse movement) wakes us up.
Do this by adding a prepare() function to the libinput GSource, that
checks whether there are any events in the queue already, and return
TRUE if so is the case, causing us to dispatch before going fully idle.

When a remote desktop user emits a virtual smooth scrolling event, a
smooth scroll event, that is not emulated, is emitted and on occasion
a discrete scroll event, that is emulated, is emitted.
As base for the discrete scrolling event, the smooth scrolling steps
are accumulated.
When the accumulated smooth scrolling steps surpass the
DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP, the discrete scrolling event is emitted.
Currently, mutter uses for DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP the value 10, which is
a terrible value to work with, especially for high resolution mouse
wheels.
When a triple resolution mouse wheel is used, each scrolling step will
have the value 3 1/3.
Three of such events won't however surpass the DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP.
To fix this situation, add DBL_EPSILON to the calculation step, when
checking for the discrete scroll event to ensure that 3 smooth scroll
events, with each having the value 3 1/3, emit a discrete scrolling
event.

The original implementation of ::touch-mode tested for keyboard
presence to know whether the OSK and other touch-only features were
enabled.
However that didn't pan out, every webcam, card reader and kitchen
sink like to live a second life as EV_KEY devices. This made the
detection of actual external keyboards a much harder task than it
sounds, and was thus removed in commit f8e2234ce5.
Try a different approach here, and test for pointer devices, it
doesn't matter if internal or external devices, the rationales:
- It is significantly easier to get this right, there's virtually
no devices with abs/rel axes that don't try to be a real input
device of some sorts.
- It's not as good as testing for keyboard presence, but it's the
next best thing. These usually come in pairs, except in weird
setups.
- It is better than not having anything for a number of situations:
- Non-convertible laptops with a touchscreen will get touch-mode
disabled due to touchpad presence (plus keyboard). There's
been complains about OSK triggering with those.
- Same for desktop machines with USB touchscreens, the mouse
(and presumably keyboard) attached would make touch-mode
get in the middle.
- Convertible laptops with a broken tablet-mode switch get a
chance to work on tablet modes that do disable input devices
(e.g. detachable keyboards, or via firmware)
- Kiosk machines, tablets, and other devices that have a
touchscreen but will not regularly have a mouse/keyboard
will get the touch-mode enabled.
All in all, this seems to cover more situations the way we expect it,
there's only one situation that the OSK would show where it might
not be desirable, and one that might not show when it better should:
- Tablets and kiosk machines that get one keyboard plugged, but not a
mouse, will still show the OSK, despite being able to type right
away.
- Convertible laptops with broken/unreliable tablet-mode switch (e.g.
ignored by the kernel) rely entirely on the device/firmware
characteristics to work. If after folding into tablet mode the
touchpad remains active, touch-mode will not turn on.
Fixing the tablet-mode switch on these devices should be preferred,
as that'll also make libinput magically disable the touchpad.
The latter can be worked around with the a11y toggle. The former is
merely inconvenient, and nothing prevents the user from plugging a mouse
in addition.

We can't post tasks to the input thread when cleaning up the
MetaSeatImpl, as that will make the GTask complain about adding
references to a to be purged object. Avoid this by adding an explicit
meta_seat_impl_destroy() function that handles the destruction of the
MetaSeatImpl properly.
This also does more of the cleanup in the input thread, as that is where
it was managed. Will likely not make a difference as before this
happened after tearing down the thread, but lets tear down things in the
thread they were managed for good measure.
This fixes the last log spew I see right now when terminating mutter.

We didn't tear down the libinput objects in the right thread when
exiting, but did so after the input thread exited.
We also tried to destroy the libinput devices after the libinput context
was destroyed, which isn't allowed.
Fix these two issues by tearing down the libinput objects in a input
thread task that when done exits the input thread. This effectively
"flushes" the input thread tasks while destroying the libinput objects
just before the thread exits.
While it might fine to tear down libinput objects in an arbitrary (main
in this case) thread while making sure nothing pokes at it in parallel
(e.g. the input thread is gone), libinput is by definition single
threaded, and could theoretically make assumptions about this, and we
shouldn't cause any possible surprises here, so make sure to destroy it
all in the right thread.
This fixes an abort() on exit caused by an assert about invalid object
destruction in libinput.

The "seat" usually refers to the ClutterSeat (MetaSeatNative) object,

To clear a pointer constraint, the Wayland backend passes a NULL
constraint to the native input backend.
The new async API however tries to reference/un-reference the given
object to use it while running in a separate task, which leads to a
warning from GLib trying to g_object_ref()/g_object_unref() a non
GObject pointer.
To avoid that issue, simply set the data only if the given constraints
pointer is not NULL.

Currently, the MetaInputDeviceNative owns the libinput_device, with the
small catch that it is eventually finished in the main thread (as the
CLUTTER_DEVICE_REMOVED event keeps the last reference to it).
Make it sure that the libinput_device is destroyed in the input thread,
before giving away the last extra input device references.

Instead of using native backend platform data specifically, store
this info in ClutterMotionEvent. This includes time in usec since
it's just used for motion events, in the future it could make sense
to make these general to all events again, but it could make sense
to make ClutterEvent structs private before.
In order to express that a motion event has relative motion info,
the CLUTTER_EVENT_FLAG_RELATIVE_MOTION event flag has been added
for it.

We have this as platform-dependent data in the native backend, and
a bunch of fallback code done in place in the evcode users. Stop
making this platform-dependent data, and move it to the relevant
ClutterEvents.
The fallback code for the X11 backend case is about the same, but
now it is done directly by the X11 backend.

Figuring out the MetaSeatImpl this much indirectly is fairly awkward when
the keymap is only updated from the MetaSeatImpl, pass instead the seat
impl's xkb_state, as we have it handy in all the places this is called.
This will not break on NULL seats during initialization, should the numlock
state be restored from previous sessions.

This (now) doesn't change anything in regards to the API that the UI
thread should access from the MetaSeatImpl. The MetaInputDeviceNative,
MetaInputSettings and MetaKeymap objects are now considered owned by
the input thread, as well as all of libinput objects.
The MetaEventSource now dispatches events in a GMainContext that is
the thread default to this thread, and all UI-thread-accessible API
(seat and virtual input device API) will be handled in a serialized
manner by that same input thread.
The MetaSeatImpl itself is still considered to be owned by the caller
thread, and all the signals that this object emits will be emitted in
the GMainContext that is default at the time of calling
meta_seat_impl_new().
The MetaInputSettings configuration changes will likewise be handled
in the input thread, close to libinput devices.

Instead of going through the event queue, stage handling code, and
back to the input device via a vmethod call, do this directly in the
MetaSeatImpl. This is not too different from X11, where everything
happens inside the backend.

This API is the one accessed from different bits of the UI thread,

Simplify the handling of numlock state, so it can be entirely handled
within the input thread. Since the saving/restoring is triggered inside

Push it a little bit down to the MetaSeatNative. As both the UI thread
and the input thread are interested in dealing with the xkb_keymap and
it is not meant to be used in different threads, keep 2 separate copies
around.
The keyboard map will always be set from the UI thread, so the xkb_keymap
owned by the MetaSeatNative (owned by the UI thread) can be considered
canonical.

Don't let the vfuncs (meant to be called from the UI thread) deal with
xkb state itself. Instead store the current state in struct fields, which
is then fetched in vfuncs.
This makes the keymap able to be used from the UI thread, while being
maintained by the input thread. Same caveats apply than
clutter_seat_query_state(), you are asking for the most up-to-date state,
but it still may be changing under your feet.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1403>
Wrap all keyboard state updates, and all pointer/stylus/touch cursor
position with a write lock, and ::query_state() (The only entrypoint
to this state from other threads) with a read lock.
The principle is that query_state may be called from different threads
(UI so far, but maybe KMS too in the future), while the input thread
may (or may not) be updating it. This state is fetched "atomically"
(eg. x/y will be consistently old or new, if the input thread were
updating it at the same time).
There's other places deep in backends/native that read this state,
they all will run in the input thread, so they count as "other readers"
to the other thread. Those changes are already mutually exclusive with
updates, so they don't explicitly need the RW lock.

Depending on the backend, we want to integrate this object at different
levels. It will sit close to the MetaBackendX11/MetaSeatX11 in X11, but
it will be put deep down with MetaSeatImpl in the native backend, in a
separate thread.
Since we can't depend on a single object type, nor are able to track
ClutterSeat signals neatly, make this API something to be called
explicitly by backends.
