This aims to make sure a view and its resources are destroyed when it
should. Using references might keep certain components (e.g frame clock)
alive for too long.
We currently don't take any long lived references to the stage view
anywhere, so this doesn't matter in practice, but this may change, and
will be used by a to be added test case.

Replace the default master clock with multiple frame clocks, each
driving its own stage view. As each stage view represents one CRTC, this
means we draw each CRTC with its own designated frame clock,
disconnected from all the others.
For example this means we when using the native backend will never need
to wait for one monitor to vsync before painting another, so e.g. having
a 144 Hz monitor next to a 60 Hz monitor, things including both Wayland
and X11 applications and shell UI will be able to render at the
corresponding monitor refresh rate.
This also changes a warning about missed frames when sending
_NETWM_FRAME_TIMINGS messages to a debug log entry, as it's expected
that we'll start missing frames e.g. when a X11 window (via Xwayland) is
exclusively within a stage view that was not painted, while another one
was, still increasing the global frame clock.
Addititonally, this also requires the X11 window actor to schedule
timeouts for _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN/_NET_WM_FRAME_TIMINGS event emitting,
if the actor wasn't on any stage views, as now we'll only get the frame
callbacks on actors when they actually were painted, while in the past,
we'd invoke that vfunc when anything was painted.

This also changes the view construction path used by the renderer view
to use the new 'add_view()' function, meaning we have a common entry
point for views into the renderer, which will be useful later on.

Add private API to ClutterBackend to set a fallback resource scale
available to Clutter. This API will be used for "guessing" the
resource-scale of ClutterActors in case the actor is not attached to a
stage or not properly positioned yet.
We set this value from inside mutters MetaRenderer while creating new
stage-views for each logical monitor. This makes it possible to set the
fallback scale to the scale of the primary monitor, which is the monitor
where most ClutterActors are going to be positioned.

We delegate the answer through CoglDriverVtable::is_hardware_accelerated
since this is properly a property of the renderer, and not something the
cogl core should know about. The answer given for the nop driver is
admittedly arbitrary, yes it's infinitely fast but no there's not any
"hardware" making it so.

"Legacy" is a misleading name, it's just how the native backend and the
X11 backend behaves differently. Instead rename it to 'add_view()' and
add the sanity check to the caller.

Prior to this commit the stage was drawn separately for each logical
monitor. This allowed to draw different parts of the stage with
different transformations, e.g. with a different viewport to implement
HiDPI support.
Go even further and have one view per CRTC. This causes the stage to
e.g. draw two mirrored monitors twice, instead of using the same
framebuffer on both. This enables us to do two things: one is to support
tiled monitors and monitor mirroring using the EGLStreams backend; the
other is that it'll enable us to tie rendering directly to the CRTC it
will render for. It is also a requirement for rendering being affected
by CRTC state, such as gamma.
It'll be possible to still inhibit re-drawing of the same content
twice, but it should be implemented differently, so that it will still
be possible to implement features requiring the CRTC split.

Simplify the call site a bit and make the native renderer know it should
queue mode reset itself when views have been rebuilt. This is done
partly due to more things needing to be dealt with after views have been
rebuilt.

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.
Instead of storing the logical monitors in an array and having users
either look up them in the array given an index or iterate using
indices, put it in a GList, and use GList iterators when iterating and
alternative API where array indices were previously used.
This allows for more liberty regarding the type of the logical monitor.

In preparation for further refactorizations, rename the MetaMonitorInfo
struct to MetaLogicalMonitor. Eventually, part of MetaLogicalMonitor
will be split into a MetaMonitor type.

Add support for drawing a stage using multiple framebuffers each making
up one part of the stage. This works by the stage backend
(ClutterStageWindow) providing a list of views which will be for
splitting up the stage in different regions.
A view layout, for now, is a set of rectangles. The stage window (i.e.
stage "backend" will use this information when drawing a frame, using
one framebuffer for each view. The scene graph is adapted to explictly
take a view when painting the stage. It will use this view, its
assigned framebuffer and layout to offset and clip the drawing
accordingly.
This effectively removes any notion of "stage framebuffer", since each
stage now may consist of multiple framebuffers. Therefore, API
involving this has been deprecated and made no-ops; namely
clutter_stage_ensure_context(). Callers are now assumed to either
always use a framebuffer reference explicitly, or push/pop the
framebuffer of a given view where the code has not yet changed to use
the explicit-buffer-using cogl API.
Currently only the nested X11 backend supports this mode fully, and the
per view framebuffers are all offscreen. Upon frame completion, it'll
blit each view's framebuffer onto the onscreen framebuffer before
swapping.
Other backends (X11 CM and native/KMS) are adapted to manage a
full-stage view. The X11 CM backend will continue to use this method,
while the native/KMS backend will be adopted to use multiple view
drawing.

Instead of passing around the KMS file descriptor via clutter to cogl,
just make our own clutter backend create the cogl renderer and set the
KSM fd.

MetaRenderer is meant to be the object responsible for rendering the
scene graph. It will contain the logic related to the cogl winsys
backend, the clutter backend, and the clutter stage window.
