We're going to round the workspace backgrounds in the new overview for
gnome-shell 40.
So far corner-rounding was only possible for StWidgets because the
rounded clipping was done using cairo drawing. We now need rounded
clipping for ClutterActors too because backgrounds are drawn using
ClutterActors (or more specifically a ClutterContent). To implement
that, first a ClutterOffscreenEffect subclass together with a fragment
shader from GSK (see gskSetOutputColor() [1] in the GSK GL renderer
code) was investigated, and while that was generic and worked quite
well, it was extremely slow for the case of drawing wallpapers because
of all the FBOs that had to be allocated.
This is the new, more performant approach: Use the same fragment shader,
but perform the rounded clipping right in MetaBackgroundContent while
we're painting the wallpaper. This has almost no performance impact,
with the downside of not being a generic solution.
To allow for rounded clipping not only at the edges of the wallpaper,
but using any given bounding rectangle, the API exposes not only the
radius, but also a bounding rect.

Ensure we issue a motion event for the current pointer position,
as there might be situations where compositor modals get X grabs
from other clients stacked on top, or missed events in between
otherwise.
Ensure the Clutter state is still up-to-date afterwards here. This
replaces some sync_pointer() calls done in GNOME Shell code, always
done after modality changes.

Do these Wayland operations (that apply on both native and nested backends)
in the MetaCompositorServer subclass. We want to add more backend specific
behavior here in the future.

Technically this is still wrong if the source actor or dnd actor are
transformed in other ways. However geometry scale is the by far most
common case and we currently lack convenience API in Clutter to
easily compute the right values.

Mutter freezes Xwayland commits when resizing windows, and thaw them in
the window actors' after_paint() for X11.
Yet, after_paint() could be never called, as when a new window is mapped
while the overview is active in gnome-shell.
As a result, the content of the X11 window will remain invisible to the
overview.
Add a new window actor API to tell whether commits can be frozen. For
Wayland window actors, this always return FALSE, whereas for X11 window
actors, it checks whether the Clutter actor is mapped.

The monitor texture is the final background image. It doesn't need to
have any alpha channel. Cross-fades (which is the process of rendering
*into* the monitor texture) still work just fine.

Just because of implementation details, this is only relevant to Wayland,
and is done via ::effects-completed handlers there. Ideally, Clutter should
notice by itself about effects starting, finishing, and affecting picking.
Doing this in generic code seems slightly cleaner in the interim.

In case we only have a single view (or there's only one view left to
check and the actor is visible on previous views) we can take a short-
cut, saving a region allocation and some calculations.
While on it, declare float numbers in '.f' style to make them more
recognizable.

Our main use case of `is_obscured()` is frame callback emission.
Since we now support stage views running at differt speeds, we
need to know whether an actor is visible on a specific stage view
in order to schedule frame callbacks accordingly.

We want the bounding box so `ceilf` seems more appropriate. It was
only written using `roundf` before as a workaround for inaccuracies
coming out of `clutter_actor_get_transformed_size` that would have
tricked `ceilf` into landing on the wrong integer. But that's since
been fixed by 67cc60cbda so we can use `ceilf` now.

Because clones may not have identical geometry to their source actors.
So we can't use the geometry of the source actor to decide to take the
more optimized (more clipped) path.

A first step towards abandoning the CoglObject type system: convert
CoglFramebuffer, CoglOffscreen and CoglOnscreen into GObjects.
CoglFramebuffer is turned into an abstract GObject, while the two others
are currently final. The "winsys" and "platform" are still sprinkled
'void *' in the the non-abstract type instances however.

The timestamp sent with _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN should be in "high
resolution X server timestamps", meaning they should have the same scope
as the built in X11 32 bit unsigned integer timestamps, i.e. overflow at
the same time.
This was not done correctly when mutter had determined the X server used
the monotonic clock, where it'd just forward the monotonic clock,
confusing any client using _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN and friends.
Fix this by 1) splitting the timestamp conversiot into an X11 case and a
display server case, where the display server case simply clamps the
monotonic clock, as it is assumed Xwayland is always usign the monotonic
clock, and 2) if we're a X11 compositing manager, if the X server is
using the monotonic clock, apply the same semantics as the display
server case and always just clamp, or if not, calculate the offset every
10 seconds, and offset the monotonic clock timestamp with the calculated
X server timestamp offset.
This fixes an issue that would occur if mutter (or rather GNOME Shell)
would have been started before a X11 timestamp overflow, after the
overflow happened. In this case, GTK3 clients would get unclamped
timestamps, and get very confused, resulting in frames queued several
weeks into the future.

A boring one, with the exception that row and column needed to be
swapped. For the sake of consistency, the variable names were also
synchronized with the values they hold, so e.g. xy → yx, etc.

CoglMatrix already is a typedef to graphene_matrix_t. This commit
simply drops the CoglMatrix type, and align parameters. There is
no functional change here, it's simply a find-and-replace commit.

Ideally, we would use Graphene to do that, however as of now Graphene
lacks these APIs so we still need these helpers. Since we're preparing
to get rid of CoglMatrix, move them to a separate file, and rename them
with the 'cogl_graphene' prefix.
Since I'm already touching the world with this change, I'm also renaming
cogl_matrix_transform_point() to cogl_graphene_matrix_project_point(),
as per XXX comment, to make it consistent with the transform/projection
semantics in place.

Mutter itself is versioned now, so passing the version information
to the plugin is redunant now: The version is already determined by
linking to a particular API version (gnome-shell) or by installing
to a versioned plugin path (external plugins).

This reverts the commits 372d73e275 and 1d20045247 - the special
case for alpha-less textures could only happen on Wayland, but now
the opaque region is also set in those cases.
This commit saves us some allocations, simplifies the logic a bit and
makes sure culling uses the same opaque region as our painting paths.

Just like we used to before 30809665d8.
Because in some cases `clip_region` is able to shave off an extra pixel
from the edge of the redraw rectangle(s). And not shaving that off was
making the background rendering inconsistent with shaped-texture, causing
occasional off-by-one artefacts. Now both shaped-texture and
background-content agree on the clip region again that doesn't happen.

Using opaque painting paths can have a big impact on painting performance.
In order to easily validate whether we use the opaque paths, add a opaque
(green) or blended (purple) overlay over painted areas if the
`META_DEBUG_PAINT_OPAQUE_REGION` `MetaDebugPaintFlag` is set.
You can do so in `lg` via:
`Meta.add_debug_paint_flag(Meta.DebugPaintFlag.OPAQUE_REGION)`
This can be helpful for application developers, as previously it was not
trivial to check whether e.g. Wayland or X11 opaque regions where
properly set.

When in the overview culling via `self->clip_region` is unavailable.
The region is `NULL` because the paint call has not originated from a
`WindowGroup`, because the overview does not use `WindowGroup`.
So the main wallpaper was being painted in full while in the overview.
That's a waste of effort because `redraw_clip` is going to be used to
stencil/scissor out only the parts that are changing. We don't need to
paint *most* of the wallpaper, only the parts behind anything changing.
For the overview this reduces GPU power usage (intel_gpu_top) roughly
10% and reduces render times almost as much.

`meta_background_content_paint_content` was mixing two different
coordinate systems in `actor_pixel_rect`. It was initialized with
actor-local coordinates and then `if (self->clip_region)` would be
treated as stage coordinates. This worked because `self->clip_region`
was only non-NULL outside of the overview where both coordinate systems
were the same. So it always got the right answer, possibly by accident.
In order to enhance the function however we will need to know which
coordinate system we're working in, so now we make it explicit.

Commit 510cbef15a changed the logic in `handle_update()` for X11 window
actors to return early if the surface is not an X11 surface.
That works fine for plain Xorg, but on Xwayland, the surface is actually
a Wayland surface, therefore the function returns early before updating
the drop shadows of server-side decorations for X11 windows.
Change the test logic to restore drops shadows with Xwayland windows.

That was obviously always the intention, but it didn't work when the
display was scaled. My 3840x2160 monitor with a 3840x2160 texture was
being rendered with LINEAR filtering.
It seems the `force_bilinear` flag was TRUE when it should be FALSE.
Because a texture area that's an integer fraction of the texture
resolution is still a perfect match when that integer is the monitor
scale. We were also getting:
`meta_actor_painting_untransformed (fb, W, H, W, H, NULL, NULL) == FALSE`
when the display was scaled. Because the second W,H was not the real
sampling resolution. So with both of those issues fixed we now get
NEAREST filtering when the texture resolution matches the resolution it's
physically being rendered at.
Note: The background texture actually wasn't equal to the physical monitor
resolution prior to January 2020 (76240e24f7). So it wasn't possible to do
this before then. Since then however, the texture resolution is always
equal to the physical monitor resolution.

It doesn't take all children - subsurfaces in this case - into
account, thus creating glitches if subsurfaces extend outside
of the toplevel surface.
Further more it doesn't seem to serve any special purpose - it was
added in f7315c9a36, a pretty big commit, and no discussion was
started about the code in question. So it was likely just overlooked
in the review process.

gnome-shell displays workspace previews at one tenth scale. That's a
few binary orders of magnitude so even using a LINEAR filter was
resulting in visible jaggies. Now we apply mipmapping so they appear
smooth.
As an added bonus, the mipmaps used occupy roughly 1% the memory of
the original image (0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01) so they actually fit into GPU/CPU
caches now and rendering performance is improved. There's no need to
traverse the original texture which at 4K resolution occupies 33MB,
only a 331KB mipmap.
In my case this reduces the render time for the overview by ~10%.

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.
