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'.
It'll be installed in the meta/ directory, so put the template files in
the corresponding directory in the tarball. This will also simplify the
port to meson.
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.
Thanks to G_DEFINE_DYNAMIC_TYPE_EXTENDED(), this is a trivial addition that
will allow using G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC() or G_ADD_PRIVATE_DYNAMIC()
when declaring a plugin.

Add API to let GNOME Shell have the ability to get notified about remote
access sessions (remote desktop, remote control and screen cast), and
with a way to close them.
This is done by adding an abstraction above the remote desktop and
screen cast session objects, to avoid exposing their objects to outside
of mutter. Doing that would result in external parts holding references
to the objects, complicating their lifetimes. By using separate wrapper
objects, we avoid this issue all together.
If we wait with opening the X11 window decoration GDK connection, we
might end up with a terminated X11 server before we finish
initializing, depending on the things happening after spawning Xwayland
and before opening the MetaX11Dispaly. In gnome-shell, this involves
e.g. creating a couple of temporary X11 connections, and on disconnect,
if they happen to be the last client, the X server will terminate
itself.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759538
GTK+ won't be initialized if X11 is not available
Instead, when setting gtk-shell-shows-app-menu,
meta_prefs_set_show_fallback_app_menu should be
called as well.

- Stop using CurrentTime, introduce META_CURRENT_TIME
- Use g_get_monotonic_time () instead of relying on an
X server running and making roundtrip to it
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759538
This moves following objects from MetaScreen to MetaDisplay
- workareas_later and in_fullscreen_later signals and functions
- startup_sequences signals and functions
- tile_preview functions
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759538
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.

They are X11 specific functions, used for X11 code. They have been
improved per jadahl's suggestion to use gdk_x11_lookup_xdisplay and
gdk_x11_display_error_trap_* functions, instead of current code.

- Moved xdisplay, name and various atoms from MetaDisplay
- Moved xroot, screen_name, default_depth and default_xvisual
from MetaScreen
- Moved some X11 specific functions from screen.c and display.c
to meta-x11-display.c

While MetaStage, MetaWindowGroup and MetaDBusDisplayConfigSkeleton don't
appear explicitly in the public API, their gtypes are still exposed via
meta_get_stage_for_screen(), meta_get_*window_group_for_screen() and
MetaMonitorManager's parent type. Newer versions of gjs will warn about
undefined properties if it encounters a gtype without introspection
information, so expose those types to shut up the warnings.

Add a mechanism to MetaWaylandSurface that inhibits compositor's own
shortcuts when the surface has input focus, so that clients can receive
all key events regardless of the compositor own shortcuts.
This will help with implementing "fake" active grabs in Wayland and
XWayland clients.

Moved from g-s-d's media keys plugin, where it was called "video-out",
since it requires changing the current monitor configuration and we
want to remove the old DBus API.
This implementation is intentionally simple and not really meant for
more than debugging and validating the various configurations. A
better user experience will be introduced in gnome-shell with a custom
keybinding handler.
The default value includes <Super>P in addition to the standard keysym
for historical reasons.

This will allows us to support the XF86Display key present on some
laptops, directly in mutter. This is also known, in evdev, as
KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE.
The common usage for this key is to alternate between a few well known
multi-monitor configurations though these aren't officially
standardized. As an example, Lenovo documents it as:
"Switches the display output location between the computer display
and an external monitor."
On this patch, we're just introducing the configurations that have been
implemented in g-s-d until now, which go a bit beyond the above
description.

This is used to request key focus on the close dialog whenever
a window that is frozen would receive key focus. Also, ensure
that the dialog gets focus when first shown if the window was
meant to receive input.

Previously gnome-shell listened on the Xft Xsettings via GTK+s
GtkSettings to get the font DPI setting. The Xsetting might not
be what we want, and we should not rely on Xsettings when we don't need
to, so lets manage it ourself.

Introduce MetaSettings and add the settings managed by MetaBackend into
the new object. These settings include: experimental-features and UI

This is an interface that can be used to implement the "application

This adds a function to be used by gnome-shell to get the logical
monitor given a connector name. For now, use the same index integer
method to reference a logical monitor, but this should be revisited by
providing a better API later.

The UI scaling depends on whether the framebuffers are scaled. Enable
the caller to determine the what scale its UI should be drawn in, in
relation to the stage coordinate space by calling this function. A new
singal "ui-scaling-factor-changed" is added in order to liston for for
changes.

Implement MetaDnd for emitting DnD signals to plugins such as gnome-shell. The
xdnd handling code comes from gnome-shell, and it is hidden behind MetaDnd now.

This will be used to let plugins know when a previous size change
actually becomes effective. This is needed to handle wayland client
resizing properly since, unlike X, it's async.

GNOME Shell's window matching currently fails frequently with Flatpak
applications, as one of the primary hints used to link windows with
.desktop files - the WM_CLASS - no longer matches when flatpak renames
the exported .desktop file. Luckily, Flatpak provides us with a fail-safe
way to map from the PID to the corresponding application ID, so expose an
appropriate method that allows GNOME Shell to reliably match windows to
the corresponding Flatpak app.

When we mess with a window actor's visibility from the shell side
(yes, I know :-( ), we should at least restore the proper visibility
when we're done with it ...

An empty argument list means "unspecified arguments", and not
"no arguments" like it does in C++. If an implementer of Mutter
plugins uses gcc -Wold-style-definition, as configured by
AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_CFLAGS, they will get warnings about this.

There may be external/compositor-specific reasons to trigger the
pad OSD. Expose this call so the pad OSD can be triggered looking
up the right settings, monitor, etc...
This API will be used from the gnome-shell pad OSD implementation, in order
to show the actions that currently apply to every button/ring/strip in the
tablet.
They are already effectively interchangeable so this should reduce
pointless casts.
Just like in GDK though, we need to keep the old definition for
instrospection to be able to include the struct's fields.
This layer isn't really being used and in fact, it causes
meta_stack_get_default_focus_window() to return a fullscreen window
even if the naturally topmost window in the stack isn't a fullscreen
one.
Note that commit a3bf9b01aa changed how
we choose the default focus window from the MRU to the topmost in the
stack.

The new tiling code, instead of based around "tiling states", is instead
based around constrained edges. This allows us to have windows that have
three constrained edges, but keep one free-floating, e.g. a window tiled
to the left has the left, top, and bottom edges constrained, but the
right edge can be left resizable.
This system also is easily extended to support corner tiling. We also,
using the new "size state" system, also keep normal, tiled, and
maximized sizes independently, allowing the maximize button to bounce
between maximized and tiled states without reverting to normal in
between. Dragging from the top will always restore the normal state,
though.

We have been ignoring those buttons since 3.16 after they had been
broken in the default theme for a couple of versions. As nobody
appears to miss them, it's time to remove them for good.
The elementary guys would like this as an API, and I don't see any
reason to refuse -- this is quite nice shadow painting code :)
For some reason, gobject-introspection can't seem to cope with
MetaWindowShape. I'll look into it a bit later, but for now, mark
the function it has trouble with as (skip).
A much less hacky version of maximize / unmaximize is reimplemented
in terms of this, but it could also eventually be used for fullscreen /
unfullscreen, and tile / untile.
The existing private get_monitor_neighbor() function returns a
MetaMonitorInfo, which is private as well. Add a public wrapper
that returns a monitor index instead, as we do for other public
monitor-related methods.

This just exposes the type and the singleton getter necessary to make
it available to introspection. We'll expose more functionality as it
becomes needed.

Although not strictly a window group... This ClutterActor is
meant to stay always on top, and only show non-reactive actors
created by Mutter itself. Two possible usecases for this layer
are DnD surfaces, and touch spots.
We might also want to move cursors out of an overlay in MetaStage
into here at some point.
Make the vignette options properties so they can be animated;
modify the function-call API for meta_background_actor_set_vignette()
to correspond more closely to the 3 properties.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735637
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.

This was the original intention, but it was thought to be easier
to mark this as a combination of all directions. It turned out to
instead cause subtle bugs since code that blindly checked & DIR_WEST or
similar turned out to get it wrong when it was UNKNOWN, so just make
it an explicit flag.
This fixes the cursor appearing in the wrong place when starting a
keyboard resize.
Now that the internal mutter bindings and gnome-shell stopped using
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES, and after moving the 'adding shift reverses
the keybinding action' logic to gnome-control-center, we can remove
META_KEY_BINDING_REVERSES from mutter.
Plugin API is broken as this constant is removed from the exported
headers. ABI is broken as using this flag is now a noop.
