With this commit, it's possible to run mutter without being DRM master.
It's not yet possible to add virtual monitors, but one can for example
already add virtual input devices.
This currently doesn't try to hook up to any logind session, thus will
not have a real seat assigned. Currently it's hard coded to "seat0".

Currently our only entry point for DRM devices is MetaKms*, but in order
to run without being DRM master, we cannot use /dev/dri/card*, nor can
we be either of the existing MetaKmsImplDevice implementation (legacy
KMS, and atomic KMS), as they both depend on being DRM master.
Thus to handle running without being DRM master (i.e. headless), add a
"dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice implementation, that doesn't do any mode
setting at all, and that switches to operate on the render node, instead
of the card node itself.
This means we still use the same GBM code paths as the regular native
backend paths, except we never make use of any CRTC backed onscreen
framebuffers.
Eventually, this "dummy" MetaKmsImplDevice will be replaced separating
"KMS" device objects from "render" device objects, but that will require
more significant changes. It will, however, be necessary for e.g. going
from being headless, only having access to a render node, to turning
into a real session, with a seat, being DRM master, and having access to
a card node.
This is currently not hooked up, but will be in a later commit.

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.
Currently not hooked up.

This leaves only the atomic mode setting cap check before creating the
impl device, aiming to make it possible to create a non-mode-setting
MetaKmsImplDevice implementation.

Make it possible to pass --headless as a command line argument in order
to turn the native backend "headless". This currently doesn't do
anything, but the intention is that it should not use logind nor KMS,
and work completely headless with only virtual outputs.

Input settings requires a valid seat in order to initialize the a11y
settings (since commit 1609d145), however in X11 we never set it and
even if we create the input settings early (as per commit 7547891a) we
never initialize the seat for it.
This leads to startup critical errors on X11:
clutter_seat_get_pointer_a11y_settings: assertion
'CLUTTER_IS_SEAT (seat)' failed

This commit adds the events created in the function
`meta_seat_x11_notify_devices` to the clutter events queue, which
are currently only added to the stage queue making the events not
being picked up by the `clutter_seat_handle_event_post` function.
This results in devices not getting added to the device-list of
`MetaInputSettings`.
Fixes the bug in which mouse and touchpad settings are not working in
the settings app during x11 session.

Since commit 2ceac4a device-related X11 events aren't processed anymore,
causing the input settings not to handle the devices.
This is due to the fact that we may never call clutter_seat_handle_event_post()
for such events.
While this is always happening for the native backend, it doesn't happen in
X11 because the events are removed from the queue as part of
meta_x11_handle_event(), and thus no event was queued to the stage by the
backend events source.
This also makes sure that the event post handler is called after the
event is actually processed, and not before an event is queued.

The nested backend may need to have an input setting implementation,
while we don't want to change the host settings (re-using an X11 input
settings) we can add a dummy implementation, until something more
complex is needed.

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.

With commit c985753442 the support for
multiple hardware cursors broke, but those were never properly supported
anyway as we usually assume there's only one hardware cursor around.
With the introduction of the KMS thread in the future, we'll only have
one KMS cursor that gets updated directly from the input thread. So
apart from the fact that it never really makes sense to have two cursors
visible, in this new model having multiple cursors won't work anyway.
So make the cursor we show for stylii a software cursor again.
Eventually the plan is to make the input device that's driving the KMS
cursor interchangeable, so that we can always use hardware cursors.
This reverts commit 165b7369c8.

This concerns only the cases when the presentation timestamp is received
directly from the device (from KMS or from GLX). In the majority of
cases this timestamp is already MONOTONIC. When it isn't, after this
commit, the current value of the MONOTONIC clock is sampled instead.
The alternative is to store the clock id alongside the timestamp, with
possible values of MONOTONIC, REALTIME (from KMS) and GETTIMEOFDAY (from
GLX; this might be the same as REALTIME, I'm not sure), and then
"convert" the timestamp to MONOTONIC when needed. An example of such a
conversion was done in compositor.c (removed in this commit). It would
also be needed for the presentation-time Wayland protocol. However, it
seems that the vast majority of up-to-date systems are using MONOTONIC
anyway, making this effort not justified.

KMS and GLX device timestamps have microsecond precision, and whenever
we sample the time ourselves it's not the real presentation time anyway,
so nanosecond precision for that case is unnecessary.
The presentation timestamp in ClutterFrameInfo is in microseconds, too,
so this commit makes them have the same precision.

A flag indicating whether the presentation timestamp was provided by the
display hardware (rather than sampled in user space).
It will be used for the presentation-time Wayland protocol.
This is definitely the case for page_flip_handler(), and I'm assuming
this is also the case for the two instances in the GLX code.

The old calculation was introduced to improve the precision
with commit c16a5ec1cf.
Here, I call the calculation as "revision 2", and the
calculation even older as "revision 1", and the new
calculation introduced with this commit as "reivion 3".
Revision 2 has two problems:
1. The calculation is mixed with fixed-point numbers and
floating-point numbers.
To overcome the precision loss of fixed-point numbers division,
it first "calculates refresh rate in milliHz first for extra
precision", but this requires converting the value back to Hz.
An extra calculation has performance and precision costs.
It is also hard to understand for programmers.
2. The calculation has a bias.
In the process, it does:
refresh += (drm_mode->vtotal / 2);
It prevents the value from being rounded to a smaller value in
a fixed-point integer arithmetics, but it only adds a small
bias (0.0005) and consumes some fraction bits for
floating point arithmetic.
Revision 3, introduced with this commit always uses
double-precision floating-point values for true precision and
to ease understanding of this code. It also removes the bias.
Another change is that it now has two internal values, numerator
and denominator. Revision 1 also calculated those two values
first, and later performed a division with them, which minimizes
the precision loss caused by divisions. This method has risks of
overflowing the two values and revision 1 caused problems due to
that, but revision 3 won't thanks to double-precision. Therefore,
revision 3 will theoretically have the result identical with
the calculation with infinite-precision.

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.

Each next and current scanout buffer has a reference on them making sure
they stay alive. When dumb buffers were used on the secondary GPU state,
this didn't happen, leading to crashes due to unref:ing one time too
many, with backtraces such as
0) g_type_check_instance_is_fundamentally_a ()
1) g_object_unref ()
2) secondary_gpu_release_dumb ()
3) import_shared_framebuffer ()
4) update_secondary_gpu_state_post_swap_buffers ()
5) meta_onscreen_native_swap_buffers_with_damage ()
6) cogl_onscreen_swap_buffers_with_damage ()

Without these devices, things that depend on the existance of input
device classes won't know about the existance of e.g. pointer devices,
if the only pointer device is from a virtual one.
This requires handling situations where e.g. a device doesn't have a
device node thus can't be matched against a udev device.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1688>
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.

Currently, when a remote desktop user submits a keycode, it will be
interpreted differently, when using the x11 session, instead of a
wayland session.
In a wayland session, submitting a keycode will have the expected
result (as if the key was pressed locally).
In a x11 session, this is not the case. Instead of getting the expected
key, some other key will be pressed (or sometimes even none).
The reason for this is that the native backend interprets the keycode
as evdev keycode and the x11 backend interprets the keycode as xkb
keycode.
To ensure that both backends produce the same behaviour when submitting
a keycode, fix the x11 backend to always interpret the keycode as evdev
keycode, instead of a xkb keycode.

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.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1727>
MetaVirtualInputDeviceX11 currently doesn't handle smooth scroll events
at all.
So, if a user of the remote desktop API uses smooth scroll events, then
only the wayland backend handles these events.
The user of the remote desktop API however, might not know which
backend is being used and actually the user should not even have to
care about it.
Actual smooth events cannot be emulated in the X11 events.
What can be done however is accumulating smooth events and then when
the accumulated steps surpass the DISCRETE_SCROLL_STEP value, emit a
discrete scroll event.
So, do exactly that, to make smooth scroll events work when the remote
desktop API is used with the x11 backend.

Given X11 nature, the pointer "leaves" the stage anytime it wanders into
a client window, or any other areas that are not deemed part of the
stage input region.
Yet we want to stay correct in those situations, e.g. have the clutter
side reasonably in sync, picking and highlighting to work properly, etc.
In order to achieve that, emulate motion events on XI_RawMotion. These
are as much throttled as our pointer tracking for a11y, in order to avoid
too many XIQueryPointer sync calls. This emulation only kicks in anytime
that X11 notifies us that we are not "on" the stage.
This replaces some sync_pointer() calls in GNOME Shell code that are
there just to compensate for this trait of X11, e.g. in the message tray
code.
