When a transfer request is done to the MetaSelectionSourceRemote source,
it's translated to a SelectionTransfer signal, which the remote desktop
server is supposed to respond to with SelectionWrite.
A timeout (set to 15 seconds) is added to handle too long timeouts,
which cancels the transfer request.

Nothing is hooked up, it only does basic sanity checking i.e. whether
the clipboard was enabled when interacting with it. No actual clipboard
integration is hooked up yet.
This also syncs org.gnome.Mutter.RemoteDesktop.xml from
gnome-remote-desktop.

Currently, the NotifyPointerAxis method always assumes that the scroll
source is CLUTTER_SCROLL_SOURCE_FINGER.
This is however not always true and in some cases a remote desktop
client needs to submit a PointerAxis event with a custom axis step.
This is for example the case with high resolution mouse wheels, where
the NotifyPointerAxisDiscrete method is unsuitable.
In such cases NotifyPointerAxis needs to be called, but with the
intention that the scroll source is still a mouse wheel.
To solve this situation, don't assume the scroll source always to be
CLUTTER_SCROLL_SOURCE_FINGER.
Instead, add further flag options to NotifyPointerAxis, which allow a
remote desktop client to choose the scroll source.
This way a remote desktop client can choose what scroll source is the
most suitable one for the current scroll event.

The portal API requires a screencast session only for absolution motion
with remote desktop, other methods including relative motion do not
require a screencast session.
There is no reason to be more strict than the API actually is, check for
a screencast session only when required, like for absolute motion events
and touch events.
Tested with https://gitlab.gnome.org/snippets/1122

They all checked that the remote session service talked with the
correct peer, and some of them did check that there is an associated
screencast session.
Add a new check for the session being started (as it's state is
decoupled with screencast session availability) and move all checks
to a function that is called from all input-oriented DBus methods.

This is inspired by 98892391d7 where the usage of
`g_signal_handler_disconnect()` without resetting the corresponding
handler id later resulted in a bug. Using `g_clear_signal_handler()`
makes sure we avoid similar bugs and is almost always the better
alternative. We use it for new code, let's clean up the old code to
also use it.
A further benefit is that it can get called even if the passed id is
0, allowing us to remove a lot of now unnessecary checks, and the fact
that `g_clear_signal_handler()` checks for the right type size, forcing us
to clean up all places where we used `guint` instead of `gulong`.
No functional changes intended here and all changes should be trivial,
thus bundled in one big commit.

Commit 25f416c13d added additional compilation warnings, including
-Werror=return-type. There are several places where this results
in build failures if `g_assert_not_reached()` is disabled at compile
time and the compiler misses a return value.

Virtual keyboard and pointer are freed on session close, but the
virtual touchscreen isn't.
Avoid a leak by freeing the virtual touchscreen along with the rest of
virtual devices.
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.
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 the coordinates was for a stream not at the stage position (0, 0),
they'd be incorrect. Fix this by correctly translating the coordinates
according to the stream position.
This commit adds basic screen casting and remote desktoping
functionalty. This works by exposing two D-Bus API services:
org.gnome.Mutter.ScreenCast and org.gnome.Mutter.RemoteDesktop.
The remote desktop API is used to create remote desktop sessions. For
each session, a D-Bus object is created, and an application can manage
the session by sending messages to the session object. A remote desktop
session the user to emit input events using the D-Bus methods on the
session object. To get framebuffer content, the application should
create an associated screen cast session.
The screen cast API is used to create screen cast sessions. One can so
far either create stand-alone screen cast sessions, or a screen cast
session associated with a remote desktop session. A remote desktop
associated screen cast session is managed by the remote desktop session.
So far only remote desktop managed screen cast sessions are implemented.
Each screen cast session may have one or more streams. A screen cast
stream is a stream of buffers of some part of the compositor content.
So far API exists for creating streams of monitors and windows, but
only monitor streams are implemented.
When a screen cast session is started, the one PipeWire stream is
created for each screen cast stream created for the session. When this
has happened, a PipeWireStreamAdded signal is emitted on the stream
object, passing a unique identifier. The application may use this
identifier to find the associated stream being advertised by the
PipeWire daemon.
The remote desktop and screen cast functionality must be explicitly be
enabled at ./configure time by passing --enable-remote-desktop to
./configure. Doing this will build both screen cast and remote desktop
support.
To actually enable the screen casting and remote desktop, the user must
enable the experimental feature. See
org.gnome.mutter.experimental-features.
