It's a UI pattern that has been superseded by client-side decorations,
apps that used to set the hint have generally moved on to headerbars.
Given that and the limitation to server-side decorated X11 windows,
GTK4 removed the client-side API for setting the hint, it's time to
follow suite and retire the feature.

It cuts out some of the GObject boilerplate, and gives us g_autoptr()
support for free.
Since this changes the ABI, we also need to bump the libmutter API
version.
Following up last commit, this commit adds a CoglFramebuffer
argument to meta_shadow_paint(), and stops using the draw
framebuffer internally.
The only consumer of this API, MetaWindowActor, still passes
the draw framebuffer though.
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.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759538
- 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.
