As with other parts, make objects have the ability to walk up the
ownership chain to the context, to get things like the Wayland
compositor or backend instances.
Contains these squashed commits:
display: Don't get backend from singleton
window: Don't get backend from singleton
keybindings: Don't get backend from singleton
workspace: Don't get backend from singleton
display: Don't get Wayland compositor from singleton
selection: Add display getter
context/main: Get backend directly from the context
clipboard-manager: Don't get display from singleton
stack-tracker: Don't use singleton MetaLater API
startup-notification: Hook up sequences and activations to display
This allows using context aware API directly.

There is very little point in sending an X11 client message to
gnome-panel in case gnome-shell isn't handling the binding. We
can just as well do nothing, so do exactly that.

Since commit c255031b6d, we allow some modifier+scroll events to
pass through to Clutter to enable gnome-shell to handle them. That
action shouldn't trigger a modifier-only action at the same time, so
reset the corresponding tracking just like we do for modifier+click.

Since commit c255031b6d we pass scroll-events through to
the compositor if the window_grab_modifiers are pressed;
in order to allow gnome-shell to check for those events,
expose the struct member as a MetaDisplay property.
Also take the opportunity to pick a more generic name, now
that the modifier is no longer used exclusively for mouse
clicks (unless we maintain the notion of scroll events as
button 4 and 5 "clicks").

Aligning windows manually with other windows has become less important
since the advent of tiling. This decreases the usefulness of edge
resistance, which in fact many users perceive as lag nowadays.
Account for that by limiting resistance to screen and monitor edges by
default, and only include windows when the control key is pressed.

Using XDG_CONFIG_HOME allows users to place their keyboard configuration into
their home directory and have them loaded automatically.
libxkbcommon now defaults to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/ first, see
https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/pull/117
However - libxkbcommon uses secure_getenv() to obtain XDG_CONFIG_HOME and thus
fails to load this for the mutter context which has cap_sys_nice.
We need to manually add that search path as lookup path.
As we can only append paths to libxkbcommon's context, we need to start with
an empty search path set, add our custom path, then append the default search
paths.
The net effect is nil where a user doesn't have XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xkb/.

Move to center uses all monitors for calculating work area.
This can lead to an unexpected behaviour on some monitor
configurations resulting in current window being split between
monitors. We should move window to the center of the active display.

Make sure it is only the special modifier (hardcoded to 1 currently)
which is being pressed (not counting locked modifiers) before notifying
that the special modifier is pressed, as we are interested in it being
pressed alone and not in combination with other modifier keys.
This helps in two ways:
- Pressing alt, then ctrl, then releasing both won't trigger the locate
pointer action.
- Pressing alt, then ctrl, then down/up to switch workspace won't interpret
the last up/down keypress as an additional key on top of the special ctrl
modifier, thus won't be forwarded down to the focused client in the last
second.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/812https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1014
If you first press a key that triggers the "special modifier key" paths
(ctrl, super), and then press another key that doesn't match (yet?) any
keybindings (eg. ctrl+alt, super+x), the second key press goes twice
through process_event(), once in the processing of this so far special
combination and another while we let the event through.
In order to keep things consistent, handle it differently depending on
whether we are a wayland compositor or not. For X11, consider the event
handled after the call to process_event() in process_special_modifier_key().
For Wayland, as XIAllowEvents is not the mechanism that allows clients see
the key event, we can just fall through the regular paths, without this
special handling.

MetaGravity is an enum, where the values match the X11 macros used for
gravity, with the exception that `ForgetGravity` was renamed
`META_GRAVITY_NONE` to have less of a obscure name.
The motivation for this is to rely less on libX11 data types and macros
in generic code.

With the addition of the locate-pointer special keybinding (defaults to
the [Control] key), we have now two separate special modifier keys which
can be triggered separately, one for the locate-pointer action and
another one for overlay.
When processing those special modifier keys, mutter must ensure that the
key was pressed alone, being a modifier, the key could otherwise be part
of another key combo.
As result, if both special modifiers keys are pressed simultaneously,
mutter will try to trigger the function for the second key being
pressed, and since those special modifier keys have no default handler
function set, that will crash mutter.
Check if the handler has a function associated and treat the keybinding
as not found if no handler function is set, as with the special modifier
keys.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/823
The `process_event()` would check for a existing keybinding handler and
abort if there is none, however the test is done after the handler had
been accessed, hence defeating the purpose of the check.
Move the check to verify there is an existing keybinding handler before
actually using it.

After the introduction of locate-pointer (commit 851b7d063 -
“keybindings: Trigger locate-pointer on key modifier”), inhibiting
shortcuts would no longer forward the overlay key to the client.
Restore the code that was inadvertently removed so that inhibiting
shortcuts works on the overlay key again.

We don't strictly need it for wayland compositors, yet there are
paths where we try to trigger those passive grabs there. Just
skip those on the high level code (where "is it x11" decisions
are taken) like we do with passive button grabs.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/709
On X11, mutter needs to keep a grab on the locate-pointer key to be able
to trigger the functionality time the corresponding key combo is
pressed.
However, doing so may have side effects on other X11 clients that would
want to have a grab on the same key.
Make sure we only actually grab the key combo for "locate-pointer" only
when the feature is actually enabled, so that having the locate pointer
feature turned off (the default) would not cause side effects on other
X11 clients that might want to use the same key for their own use.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/647
Some special modifiers (typically "Control_L" used for locate-pointer in
mutter/gnome-shell or "Super_L" for overlay) must be handled separately
from the rest of the key bindings.
Add a new flag `META_KEY_BINDING_NO_AUTO_GRAB` so we can tell when
dealing with that special keybinding which should not be grabbed
automatically like the rest of the keybindings, and skip those when
changing the grabs of all keybindings.

We use the combination of pressing Super and clicking+moving the mouse
to drag windows around and we also support pressing Super and using the
touchscreen to drag windows.
Since we don't want to show the overview when the Super key was used to
initiate a window drag, prevent showing the overview in case a
TOUCH_BEGIN or TOUCH_END event happened during the key was pressed.

The external grab handler is shared across all external bindings and external
bindings have now different binding flags. For this reason, when rebuilding the
binding table there could be loss of information if we assign the bindings flags
of the external handler to all external bindings. Let's store the bindings flags
in MetaKeyGrab too and use this when rebuilding the binding table to avoid the
above issue.

The "force restore shortcuts" being triggered by a key-combo, there is
no guarantee that the currently focused window is actually non-NULL in
which case we would crash.
Make sure there is a window currently focused before trying to restore
the shortcuts on that window.

Moving windows using `move-to-side-X` and `move-corner-XX` keybindings
should keep windows within the confines of current screen.
`move-to-monitor-XXX` keybindings can be used to move windows to other
monitors.

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.
