Constantly manipulating the stack caused severe stalls (several seconds)
with many open windows when switching workspaces. The cause for this was
that each show/hide call dealt with the stack in isolation, meaning if
you hid N windows, we'd manipulate and synchronize the stack N times,
potentially doing synchronous calls to the X server while doing so.
Avoid the most severe stalls by freezing the stack while calculating
showing; this made the worst case go from several seconds to around
10-20 ms, which is still bad, but by far not as bad.

Banish MetaInputSettings from MetaBackend "public" API, it's now meant to
spend the rest of its days in the backend dungeons, maybe hanging
off a thread.
MetaInputMapper replaces all external uses.

These use now more of a "pull" model, where they receive update
notifications and the relevant input position is queried, instead
of the coordinates being passed along.
This allows to treat cursor renderers all the same independently
of the device they track. This notifying of position changes should
ideally be more backend-y than core-y, a better location will be
figured out in future commits.

Commit 03c69ed8 ("Do not go past size hints on resize") was meant to
ensure the size hints set by the client would be honored during resize,
as going past those values could cause the window to move on resize.
However, it did so by calling ensure_size_hints_satisfied() which works
with the frame rect rather than the client rect. As a result, the
minimum size enforced would end up being larger than expected with
client-side decorations.
Use meta_window_maybe_apply_size_hints() instead which automatically
adjusts for client size.

We will use a dedicated variable when transitioning to/from fullscreen state
and leave the previously used 'saved_rect' exclusively for transitioning
between floating and maximized state.

Bug 448183 fixed an issue with _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW not moving a
window by basing the resize on the current (new) rectangle instead of
the original rectangle.
While this fixes the issue with _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW, this also
causes windows with a size increment to move when the resize also
implies a move, such windows might drift while resizing.
Make sure to use the current rectangle for non-interactive resizes only.
Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/543
On interactive resize, mutter calculates the difference in size based on
the pointer location and relies on window constraints to ensure the
minimum size is honored.
Wayland however does asynchronous window configuration, meaning that not
checking for size hints early enough may lead to the window moving as
the locations was initially computed on a size which will be invalidate
by the client eventually.
Make sure to respect the client size hint on update_resize() so that we
don't end up with a window moving unexpectedly when the client
eventually acked the configuration.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679609
Commit 033f0d11bf added a fallback in case the tile monitor wasn't
set before, but didn't actually check for a previously set value.
As a result, the "fallback" is not set unconditionally, which may
differ from the expected monitor: The tile monitor is determined
by the pointer position, while the window's monitor is the one
where the biggest part of the window resides on.

It's pointless to call into functions that produce information that will
end up nowhere, so lets not. This will generate less angst when doing
more intense data gathering and string generation in debug log calls.

We only update the last device from actual input interaction here,
avoid this pair of events. This is specially nasty with
CLUTTER_DEVICE_REMOVED, since the device we're notifying upon will be
disposed soon after emission.

This is already taken care of in meta_backend_monitors_changed(), called
from the same code paths that emit ::monitors-changed-internal. It is
better to leave this up to backend internals.

Analogous to `ClutterDrawDebugFlag` but intended for concepts that
are not present in Clutter, such as Wayland/X11 opaque regions.
Also add the first flag for the later.
To set the flag, run:
`Meta.add_debug_paint_flag(Meta.DebugPaintFlag.OPAQUE_REGION)`
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1372
meta_run() is still left intact and does the same as before; the new
functions are only intended to be used by tests, as they may need to set
things up after starting up. Doing so linearly in the test case is much
easier than adding callbacks, so meta_run() is split up to make this
possible.

The delete event was used for signalling the close button was clicked on
clutter windows. Being a compositor we should never see these, unless
we're running nested. Remove the plumbing of the DELETE event and just
directly call meta_quit() when we see it, if we're running nested.

Allowing code from inside mutter to create a child process and
delegate on it some of its tasks is something very useful. This can
be done easily with the g_subprocess and g_subprocess_launcher classes
already available in GLib and GObject.
Unfortunately, although the child process can be a graphical program,
currently it is not possible for the inner code to identify the
windows created by the child in a secure manner (this is: being able
to ensure that a malicious program won't be able to trick the inner
code into thinking it is a child process launched by it).
Under X11 this is not a problem because any program has full control
over their windows, but under Wayland it is a different story: a
program can't neither force their window to be kept at the top (like a
docker program does) or at the bottom (like a program for desktop icons
does), nor hide it from the list of windows. This means that it is not
possible for a "classic", non-priviledged program, to fulfill these
tasks, and it can be done only from code inside mutter (like a
gnome-shell extension).
This is a non desirable situation, because an extension runs in the
same main loop than the whole desktop itself, which means that a
complex extension can need to do too much work inside the main loop,
and freeze the whole desktop for too much time. Also, it is important
to note that javascript doesn't have access to fork(), or threads,
which means that, at most, all the parallel computing that can do is
those available in the _async calls in GLib/GObject.
Also, having to create an extension for any priviledged graphical
element is an stopper for a lot of programmers who already know
GTK+ but doesn't know Clutter.
This patch wants to offer a solution to this problem, by offering a
new class that allows to launch a trusted child process from inside
mutter, and make it to use an specific UNIX socket to communicate
with the compositor. It also allows to check whether an specific
MetaWindow was created by one of this trusted child processes or not.
This allows to create extensions that launch a child process, and
when that process creates a window, the extension can confirm in a
secure way that the window really belongs to that process
launched by it, so it can give to that window "superpowers" like
being kept at the bottom of the desktop, not being listed in the
list of windows or shown in the Activities panel... Also, in future
versions, it could easily implement protocol extensions that only
could be used by these trusted child processes.
Several examples of the usefulness of this are that, with it, it
is possible to write programs that implements:
- desktop icons
- a dock
- a top or bottom bar
...
all in a secure manner, avoiding insecure programs to do the same.
In fact, even if the same code is launched manually, it won't have
those privileges, only the specific process launched from inside
mutter.
Since this is only needed under Wayland, it won't work under X11.

There are a couple of places in gnome-shell where we aren't interested
in which workspace is active, but whether a given workspace is active.
Of course it's easy to use the former to determine the latter, but we
can offer a convenience property on the workspace itself almost for
free, so let's do that.

Make the clutter_input_device_get_actor() API public and remove
clutter_input_device_get_pointer_actor() in favour of the new function.
This allows also getting the "pointer" actor for a given touch sequence,
not only for real pointer input devices like mice.

X11 window stacking operations are by nature prone to race conditions.
For example, we might queue a "raise above" operation, but before it
actually takes place, the sibling the window was to be rased above, is
withdrawn.
In these cases we'd log warnings even though they are expected to
happen. Downgrade these warnings to debug messages, only printed when
MUTTER_VERBOSE is set.

When an app disappears after some data from it has been copied to the
clipboard, the owner of the clipboard selection becomes a new memory
selection source. The initial reference this new selection source is
never unref'ed, which leads to this being leaked on the next clipboard
selection owner change.

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/.

We would get the MetaDisplay from the backend singleton before creating
the MetaCompositor, then in MetaCompositor, get the backend singleton
again to get the stage. To get rid of the extra singleton fetching, just
pass the backend the MetaCompositor constructors, and fetch the stage
directly from the backend everytime it's needed.
This also makes it available earlier than before, as we didn't set our
instance private stage pointer until the manage() call.

Move Wayland support (i.e. the MetaWaylandCompositor object) made to be
part of the backend. This is due to the fact that it is needed by the
backend initialization, e.g. the Wayland EGLDisplay server support.
The backend is changed to be more involved in Wayland and clutter
initialization, so that the parts needed for clutter initialization
happens before clutter itself initialization happens, and the rest
happens after. This simplifies the setup a bit, as clutter and Wayland
init now happens as part of the backend initialization.
