Both Clutter and Cogl use g_return(_val)_if_fail() to safeguard
introspected API. Release builds were dropping these checks, which could
result in a much more crashy experience, especially when considering
extensions, but also due to bugs in the shell code itself.
This won't affect any major distro, because they all use "plain" builds.

All pointer a11y is a fabrication of Clutter backend-independent
code, with the help of a ClutterVirtualInputDevice and with some
UI on top.
On the other hand, MetaInputSettings is a backend implementation
detail, this has 2 gotchas:
- In the native backend, the MetaInputSettings (and pointer a11y
with it) are initialized early, before the ClutterSeat core
pointer is set up.
- Doing this from the MetaInputSettings also means another dubious
access from the input thread into main thread territory.
Move the pointer a11y into ClutterSettings, making this effectively
backend-independent business, invariably done from the main thread
and ensured to happen after seat initialization.

The end goal is to have all clutter backend code in src/backends. Input
is the larger chunk of it, which is now part of our specific
MutterClutterBackendNative, this extends to device manager, input devices,
tools and keymap.
This was supposed to be nice and incremental, but there's no sane way
to cut this through. As a result of the refactor, a number of private
Clutter functions are now exported for external backends to be possible.

Add debug flags based on meson's `debug` option instead of `buildtype`.
This allows custom build configurations to behave like a debug or release build.
Add `-fno-omit-frame-pointer` to Mutter/Cogl. Not to Clutter though, as that would
require more changes to how Clutter's gir is created
Remove `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` from Clutter in debug builds
Add `-DG_DISABLE_CHECKS`, `-DG_DISABLE_ASSERT` and `-DG_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS` to all
non-debug builds but `plain`, which explicitly should not have any compile flags
Use `cc.get_supported_arguments`, so it becomes more obvious to the user which flags
are set during compilation

Pango functions pango_unichar_direction() and pango_find_base_dir() have been
deprecated in pango 1.44, since these are used mostly clutter and gtk, copy the
code from pango and use fribidi dependency explicitly.
This is the same strategy used by Gtk.

Meson 0.50.0 made passing an absolute path to install_headers()'
subdir keyword a fatal error. This means we have to track both
relative (to includedir) paths for header subdirs and absolute
paths for generated headers now :-(

pkg-config files for mutter are generated using *_pkg_deps as requires, but
programs linked with libmutter doesn't need most of these private dependencies
which are only needed for building and linking mutter and its subprojects.
So list packages needed only by mutter itself inside *_pkg_private_deps and
don't expose such packages to pkg-config, but only use them at build time.

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'.
