It is intended to replace using GetResources() and ChangeBacklight().
It moves from a normalized 1-100 numbers, to directly exposing the
hardware. This more closely maps to how gsd-backlight.c in
gnome-settings-daemon normally works, and simplifies the API a bit to
not have to deal with rounding issues.
There is still no KMS uAPI for this, so it still only hooks up to
XRANDR. Being private API, it doesn't try very hard to predict how the
KMS uAPI will look. When that day comes, it will likely need some
adaptations.
Part of the motivation here is to get something for gsd-backlight.c to
use where it can work more similarly to how the current common case
(sysefs) works, while attempting to migrate away from libgnome-rr.

This replaces the `legacy-ui-scaling-factor` entry in
`org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig`, with the motivation being to no longer
expose X11 specific state via the monitor configuration API.

Add a new service client type for a filechooser portal client, and
expose the x11_interop protocol to it.
This will be used to make Nautilus a file chooser portal implementation.

Allow compositing in a linear color space and do so either when forcing
it via the debug controls D-Bus API, or when the experimental HDR mode
is enabled.
This relies on paint nodes etc to actually transform everything into the
linear target color space, which isn't done yet, so enabling it right
now will cause a broken result. Yet, introduce this now, so that
painting can be fixed piece by piece.
Linear blending is automatically enabled on monitors where HDR is
enabled, as this makes it possible to use an linear color space when
blending content from different color spaces with different transfer
functions.
Linear blending requires extra precision, i.e. 16 bit per channel
in the intermediate buffer due how the values are distributed,
so only enable the experimental HDR mode if the Cogl context supports
half float formats.
By default, no intermadiate linear offscreen framebuffer is used.
To test, do e.g.
./tools/debug-control.py --toggle ForceLinearBlending

The debug controller can optionally, when passing --debug-control,
enable manipulating debug state, so far enabling/disabling HDR, via
D-Bus.
It's always created, in order to have a place to store debug state and
emit signals etc when it changes, but so far, it doesn't have its own
state it tracks, it just mirrors that of the monitor manager.

When a stream is destroyed by a consumer, mutter won't be able to
recognize that.
For mutter, the stream just paused, but did not disconnect, because the
connection state of a PipeWire stream only represents, whether the
respective PipeWire context is connected to PipeWire.
In addition to that, it may be the case, that the stream consumer just
recreates the stream.
So even if mutter would be able to know, when the stream consumer
destroyed a stream, but not the whole screencast or remote-desktop
session, then mutter would not know, whether the stream will be resumed
eventually or not.
So, add an explicit API call to the screencast interface to stop a
stream.
For virtual streams, this also means, that the respective virtual
monitor is destroyed.

Remote desktop version 2 added a new method ConnectToEIS .
ConnectToEIS allows clients to requests a file descriptor from the
compositor which can then be used directly from libei.
Once established, the communication between compositor and application
is direct, without the need to go through the portal process(es).

This adds the actual input capturing rerouting that takes events and
first hands them to the input capture session, would it be active.
Events are right now not actually processed in any way, but will
eventually be passed to a libei client using libeis.
A key binding for allowing cancelling the capture session is added
(defaults to <Super><Shift>Escape) to avoid getting stuck in case the client
doesn't even terminate the session.
The added test case makes sure that the pointer moves again after
pressing the keybinding.

This API aims to provide a way for users to capture input devices under
certain conditions, for example when a pointer crosses a specified
barrier.
So far only part of the API is implemented, specifially the session
management as well as zone advertisement, where a zone refers to a
region in the compositor which edges will eventually be made available
for barrier placement.
So far the remote access handle is created while the session is enable,
despite the input capturing isn't actually active yet. This will change
in the future once it can actually become active.

The service channel D-Bus interface aims to be a "back door" for
services that needs special casing in Mutter, e.g. have custom private
protocols only meant to be used by that particular service.
There are currently no special casing implemented; only the basic
service channel infrastructure is added. There is a single method on the
interface, that is meant to eventually be used by
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome to open a Wayland connection with a private
protocol needed for the portal backend's rather special window
management needs.
The service channel Wayland client works by allowing one instance of
each "type", where each time needs to be defined to work in parallel. If
a new service client connects, the old one will be disconnected.
MetaWaylandClient's are used to manage the service clients, and are
assigned the service client type.

Currently, the peripheral "output" setting will be unset if Mutter is
deciding automatically the mapped output of a tablet device. In that
case, gnome-control-center will have a hard time figuring out itself
the better output to show the tablet calibration UI, unless it's hand
held by Mutter.
Add this private D-Bus interface so that gnome-control-center can look
up the output as determined by Mutter to bring the missing harmony
between both. This interface consists of a simple method to get the
mapped output for a input device node.

It uses the org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Screen D-Bus API. Currently
brightness set if the proxy is not ready are ignored; whether the
brightness value should be cached and set once it appears or whether
color profiles should be reapplied is yet to be decided.

gsd-color provides this API, which exposes details about the night light
state. Currently, gsd-color also turns this state into CRTC gamma
changes, but this will eventually change, and this is a preparation for
this.
The proxy isn't yet used for anything.

Adding a <dbus/> element containing a boolean (yes/no) determines
whether org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig ApplyMonitorsConfig will be
callable. The state is also introspectable via the
ApplyMonitorsConfigAllowed property on the same interface.
For example
<monitors version="2">
<policy>
<dbus>no</dbus>
</policy>
</monitors>

The code style in the remote-desktop API is currently a mess.
While, the overall code style in mutter and gnome-remote-desktop is to
use spaces as tabulator, the remote-desktop API is mixed with both
spaces as tabulators and actual tabulators.
In addition to that, the code style in the XDG desktop portal APIs uses
spaces as tabulators as well.
To unify the code style, replace all actual tabulators with spaces.
