Split out the client/resource handling out of wlr_buffer by introducing
wlr_client_buffer. Make wlr_buffer an interface so that compositors can
create their own wlr_buffers (e.g. backed by GBM, like glider [1]).

This function allowed backends to provide a custom function for frame
scheduling. Before resuming the rendering loop, the DRM and Wayland
backends would wait for vsync.
There isn't a clear benefit of doing this. The only upside is that we
get more stable timings: the delay between two repaints doesn't change too
much and is close to a mutliple of the refresh rate.
However this introduces latency, especially when a client misses a
frame. For instance a fullscreen game missing vblank will need to wait
more than a whole frame before being able to display new content. This
worst case scenario happens as follows:
- Client is still rendering its frame and cannot submit it in time
- Deadline is reached
- Compositor decides to stop the rendering loop since nothing changed on
screen
- Client finally manages to render its frame, submits it
- Compositor calls wlr_output_schedule_frame
- DRM backend waits for next vblank
- The wlr_output frame event is fired, compositor draws new content on screen
- On the second next vblank, the new content reaches the screen
With this patch, the wlr_output frame event is fired immediately when
the client submits its late frame.
This change also makes it easier to support variable refresh rate, since
VRR is all about being able to present too-late frames earlier.

The keyboard shortcuts inhibitor protocol is useful for remote desktop
and virtualization software in order to request all keyboard events to
be passed to it and (almost) none being resonded to by the compositor.
This allows the session at the other end of the remote desktop
connection or inside the virtual machine to be interacted with as usual
(e.g. Alt+Tab to switch windows on the remote system instead of
locally).
Add the wayland protocol to the meson build files.
Copy'n'search'n'replace the very similar idle inhibit protocol
implementation. This already provides all the basic functionality:
- creating and destroying inhibitors upon request by a client,
- destruction in reaction to destruction of surfaces or displays,
- a list of inhibitors to search through for existing ones as well as
- a signal to be sent to the compositor upon registration of a new
inhibitor.
Beyond that we add the active and inactive events to be sent to the
client and wire those to activate and deactivate functions for the
compositor to call in confirmation of activation of a new inhibitor or
(un-)suspending of an existing inhibitor e.g. in response to a special
key combination entered by the user as suggested by the protocol.
As mandated by the protocol, we check the existance of an inhibitor for
a given surface and seat upon creation and return the error provided by
the protocol for that purpose.

Previously, if the current configuration contains an output X which is
destroyed, its head is automatically removed. If the compositor submits
the new configuration after X was removed, the current output
configuration is incorrectly detected to be the same as the previous
one, and no done event is sent. To prevent this, we can just keep track
of whether the current configuration is dirty, i.e whether we have sent
a done event for it.
Add a wlr_renderer.rendering bool, set it to true between
wlr_renderer_begin() and wlr_renderer_end(). Assert we're rendering when
calling functions that render.
Since [1], the xdg-output description is mutable. Listen to output
description changes and send the new output description when updated.
[1]: 048102f21a
wlr_output.description is a string containing a human-readable string
identifying the output. Compositors can customise it via
wlr_output_set_description, for instance to make the name more
user-friendly.

- Remove all intermediate static libraries.
They serve no purpose and are just add a bunch of boilerplate for
managing dependencies and options. It's now managed as a list of
files which are compiled into libwlroots directly.
- Use install_subdir instead of installing headers individually.
I've changed my mind since I did that. Listing them out is annoying as
hell, and it's easy to forget to do it.
- Add not_found_message for all of our optional dependencies that have a
meson option. It gives some hints about what option to pass and what
the optional dependency is for.
- Move all backend subdirectories into their own meson.build. This
keeps some of the backend-specific build logic (especially rdp and
session) more neatly separated off.
- Don't overlink example clients with code they're not using.
This was done by merging the protocol dictionaries and setting some
variables containing the code and client header file.
Example clients now explicitly mention what extension protocols they
want to link to.
- Split compositor example logic from client example logic.
- Minor formatting changes
Remove glapi.sh code generation, replace it with hand-written loading
code that checks extension strings before calling eglGetProcAddress.
The GLES2 renderer still uses global state because of:
- {PUSH,POP}_GLES2_DEBUG macros
- wlr_gles2_texture_from_* taking a wlr_egl instead of the renderer
Some globals are static and it doesn't make sense to destroy them before
the wl_display. For instance, wl_compositor should be created before the
display is started and shouldn't be destroyed.
For these globals, we can simplify the code by removing the destructor
and stop keeping track of wl_resources (these will be destroyed with the
wl_display by libwayland).
Most of the time, compositors just display the surface's current buffer
on an output. Add an helper to make it easy to support presentation-time
in this case.
The wlr_presentation_feedback struct now tracks presentation feedback
for multiple resources (but still a single surface content update). This
allows the compositor to properly send presentation events even when
there is more than one frame of latency or when it references a
surface's buffer.
This is set to the value of wlr_output.commit_seq when the frame has
been submitted. This allows tracking presentation with more then 1 full
frame of latency.

Expose the remote wl_display, wl_surface and wl_seat used by the Wayland
backend.
This allows compositors to customize the Wayland backend and to have
more freedom. For instance a compositor might want to handle clipboard
and drag-and-drop from the remote Wayland compositor. Another compositor
might want to setup pointer constraints.
Prior to this commit, compositors needed to render the texture to an
intermediate off-screen buffer using wlr_renderer APIs if they wanted to
use a custom rendering path (e.g. render to a 3D scene).
A new wlr_gles2_texture_get_attribs exposes the GL texture target and ID
so that compositors can render wlr_textures with their own shaders. An
example of a compositor doing so is available at [1].

A wlr_keyboard_group allows for multiple keyboard devices to be
combined into one logical keyboard. Each keyboard device can only be
added to one keyboard group. This helps with the situation where one
physical keyboard is exposed as multiple keyboard devices. It is up to
the compositors on how they group keyboards together, if at all.
Since a wlr_keyboard_group is one logical keyboard, the keys are a set.
This means that if a key is pressed on multiple keyboard devices, the
key event will only be emitted once, but the internal state will count
the number of devices that the key is pressed on. Likewise, the key
release will not be emitted until the key is released from all devices.
If the compositor wants access to which keys are pressed and released
on each keyboard device, the events for those devices can be listened
to, as they currently are, in addition to the group keyboard's events.
Also, all keyboard devices in the group must share the same keymap. If
the keymap's differ, the keyboard device will not be able to be added
to the group. Once in the group, if the keymap or effective layout for
one keyboard device changes, it will be synced to all keyboard devices
in the group. The repeat info and keyboard modifiers are also synced
Without this information, compositors have no way to tell whether
or not to consider the position information valid. Most notably,
a compositor needs to know if it should pick a position for the
surface or use the position sent in the configure request.
Since e26217c51e3a5e1d7dfc95a8a76299e056497981, touchpoints can outlive
surfaces. This works fine as long as the client stays around, but fails
horribly otherwise; therefore we have to make sure that touchpoints don't
outlive their clients.
Fixes#1788
From the xdg-shell specification:
If the parent is unmapped then its children are managed as
though the parent of the now-unmapped parent has become the
parent of this surface. If no parent exists for the now-unmapped
parent then the children are managed as though they have no
parent surface.
This commit makes more output properties (mode, enabled, scale and transform)
atomic. This means that they are double-buffered and only applied on commit.
Compositors now need to call wlr_output_commit after setting any of those
properties.
Internally, backends still apply properties sequentially. The behaviour should
be exactly the same as before. Future commits will update some backends to take
advantage of the atomic interface. Some backends are non-atomic by design, e.g.
the X11 backend or the legacy DRM backend.
Updates: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/1640
This prevents screencopy applications from hanging because a failed
event never got sent when the output was disconnected or disabled after
the call to buffer().
The documentation for wayland-server.h says:
> Use of this header file is discouraged. Prefer including
> wayland-server-core.h instead, which does not include the server protocol
> header and as such only defines the library PI, excluding the deprecated API
> below.
Replacing wayland-server.h with wayland-server-core.h allows us to drop the
WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED declaration.
AFAIK this was always set to zero. Instead, compute wl_output mode flags on the
fly.
Technically this is a breaking change, but I don't think anybody uses this
field.
