wlroots picks names for all outputs, but it might be desirable for
compositor to override it.
For instance, Sway will use a headless output as a fallback in
case no outputs are connected. Sway wants to clearly label the
fallback output as such and label "real" headless outputs starting
from HEADLESS-1.
This allows output commit listeners to access the newly committed
buffer. Currently wlr_output.front_buffer is used but it'll get
removed in the next commit.
DRM formats with an empty modifier list are invalid. Instead of
emptying the list, reduce it to { INVALID }.
Add a check to make sure the renderer and backend support implicit
modifiers, so that we don't fallback on e.g. Vulkan.

This allows compositors to get primary formats without manually
calling wlr_output_impl.get_primary_formats.
For example, the Sway patch for linux-dmabuf feedback [1] needs
this.

Sometimes we were calling wlr_output_impl.set_cursor with a NULL
buffer, but we weren't clearing wlr_output.cursor_front_buffer.
Avoid leaving a dangling buffer behind.
Introduce a helper function output_set_hardware_cursor which calls
wlr_output_impl.set_cursor and keeps cursor_front_buffer in sync.
All graphics drivers supporting cursor planes support ARGB8888,
the default cursor format, so this fallback is almost certainly
unused.
Essentially all cursor themes use alpha transparency to make it
clearer where relative to the screen content the cursor hotspot is.
It is better to fall back to a slightly slower software cursor than
it is to fall back to the opaque square that is a hardware cursor
without an alpha channel.
This change introduces new double buffered state to the wlr_output,
corresponding to the buffer format to render to.
The format being rendered to does not control the bit depth of colors
being sent to the display; it does generally determine the format with
which screenshot data is provided. The DRM backend _may_ sent higher
bit depths if the render format depth is increased, but hardware and
other limitations may apply.
Most (and possibly all) compositors using wlroots only ever render
fully opaque content. To provide better performance, this change
switches the default format used by wlr_output buffers from
ARGB8888 to the opaque XRGB8888.
Compositors like mutter, kwin, and weston already default to
XRGB8888, so this change is unlikely to expose any new bugs in
underlying drivers and hardware.
This does not affect the hardware cursor's buffer format, which is
still ARGB8888 by default.
As part of this change, the X11 backend (which does not support
changing format at runtime) now picks a true color, 24 bit depth
visual (i.e. XRGB8888) instead of a 32 bit depth (ARGB8888) one.
This makes it possible for the two functions using output_pick_format
(output_pick_cursor_format and output_create_swapchain) to select
different buffer formats.
The backend and renderer don't directly interact together, so there's
no point in checking that their buffer caps intersect. What we want to
check is that:
- The backend and allocator buffer caps are compatible, because the
backend consumes buffers to display them.
- The renderer and allocator buffer caps are compatible, because the
renderer imports buffers to sample them or render to them.
For instance, when running with the DRM backend and the Pixman renderer,
the (backend & renderer) check will fail because backend = DMABUF and
renderer = DATA_PTR.
Variables on the stack are released when the parent block is closed.
Here, `now` is used outside of the `if` block, causing the following
crash when starting Sway with the headless backend:

This organizes the wlr_output implementation into separate files.
This avoids having a single mega-file with lots of unrelated parts
and makes it more obvious what the interactions between all the
parts are.
No functional changes, just moving code around.
