In order for a surface to be used as a cursor plane framebuffer, it
appears that requiring the buffer to be linear is sufficient.
GBM_BO_USE_SCANOUT is added in case GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR isn't sufficient
on untested hardware.
Fixes#1323
Removed wlr_drm_plane.cursor_bo as it does not serve any purpose
anymore.
Relevant analysis (taken from the PR description):
While trying to implement a fix for #1323, I found that when exporting
the rendered surface into a DMA-BUF and reimporting it with
`GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR`, the resulting object does not appear to be valid.
After some digging (turning on drm-kms debugging and switching to legacy
mode), I managed to extract the following error: ```
[drm:__setplane_check.isra.1 [drm]] Invalid pixel format AR24
little-endian (0x34325241), modifier 0x100000000000001 ``` The format
itself refers to ARGB8888 which is the same format as
`renderer->gbm_format` used in master to create the cursor bo. However,
using `gbm_bo_create` with `GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR` results in a modifier of
0. A modifier of zero represents a linear buffer while the modifier of
the surface that is rendered to is `I915_FORMAT_MOD_X_TILED` (see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/drm/drm_fourcc.h?h=v4.20.6#n263).
In order to fix this mismatch in modifier, I added the
`GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR` to the render surface and everything started to work
just fine. I wondered however, whether the export and import is really
necessary. I then decided to test if the back buffer of the render
surface works as well, and at least on my hardware (Intel HD 530 and
Intel UHD 620) it does. This is the patch in this PR and this requires
no exporting and importing.
I have to note that I cheated in order to import DMA_BUFs into a cursor
bo when doing the first tests, since on import the Intel drivers check
that the cursor is 64x64. This is strange since cursor sizes other than
64x64 have been around for quite some time now
(https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-commit/2014-June/050268.html).
Removing this check made everything work fine. I later (while writing
this PR) found out that `__DRI_IMAGE_USE_CURSOR` (to which
`GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR` translates) has been deprecated in mesa
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/blob/master/include/GL/internal/dri_interface.h#L1296),
which makes me wonder what the usecase of `GBM_BO_USE_CURSOR` is. The
reason we never encountered this is that when specifying
`GBM_BO_USE_WRITE`, a dumb buffer is created trough DRM and the usage
flag never reaches the Intel driver directly. The relevant code is in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/blob/master/src/gbm/backends/dri/gbm_dri.c#L1011-1089
. From this it seems that as long as the size, format and modifiers are
right, any surface can be used as a cursor.
We create the EGL config with GBM_FORMAT_ARGB8888, but then initialize GBM BOs
with GBM_FORMAT_XRGB8888. This mismatch confuses Mesa.
Instead, we can always use GBM_FORMAT_ARGB8888, and use DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888
when calling drmModeAddFB2.

Frame events group logically connected pointer events. It makes sense to make
the backend responsible for sending frame events, since once the events are
split (ie. once the frame events are stripped) it's not easy to figure out
which events belongs to which frame again.
This is also how Weston handles frame events.

This makes compositors able to block and/or customize set_selection requests
coming from clients. For instance, it's possible for a compositor to disable
rich selection content (by removing all MIME types except text/plain). This
commit implements the design proposed in [1].
Two new events are added to wlr_seat: request_set_selection and
request_set_primary_selection. Compositors need to listen to these events and
either destroy the source or effectively set the selection.

The noop backend is similar to headless, but it doesn't contain a
renderer. It can be used as a place to stash views for when there's no
physical outputs connected.
In particular, modified public creator and destructor function names,
added a display destroy listener, safely extract user data from
resources, send correct time (in usecs) in rootston, etc.
