This patch introduces support for using the newly introduced
monitor objects in the XRandR protocol. These objects are meant
to be used to denote a set of rectangles representing a logical
monitor, and are used to hide details like monitor tiling and
virtual gpu outputs.
This uses the new objects instead of crtc/outputs objects when
they are available to create the monitor lists. X server 1.18
is required on the server side for randr 1.5.

If we have a fullscreen window that covers a monitor, desktop
chrome is not relevant for placing of menus and other popups.
Therefore, return the full monitor geometry instead of the
workarea in this case.

fvwm seems to have problems keeping _NET_WORKAREA in sync with
the number of desktops. Instead of reading garbage, silently use
the full screen as workarea for desktops that are not covered
by the _NET_WORKAREA property.

This is so we always have the latest information given by XRandR (or other), and not
rely on Core protocol information that might not have been updated yet.
This is specially visible when a monitor is connected (less frequent) or disconnected
(much more frequent), callbacks on GdkScreen::monitors-changed that call
gdk_screen_get_width/height() could get the screen size previous to the monitor
rearrangement.
So in order to fix this, keep track of the latest monitors information, and calculate
the bounding box in order to know the screen size.

If you set GDK_SCALE=2 in the environment then all windows will be
scaled by 2. Its not an ideal solution as it doesn't handle
multi-monitors at different scales, and only affects gtk apps.
But it is a good starting points and will help a lot on HiDPI
laptops.
Move the call to gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display() outside of the
search loop in gdk_x11_screen_supports_net_wm_hint(). In my test case
(running Audacious for about a minute), this reduced the total number of
hash table lookups performed from 370,000 to 230,000.

Before acting on any hint that is set by the window manager we must
first check that the hint is supported by the current window manager.
Checking that a property has a value is insufficient as it may have
been set by a previous window manager which did support the hint.

The code for calculating the per-monitor workarea was ignoring
the fact that the EWMH workarea property can only handle rectangular
workareas, and thus can't really do justice to general monitor
arrangements. As a workaround, we ignore it for anything but
the primary monitor. And we ignore it for the primary monitor
as well if it does not even cover it.

Move g_return_if_fail() stuff from the backends to the public
functions in gdkscreen.c itself, and some fixes for ugly formatting in
the various gdkscreen-backend.c files.
"The child window MUST also have the _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK property set to
the ID of the child window. […] If the _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK window on the
client window is missing or not properly set, clients SHOULD assume that no
conforming Window Manager is present."
This commit implements that, which allows us to not have to do a
XGetWindowProperty() every N seconds when running under a compliant WM.
This is also a more correct fix for the bug handled in commit
daf29bffed.

The function returns the part of a monitors area that should be
used for positioning popups, menus, etc. The only non-trivial
implementation atm is in the X backend, all the other backends
just return the full monitor area. The X implementation is
currently suboptimal, since it requires roundtrips to collect
the necessary information. It should be changed to monitor
the properties for changes, when XFixes allows to monitor
individual properties.
