The metacity theme format allows to use colors from the current
GTK+ theme in window decorations. Since GTK+ now gained support
for dark theme variants, window managers using that theme format
(metacity, mutter, compiz via gtk-window-decorator) should be able
to use colors from the correct variant; so in case a variant is
requested, export it in the _GTK_THEME_VARIANT property on
toplevel windows.

gtk_entry_set_placeholder_text() makes the entry display the given text
when it is empty and unfocused. Based on previous patch by Alberto
Garcia.

GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS was a way to keep some old apps running that did weird
things in gtk2. We should not have to carry this forwards in gtk 3.x.
We do however keep a g_warning() call reminding people of this fact to
ease debugging when they try to port their applications.

Now that a single shared object can contain multiple backends we also
need to provide a simple way for third party code to verify that the
copy of GDK they are linking to supports their backend.
The simplest way to verify is an m4 macro, GTK_CHECK_BACKEND(), shipped
with the gtk+ m4 macros.
The usage is pretty basic:
GTK_CHECK_BACKEND([x11], [gtk_has_x11=yes], [gtk_has_x11=no])
AM_CONDITIONAL(BUILD_X11_CODE, test "x$gtk_has_x11" = "xno")

At the same time, change the library sonames for -3.0 to just -3.
This is necessary since the 2.99 releases installed libraries like
libgtk-3.0.so.0.9903.0, and we want to prevent the library version
number from jumping back. So 3.0 will have libgtk-3.so.0.0.0.
The previous function gdk_drag_get_protocol_for_display() took native
window handles, so it had to be changed. Because it didn't do what it
was named to do (it didn't return a protocol even though it was named
get_protocol) and because it doesn't operate on the display anymore but
on the actual window, it's now called gdk_window_get_drag_protocol().
... and all APIs making use of it.
That code like it hasn't been touched in years, Google codesearch
didn't find any users and most importantly it's a horrendous API, so
let's just make it die instead of having to port it over to
non-GdkNativeWindow usage, which would be required for multi-backend
GDK.
