To build a better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.
-- Alexander Pierce, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"
ATK served us well for nearly 20 years, but the world has changed, and
GTK has changed with it. Now ATK is mostly a hindrance towards improving
the accessibility stack:
- it maps to a very specific implementation, AT-SPI, which is Linux and
Unix specific
- it requires implementing the same functionality in three different
layers of the stack: AT-SPI, ATK, and GTK
- only GTK uses it; every other Linux and Unix toolkit and application
talks to AT-SPI directly, including assistive technologies
Sadly, we cannot incrementally port GTK to a new accessibility stack;
since ATK insulates us entirely from the underlying implementation, we
cannot replace it piecemeal. Instead, we're going to remove everything
and then incrementally build on a clean slate:
- add an "accessible" interface, implemented by GTK objects directly,
which describe the accessible role and state changes for every UI
element
- add an "assistive technology context" to proxy a native accessibility
API, and assign it to every widget
- implement the AT context depending on the platform

If you run weston with the headless backend, you get a Wayland
display with no seat, which is just fine by the protocol.
gdk_display_get_default_seat() returns NULL in this case. Various
widgets assume that we always have a seat with a keyboard and a
pointer, since that is what X guarantees. Make things survive
without that, so we can run the testsuite under a headless
Wayland compositor.
1. Rename the thing
2. Turn it from a signal to a vfunc
3. Pass the GtkCssStyleChange to it
We don't export any public API about the GtkCssStyleChange yet, it's
just a boring opaque struct.
Replace uses of gtk_css_style_get_value with direct access,
throughout the tree. We don't replace all uses, just those
where we are dealing with a fixed property. Be careful to
handle the currentColor special case for color properties.
The reason for this is simply that I want to get hash functions that
have their values close together, so they can fit in a smaller range
(the goal here is 12 bits). By using GQuark, we get consecutive numbers
starting with 1 (and applications have <1000 quarks usually), whereas
interned strings can be all over the place.
As a side effect we also save 64 bytes per declaration.
This call is not necessary, because gtk_css_node_set_parent() does the
right thing. (It probably hasn't been necessary for years, but I'm
not gonna try my luck on GTK3 at this stage.)
This code is usually called the first time
gtk_widget_get_style_context() is called on a widget and its style
context gets create. At that point however, the css nodes are in the
right place already, so no invalidation should happen.
The differenciation between a literal color value and an RGBA value
caused problems in various situations. Just treat the two the same but
don't allow access to the rgba value of a non-literal color value.
This gets rid of around 1.6k rgba values in the widget-factory.
Signal names must start with a letter. They can’t start with a hyphen.
It was originally added in commit 74f4c6f6bd with no given reason
for why the signal name was chosen as it was.

If we set c_marshaller manually, then g_signal_newv() will not setup a
va_marshaller for us. However, if we provide c_marshaller as NULL, it will
setup both the c_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOID) and
va_marshaller (to g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__VOIDv) for us.
When the widget gets finalized it clears the widgetnode and gtk_css_widget_node_get_widget
returns NULL. Guard against gtk_css_widget_node_get_widget() returning NULL like in other
places.

Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
