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.

The ICCCM says:
If the specified property is None, the requestor is an obsolete client.
Owners are encouraged to support these clients by using the specified
target atom as the property name to be used for the reply.
Lets do that, instead of crashing.

Keep track of the exact size of X windows in underlying pixels; we
generally use the scaled size instead, but to properly handle the GL
viewport for windows that aren't a multiple of window_scale,
we need to know the real size.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739750
Although we specify a resize increment to try and get a size that is
a multiple of the window scale, maximization typically wins
over the resize increment, so the window might be odd sized.
Round *up* in this case, rather than down, since it's better to
truncate a line or two at the bottom and right of the window rather
than have a line or two that we don't know what to do with.

To properly support multithreaded use we use a global GPrivate
to track the current context. Since we also don't need to track
the current context on the display we move gdk_display_destroy_gl_context
to GdkGLContext::discard.
This adds the new type GdkGLContext that wraps an OpenGL context for a
particular native window. It also adds support for the gdk paint
machinery to use OpenGL to draw everything. As soon as anyone creates
a GL context for a native window we create a "paint context" for that
GdkWindow and switch to using GL for painting it.
This commit contains only an implementation for X11 (using GLX).
The way painting works is that all client gl contexts draw into
offscreen buffers rather than directly to the back buffer, and the
way something gets onto the window is by using gdk_cairo_draw_from_gl()
to draw part of that buffer onto the draw cairo context.
As a fallback (if we're doing redirected drawing or some effect like a
cairo_push_group()) we read back the gl buffer into memory and composite
using cairo. This means that GL rendering works in all cases, including
rendering to a PDF. However, this is not particularly fast.
In the *typical* case, where we're drawing directly to the window in
the regular paint loop we hit the fast path. The fast path uses opengl
to draw the buffer to the window back buffer, either by blitting or
texturing. Then we track the region that was drawn, and when the draw
ends we paint the normal cairo surface to the window (using
texture-from-pixmap in the X11 case, or texture from cairo image
otherwise) in the regions where there is no gl painted.
There are some complexities wrt layering of gl and cairo areas though:
* We track via gdk_window_mark_paint_from_clip() whenever gtk is
painting over a region we previously rendered with opengl
(flushed_region). This area (needs_blend_region) is blended
rather than copied at the end of the frame.
* If we're drawing a gl texture with alpha we first copy the current
cairo_surface inside the target region to the back buffer before
we blend over it.
These two operations allow us full stacking of transparent gl and cairo
regions.
We have a hack in the XSETTINGS code to substitute gtk-xft-dpi
with gdk-unscaled-dpi unless the screen has a fixed window scale,
in which case we just use gtk-xft-dpi.
But if the screen is changed to have a fixed window scale, then
the substituted value of gdk-unscaled-dpi will stick around until
the next (coincidental) change to XSETTINGS. To fix this, force
an immediate reread of the XSETTINGS property when
gdk_x11_display_set_window_scale() is used.

Pass the master device instead if the last slave is NULL. This is
unlikely to happen in most of the cases, but can happen when running
unit tests where there's no pointer interaction to update the last
slave.

This lets you force a specific window scale, this is needed
for mutter to be able to disable the scaling as it needs access
to unmangled X window/screen sizes. It can also be useful to
force a specific scale in e.g. tests.
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 it from GdkDisplayManagerX11.init to GdkDisplay.class_init.
This shouldn't cause any problems, but who knows, so keep this patch
small.
Reason for this is the unification of display managers.
* remove gdk_frame_clock_get_frame_time_val(); a convenience
function that would rarely be used.
* remove gdk_frame_clock_get_requested() and
::frame-requested signal; while we might want to eventually
be able to track the requested phases for a clock, we don't
have a current use case.
* Make gdk_frame_clock_freeze/thaw() private: they are only
used within GTK+ and have complex semantics.
* Remove gdk_frame_clock_get_last_complete(). Another convenience
function that I don't have a current use case for.
* Rename:
gdk_frame_clock_get_start() => gdk_frame_clock_get_history_start()
gdk_frame_clocK_get_current_frame_timings() => gdk_frame_clock_get_timings()
Since we're not exporting the ability to create your own frame
clock for now, remove the setters for GdkFrameTimings fields.
Also remove all setters and getters for fields that are more
about implementation than about quantities that are meaningful
to the applcation and just access the fields directly within
GDK.
Now that GdkFrameClock is a class, not interface, there's no real advantage
to splitting the frame history into an aggregate object, so directly
merge it into GdkFrameClock.
For an operation like synchronizing audio to video playback, we need to
be able to predict the time that a frame will be presented. The details
of this depend on the windowing system, so make the backend predict
a presentation time for ::begin-frame and set it on the GdkFrameTimings.
The timing algorithm of GdkFrameClockIdle is adjusted to give predictable
presentation times for frames that are not throttled by the windowing
system.
Helper functions:
gdk_frame_clock_get_current_frame_timings()
gdk_frame_clock_get_refresh_info()
are added for operations that would otherwise be needed multiple times
in different locations.

In order to be able to track statistics about how well we are drawing,
and in order to be able to do sophisticated things with frame timing
like predicting per-frame latencies and synchronizing audio with video,
we need to be able to track exactly when previous frames were drawn
to the screen.
Information about each frame is stored in a new GdkFrameTimings object.
A new GdkFrameHistory object is added which keeps a queue of recent
GdkFrameTimings (this is added to avoid further complicating the
implementation of GdkFrameClock.)

When a window is unmapped, freeze its frame clock. This avoids doing
unnecessary work, but also means that we won't block waiting for
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN messages that will never be received since the
frame ended while the window was withdrawn.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685460
As part of the extended _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST_COUNTER protocol,
we get a _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN message for each frame we draw. Use this
to synchronize the updates we are doing with the compositing manager's
drawing, and ultimately with with display refresh.
We now set the sync request counters on all windows, including
override-redirect windows, since it is also useful to do synchronized,
atomic updates for such windows.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685460
By exporting two XSync counters on a toplevel window, we subscribe
to an extended form of the _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST_COUNTER protocol,
where the window manager can initiate an atomic frame, as previously,
but the application can also do so by incrementing the new counter to
an odd value, and then to an even value to finish the frame.

The support for 64-bit integers that GLib requires is used to
simplify the logic.

We may receive events because SubstructureNotifyMask has been selected
for the root window. (Most likely, this would occur because GTK+
is being used inside a window manager like Metacity or Mutter.)
This can confuse various types of internal accounting, so detect
such events and comprehensively ignore them for GDK's internal
purposes. We still need to generate GDK events for these cases
because you can select for substructure events with
GDK_SUBSTRUCTURE_MASK.
