Add private API to construct events. This is a step towards
making events readonly, and not objects anymore.
The constructors here are sufficient to convert the Wayland
backend over. More may be added for other backends as needed.
Open issues:
- history
Don't store coordinates as shorts. Use doubles,
as everywhere else. Also add x, y in addition
to x_root, y_root, and actually return those
in gdk_event_get_coords.
Setting it as qdata on the object doesn't save any memory since we use
the user_data as the event target, which every event has set these days.
This way is also faster since just reffing the object doesn't do any
locking.
The previous attempt at removing configure events entirely
was causing some dialogs not to show up under Wayland.
Presumably due to ordering issues with emitting ::size-change
out of the backend.
Instead, keep configure events in the event queue, but handle
them on the gdk side. This keeps the ordering intact, while
still removing configure events from the api. The dialogs
show up now.
Rename gdkdnd.h to gdkdrag.h, to go along with gdkdrop.h
This commit includes the necessary updates to the X11, Wayland
and Broadway backends. Other backends have to be updated separately.
This is to go along with the newly introduced GdkDrop.

This renames the GdkWindow class and related classes (impl, backend
subclasses) to surface. Additionally it renames related types:
GdkWindowAttr, GdkWindowPaint, GdkWindowWindowClass, GdkWindowType,
GdkWindowTypeHint, GdkWindowHints, GdkWindowState, GdkWindowEdge
This is an automatic conversion using the below commands:
git sed -f g GdkWindowWindowClass GdkSurfaceSurfaceClass
git sed -f g GdkWindow GdkSurface
git sed -f g "gdk_window\([ _\(\),;]\|$\)" "gdk_surface\1" # Avoid hitting gdk_windowing
git sed -f g "GDK_WINDOW\([ _\(]\|$\)" "GDK_SURFACE\1" # Avoid hitting GDK_WINDOWING
git sed "GDK_\([A-Z]*\)IS_WINDOW\([_ (]\|$\)" "GDK_\1IS_SURFACE\2"
git sed GDK_TYPE_WINDOW GDK_TYPE_SURFACE
git sed -f g GdkPointerWindowInfo GdkPointerSurfaceInfo
git sed -f g "BROADWAY_WINDOW" "BROADWAY_SURFACE"
git sed -f g "broadway_window" "broadway_surface"
git sed -f g "BroadwayWindow" "BroadwaySurface"
git sed -f g "WAYLAND_WINDOW" "WAYLAND_SURFACE"
git sed -f g "wayland_window" "wayland_surface"
git sed -f g "WaylandWindow" "WaylandSurface"
git sed -f g "X11_WINDOW" "X11_SURFACE"
git sed -f g "x11_window" "x11_surface"
git sed -f g "X11Window" "X11Surface"
git sed -f g "WIN32_WINDOW" "WIN32_SURFACE"
git sed -f g "win32_window" "win32_surface"
git sed -f g "Win32Window" "Win32Surface"
git sed -f g "QUARTZ_WINDOW" "QUARTZ_SURFACE"
git sed -f g "quartz_window" "quartz_surface"
git sed -f g "QuartzWindow" "QuartzSurface"

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.
In the motion compression phase the coalesced events will be saved
as a GdkTimeCoord on the motion event that shall be delivered.
For simplicity (and because history doesn't make much sense otherwise)
event history is only recorded while there are buttons pressed, this
also tidily ensures that those coalesced events would have the same
target widget on the gtk side than the delivered one, because of
implicit grabs.
Two warts remain. gdk_event_copy() should be unnecessary as
events should be considered static after delivery, so g_object_ref()
should be just as good. There's a few exceptional cases that the event
is copied and then modifier for later processing, those cases should be
reconsidered individually.
And gdk_event_free() could be likewise turned into g_object_unref(),
many callers remain though.
Now all events structs are private, it doesn't make as much sense
having GdkEventPrivate wrapping allocating events. This is a first
step towards removing it.
It won't stand true anymore that the GdkEventType argument is the
first field of the GdkEvent* structs. All callers have been updated
to use event->any.type instead.
We are not emitting these events anymore, so lets remove them
from the api. The GdkSettingAction enum is moved to xsettings-client.c
where its only use remains.
This patch makes that work using 1 of 2 options:
1. Add all missing enums to the switch statement
or
2. Cast the switch argument to a uint to avoid having to do that (mostly
for GdkEventType).
I even found a bug while doing that: clearing a GtkImage with a surface
did not notify thae surface property.
The reason for enabling this flag even though it is tedious at times is
that it is very useful when adding values to an enum, because it makes
GTK immediately warn about all the switch statements where this enum is
relevant.
And I expect changes to enums to be frequent during the GTK4 development
cycle.
Those should be interpreted by widget-local gestures, not guessed at a
high level with no notions of the specific context. Users will want
GtkGestureMultiPress to replace these events.
As event->any.window is the toplevel, this is not useful anymore to
determine the window/widget that is the target for this event. Add
helper functions to attach user data to GdkEvents so the target
widget can be stored on the gtk/ side.
These calls should be made private with the rest of GdkEvent related
API.
