We're not currently using this, and dropping it allows us to loose
a bunch of code which leads us towards the goal of having GdkWindow
only for toplevels (and reparenting makes not sense for toplevels).
We can't really support these on e.g. wayland anyway, and we're trying
to get rid of subwindow at totally in the long term, so lets drop this.
It allows us to drop a lot of complexity.
Instead, complain if somebody calls gdk_x11_window_get_xid() on a
non-native window.
We cannot make random windows native anymore because there's no GSK
renderer associated with them, so we cannot draw them.
gdk_window_create_vulkan_context() now exists and will return a Vulkan
context for the given window. It even initializes the surface. But it
doesn't do anything useful yet.
Adds the gdk_display_ref_vulkan() and gdk_display_unref_vulkan()
functions which setup/tear down VUlkan support for the display.
Nothing is using those functions yet.
This is a way to query the damaged area of the backbuffer.
The GL renderer uses this to compute the extents of that damage region
(computed via buffer age) and use them to minimize the area to redraw.
This changes the semantics of GL rendering to "When calling
gdk_window_begin_frame() with a GL context, the area by
gdk_gl_context_get_damage() needs to be redrawn and every other pixel of
the backbuffer is guaranteed to be correct.
After gdk_window_end_frame() on a GL-drawn window, the whole backbuffer
must be correct.
We can always glXBufferSwap() now because of this.
... instead of a gl context.
This requires some refactoring in the way we mark the shared context as
drawing: We now call begin_frame/end_frame() on it and ignore the call
on the main context.
Unfortunately we need to do this check in all vfuncs, which sucks. But I
haven't found a better way.
This way, we can query the GL context's state via
gdk_gl_context_is_drawing().
Use this function to make GL contexts as attached and grant them access
to the front/backbuffer for rendering.
All of this is still unused because GL drawing is still disabled.
No visible changes as GL rendering is disabled at the moment.
What was done:
1. Move window->invalidate_for_new_frame to glcontext->begin_frame
This moves the code to where it is used (the GLContext) and prepares it
for being called where it is used when actually beginning to draw the
frame.
2. Get rid of buffer-age usage
We want to let the application render directly to the backbuffer.
Because of that, we cannot make any assumptions about the contents the
application renders outside the clip area.
In particular GskGLRenderer renders random stuff there but not actual
contents.
3. Pass the actual GL context
Previously, we passed the shared context to end_frame, now we pass the
actual GL context that the application uses for rendering. This is so
that the vfuncs could prepare the actual contexts for rendering (they
don't currently).
4. Simplify the code
The previous code set up the final drawing method in begin_frame.
Instead, we now just ensure the clip area is something we can render
and decide on the actual method in end_frame.
This is both more robust (we can change the clip area in between if we
want to) and less code.
This way we can recommend that applications use the
fullscreen_on_monitor() API on both X and Wayland otherwise they'd
have to keep a path for each backend to achieve this functionality.

Switch code to use gdk_display_is_composited() instead.
The new code also doesn't use a vfunc to query the property but rather
requires the backend to call set_composited()/set_rgba() to change the
value.
These complicate a lot of GdkWindow internals to implement features
that not a lot of apps use, and will be better achieved using gsk.
So, we just drop it all.
And with it, gtk_widget_get_visual() and gtk_widget_set_visual() are
gone.
We now always use the RGBA visual (if available) and otherwise fall back
to the system visual.
