Without selections, drags can't have them either.
Also included is removing the selection from GtkSelectionData.
Includes a bunch of crude cleanups to Wayland code that no longer has to
care about selection atoms.
Instead of just passing the GdkContentFormats, we are now passing the
GdkContentProvider to gdk_drag_begin().
This means that GDK itself can now query the data from the provider
directly instead of having to send selection events.
Use this to provide the private API gdk_drag_context_write() that allows
backends to pass an output stream that this data will be written to.
Implement this as the mechanism for providing drag data on Wayland.
And to make this all work, implement a content provider named
GtkDragContent that is implemented by reverting to the old DND
drag-data-get machinery inside GTK, so for widgets everything works just
like before.
Instead, pass the actions as part of gdk_drag_begin() and insist DND is
always managed.
A new side effect is that gdk_drag_begin() can now return %NULL.
This is the replacement for selection usage.
Backend implementations for X11 (missing support for backwards compat
formats like COMPOUND_TEXT) and Wayland are included.
GTK code should be adapted to use gdk_drop_read_*() functions instead
of gtk_drag_get_data().
Drop the screen argument from gdk_dnd_find_window_for_screen
and rename the function to gdk_dnd_find_window. The screen
argument does not add anything here since the drag context
is already tied to the display. Update all backends, and
update all callers.
Always associate a drag context with a GdkDisplay and use that when
getting a cursor for a given action.
If we don't do this, dragging on a window that doesn't use the default
display will make us use cursors from the wrong display.

The way gdk_drag_status() may be called multiple times during the
processing of drag and drop events throughout the widget hierarchy
brings some superfluous messaging going in, esp. when it's the last
request the one we want to honor, yet we emit messaging requests on
all.
This is barely appreciable in the X11 backend, but due to the design
of the wayland protocol, quick series of changes like this it have
some self-amplificating consequences which may end up flooding the
connection.
We can delegate this to a late "commit" call, performed within GDK
event management. This way gdk_drag_status() calls may be cached
and only result in windowing messaging once per ::drag-motion or
::drag-data-received event. Emitting the final status will also
avoid spurious action changes on the compositor and the other peer.

That way we can let ::cancel callers to override the visual
result of the operation (eg. when detaching notebook tabs on
NO_TARGET).
Also, document gdk_drag_drop_done() so it is mentioned that
this is a one-shot call.

We should conform to a minimal set of reasons for the gtk side to emit
a better GtkDragResult than GTK_DRAG_RESULT_ERROR. This fixes the notebook
tab DnD feature, where we rely on GTK_DRAG_RESULT_NO_TARGET.
In the wayland side, unfortunately we can't honor either NO_TARGET nor
USER_CANCELLED, we don't know of the latter, so we could return false
positives on the former.

This function (most similar to gtk_drag_get_cursor() helps figure out
the right cursor that applies to a given action. To be used by the
various backends.
We've traditionally left GTK+ to handle the input side of things,
letting GDK only manage the windowing-specific messaging. This
way of splitting responsibilities is not compatible however with
some backends, we must fold then input management at the DnD stage
into GDK (and backends) domain.
The gdk_drag_context_manage_dnd() call is meant to be the entry
point for this mode of operation, if the drag and drop operation
becomes managed, the caller (i.e. gtkdnd.c) doesn't need to perform
grabs, nor manage input events itself.
As a consequence of this, different aspects now belong to the
backend GdkDragContext implementation:
- Because the caller doesn't see keyboard events anymore,
keyboard navigation must be managed in GDK, so is the decision
of the current action based on modifiers/button pressed.
- Because the caller won't see input events in general, the lifetime
of the drag and drop operation is now communicated through the
::drop-performed, ::dnd-finished and ::cancel events
- Because the caller doesn't participate anymore on the action
being chosen, the pointer cursor must be set by the backend.
The caller is rather notified of the final action through the
::action signal.
The caller is still responsible of dealing with the corresponding
GdkSelection, ensuring its ownership and communicating the supported
mimetypes.
