The output feature flag has a flaw: it's not possible to check
whether the backend supports timelines during compositor
initialization when we need to figure out whether we want to enable
the linux-drm-syncobj-v1 protocol.
Introduce a backend-wide feature flag to indicate support for
timelines to address this defect.

This makes it easy for compositors to handle situations where the
DRM or libinput backend becomes unavailable. Compositors can listen
the destroy event of the multi backend returned by
wlr_backend_autocreate() and decide what to do.
We can just assume CLOCK_MONOTONIC everywhere.
Simplifies the backend API, and fixes clock mismatches when multiple
backends are used together with different clocks.
Up until now, wlr_backend_autocreate() created the wlr_session and
then stuffed it into struct wlr_multi_backend so that compositors
can grab it later.
This is an abuse of wlr_multi_backend and the wlr_backend API:
wlr_backend_get_session() and wlr_multi_backend.session only exist
to accomodate the needs of wlr_backend_autocreate(). What's more,
the DRM and libinput backends don't implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_session.
Instead, return the struct wlr_session to the compositor in the
wlr_backend_autocreate() call. wlr_backend_get_session() will be
removed in the next commit.
The get_drm_fd was made available in an internal header with a53ab146f. Move it
now to the public header so consumers opting in to the unstable interfaces can
make use of it.
This callback allowed compositors to customize the EGL config used by
the renderer. However with renderer v6 EGL configs aren't used anymore.
Instead, buffers are allocated via GBM and GL FBOs are rendered to. So
customizing the EGL config is a no-op.
The documentation for wayland-server.h says:
> Use of this header file is discouraged. Prefer including
> wayland-server-core.h instead, which does not include the server protocol
> header and as such only defines the library PI, excluding the deprecated API
> below.
Replacing wayland-server.h with wayland-server-core.h allows us to drop the
WL_HIDE_DEPRECATED declaration.
Sessions can now be retrieved from a backend in a more general manner.
Multi-backend gets back its `session` field that contains the session
if one was created, removing the interfacing from multi backend with the
drm backend directly. This adds the possibility to use sessions even
without the drm backend.
It additionally fixes the bug that 2 session objects got created when
WLR_BACKENDS were set to "libinput,drm".
To allow vt switching without drm backend (and drm fd) on logind, start
listening to PropertiesChanged signals from dbus and parse the session
"Active" property when no master fd was created (this does not change
current drm backend behaviour in any way).
This introduces -DWLR_USE_UNSTABLE and adds information regarding the
stability status to all headers. I started with a conservative set of
headers to mark as stable:
- types/wlr_matrix.h
- util/edges.h
- util/log.h
- util/region.h
- xcursor.h
Compositors now have more control over how the backend creates its
renderer. Currently all backends create an EGL/GLES2 renderer, so
the necessary attributes for creating the context are passed to a
user-provided callback function. It is responsible for initializing
provided wlr_egl and to return a renderer. On fail, return 0.
Fixes#987
This backports some changes to #319 to fix the screenshooter data
format. This also adds wlr_backend_get_renderer which will be
useful to support multiple renderers.
