- Simplifies the backends
- Avoids having two ways to do the same thing: previously one could
disable a layer by either omitting it from wlr_output_state.layers,
or by passing a NULL buffer
- We can change our mind in the future: we can allow users to omit
some layers and define a meaning without breaking the API.

We've had this struct for a while. It'd be useful for compositors
if they want to manage the swap chains themselves instead of being
forced to use wlr_output's. Some compositors might also want to use
a swapchain without an output.
During a modeset, the core wlr_output logic will allocate a buffer
with a new size and commit it. However if we still have a frame
callback pending we'd refuse to perform the commit. This is
inconsistent with the DRM backend, which performs a blocking
modeset.
This is visible when resizing the Wayland toplevel. The logs are
filled with "Skipping buffer swap", and the wlr_damage_ring's
bounds are not properly updated.
Fix this by destroying the pending frame wl_callback.
destroy_wl_buffer() is called from backend_destroy(). We need to
ensure the wlr_buffer is unlocked when we're waiting for a
wl_buffer.release event from the parent compositor.
Adaptive sync is effectively always enabled when using the Wayland
backend. This is not something we have control over, so we set the
state to enabled on creating the output and never allow changing it.
This allows the make/model/serial to be NULL when unset, and allows
them to be longer than the hardcoded array length.
This is a breaking change: compositors need to handle the new NULL
case, and we stop setting make/model to useless "headless" or
"wayland" strings.
All the code logic related to the pointer has been moved to its own file.
The seat is responsible for the lifetime of its wlr_wl_pointer(s), and assigning
them to the relevant wlr_wl_output. The wlr_wl_pointer becomes a simple helper
to manager the wlr_pointer associated to the seat's wl_pointer and its lifetime.
wlroots picks names for all outputs, but it might be desirable for
compositor to override it.
For instance, Sway will use a headless output as a fallback in
case no outputs are connected. Sway wants to clearly label the
fallback output as such and label "real" headless outputs starting
from HEADLESS-1.
They are never used in practice, which makes all of our flag
handling effectively dead code. Also, APIs such as KMS don't
provide a good way to deal with the flags. Let's just fail the
DMA-BUF import when clients provide flags.
Custom backends and renderers need to implement
wlr_backend_impl.get_buffer_caps and
wlr_renderer_impl.get_render_buffer_caps. They can't if enum
wlr_buffer_cap isn't made public.
Right now, when a new output state field is added, all backends by
default won't reject it. This means we need to add new checks to
each and every backend when we introduce a new state field.
Instead, introduce a bitmask of supported output state fields in
each backend, and error out if the user has submitted an unknown
field.
Some fields don't need any backend involvment to work. These are
listed in WLR_OUTPUT_STATE_BACKEND_OPTIONAL as a convenience.
Instead of passing a wlr_texture to the backend, directly pass a
wlr_buffer. Use get_cursor_size and get_cursor_formats to create
a wlr_buffer that can be used as a cursor.
We don't want to pass a wlr_texture because we want to remove as
many rendering bits from the backend as possible.
Compute only the transform matrix in the output. The projection matrix
will be calculated inside the gles2 renderer when we start rendering.
The goal is to help the pixman rendering process.
It turns out wl_event_source_check is not enough to guarantee that the
remote wl_display will be flushed after we queue requests. We need to
explicitly flush, just like we do in our X11 code.

Instead of requiring callers to manually make the EGL context current
before binding a buffer and unsetting it after unbinding a buffer, do
it inside wlr_renderer_bind_buffer.
This hides renderer-specific implementation details inside the
wlr_renderer interface. Non-GLES2 renderers may not use EGL.
This removes all EGL dependencies from the backends.

- The DRM backend initially doesn't have a frame scheduled initially.
However the compositor is expected to set a mode to start the
rendering loop (frame_pending is set to true in drm_crtc_pageflip).
- The headless and X11 backends have a timer to schedule frames, so they
ignore this hint completely.
- The Wayland backend renders a fake frame to start the rendering loop.
It's the only case where a frame is pending on init, move the
assumption there.
