Add optional drop-shadows to windows using server-side decoration.
Shadows can be enabled/disabled rc.xml and their appearance configured
in themerc. The default is no shadows to preserve current behaviour.
The shadows are drawn in fixed corner and edge buffers shared between
all windows, the edges are scaled to size depending on the size of each
window. Two sets of buffers are used to give the different appearances
for active and inactive windows. I use separate corner/edge buffers for
a few reasons:
- It avoids needing to store a separate large shadow buffer per window
- It avoids needing to redraw the shadows when the window is being
resized
- Compositing the shadows onto the desktop should be faster as there are
overall fewer pixels to blend, and scaling up the edge buffers only
requires reading a tiny buffer which is then replicated.
Filled/outlined rectangles shown as snapping overlay are now enabled/disabled
independently with `snapping.overlay.[region|edge].bg.enabled` and
`snapping.overlay.[region|edge].border.enabled`.
To keep the default behavior, `*.bg.enabled` is yes and `*.border.enabled` is
no for hardware-based renderers, while `*.bg.enabled` is no and
`*.border.enabled` is yes for software-based (pixman) renderer.
Users can now use a filled rectangle as an overlay even with pixman renderer.
However, this may severely impact performance when used with translucent
`snapping.overlay.[region|edge].bg.color`.
This commit includes a refactor to use substruct `theme_snapping_overlay`
inside `theme` in order to pass it to `create_overlay_rect()` in a cleaner way.
Breaking changes is:
- `snapping.overlay.[region|edge].fill` is now removed.
Replace "preview" in rc.xml and themerc with "overlay" since "preview" sounds
like it shows the window content.
Breaking changes are:
- `snapping.preview.*` in themerc is now replaced with `snapping.overlay`.
- `<snapping><preview>` in rc.xml is now replaced with `<snapping><overlay>`.
This allows to ignore X11 client side configure requests
like positioning and resizing and can be used to fight
some X11 applications that persist to have their windows
spawn at specific places and sizes.

...to start <command> on startup and to terminate the compositor when
<command> exits.
This is useful for session management as it allows the session client (for
example `lxqt-session`) to terminate labwc - be exiting itself.
Under X, xinit starts the server and keeps it alive for as long as
lxqt-session runs. Thus either the session client starts the Window
Manager, or the Window Manager can be launched independently first. On
Wayland, the Compositor is both Display Server and Window Manager, so the
described session management mechanisms do not work because the Compositor
needs to be running before the session can function.
As some session clients support both X11 and Wayland, this command line
option avoids re-writes and fragmentation.

Add custom field with subset of printf style formatting
to replace the original field formats.
Example:
<windowSwitcher preview="no" outlines="no" allWorkspaces="yes">
<fields>
<field content="custom" format="foobar %b %3s %-10o %-20W %-10i%t" width="100%" />
</fields>
</windowSwitcher>
Mono space font recommended. May need OSD width adjusted
Co-authored-by: @Consolatis (based on work done by them)
Add ability to set width with percentage of monitor instead of just pixels.
With this the OSD sizes itself properly on both my 4k and 2k monitors.
example: 50% or 75% instead of 600, max 100%
...and unify region overlay and snap-to-edge overlay into overlay.c.
Snap-to-edge overlay is delayed for 500ms to prevent flickering when
the view is dragged from an output to another (demo in discussion labwc#1613).
This also fixes a bug that region overlay is not shown when a modifier
key is re-pressed.
1. All '*.env' files in an 'environment.d' directory alongside each
potential 'environment' file will be parsed and added to the
environment.
2. For the purposes of configuration merging, an environment definition
exists at one level if either the 'environment' file is defined or
its corresponding 'environment.d' contains any valid '*.env' file.
3. Variable declarations of the form "VARIABLE=", with no following
value, will be written to the environment as empty strings.
This allows configuring a headless fallback output that
is automatically created whenever there is no other output
around. It is destroyed when a new output is discovered.
It can be enabled by setting the environment variable
LABWC_FALLBACK_OUTPUT to the desired output name.
The feature benefits applications like wayvnc the most
as there is always an output available to connect to.

We were using the argument name 'name' before
which is already used by the action itself:
`<action name="MoveToOutput" name="HDMI-A-1" />`
Change the argument name to "output" which also
matches the `FocusOutput` action.
Fixes: #1589

Also share common config option (rc.window_switcher.criteria) in osd.c and
desktop.c to make sure the window lists are always consistent.
Configure with `<windowSwitcher allWorkspaces="yes|no">`
Support `wrap` in view_get_adjacent_output(). This means that when seeking
an adjacent output in a particular direction from an output that is
already furthest in that direction within the layout, rather than
returning NULL, wrap around from the leftmost to the rightmost, or topmost
to the bottommost and vice versa.
Example usage:
<action name="MoveToOutput" direction="right" wrap="yes" />
Wrap is disabled by default to keep the user interface consistent.
Some distro packages install the example config at /etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml
and thus users of those packages were having a gap 10 setting by default.
Lets remove the gap from the example config to match our intended default.
A .desktop file was previously added for the labwc session, this adds a
badge for it where it is supported. The .desktop files and the badges
are also moved to `data/`.
