Previously, it was impossible to override the fade in/out behavior of
Weston using a different shell, since this was implemented in core
Weston. This also led to complicated interaction between the shell and
the core when displaying lock surfaces and screensavers.
This patch starts to solve this issue by moving the fade animation out
of the core. On compositor.c, besides deleting the fade code, the idle
handler had to be changed to emit the lock signal, since it was called
from the fade_frame() function before. This causes a slight change of
behavior, since before the fade would happen with the compositor being
active, while now it is already in the idle state. That leads to the
dpms state being set when cancelling the fade with mouse movement, and
in turn, to a slight freeze with drm compositor. This problem will be
fixed in a follow up patch.
On the shell side, the fade was re-implemented in a slightly different
manner. Instead of using a custom frame function, the fade animation
from animation.c is used. The interface for starting the fade was also
changed to take the value of an enum instead of a float alpha value,
in order to improve readability.
