The purpose of this argument is to hold timestamp information about
events that occurred on the GPU. This argument allows us to include GPU
timestamps in timepoints such as the beginning and end of frame
rendering.

This clarifies what is supposed to be the libweston code.
v2: screen-share.c is already in compositor/ instead.

[Pekka: rebased]
Logging is activated and deactivated with the debug key binding 't'.
When activated, it creates a new log file, where it records the events.
The log file contains events and detailed object information entries in
JSON format, and is meant to be parsed in sequence from beginning to the
end.
The emitted events are mostly related to the output repaint cycle, like
when repaint begins, is submitted to GPU, and when it completes on a
vblank. This is recorded per-output. Also some per-surface events are
recorded, including when surface damage is flushed.
To reduce the log size, events refer to objects like outputs and
surfaces by id numbers. Detailed object information is emitted only as
needed: on the first object occurrence, and afterwards only if
weston_timeline_object::force_refresh asks for it.
The detailed information for surfaces includes the string returned by
weston_surface::get_label. Therefore it is important to set
weston_timeline_object::force_refresh = 1 whenever the string would
change, so that the new details get recorded.
A rudimentary parser and SVG generator can be found at:
https://github.com/ppaalanen/wesgr
The timeline logs can answer questions including:
- How does the compositor repaint cycle work timing-wise?
- When was the vblank deadline missed?
- What is the latency from surface commit to showing the new content on
screen?
- How long does it take to process the scenegraph?
v2: weston_surface::get_description renamed to get_label.
v3: reafctor a bit into fprint_quoted_string().

Instead of connecting to weston-launch from launcher-util, we now try to
connect to logind first. If logind provides session-devices, we use them.
If not, we fall back to the old weston-launch facility.
If you request a device via weston_launcher_open(), you should now release
it via weston_launcher_close() instead of close(). This is currently not
needed but will be required for logind devices.
This is only available when running weston directly as root typically for
ssh logins. It's a somewhat destructive option, as it will take over any
existing VT completely, unless there's already an display server running
there.

The struct weston_launcher object will now either handle tty and vt switching
details in-process (when running weston directly as root) or talk to
the weston-launch process.
config.h includes were missing in a few files, including input.c, the
lack of which caused the X11 backend to segfault instantly due to not
having an xkbcommon context.

weston-launch starts weston and provides mechanism
for weston to set/drop drm master, open a tty,
and read input devices without being root.
Execution is allowed for local-active sessions
or users in the group weston-launch.
This rename addresses a few problems around the split between core
Wayland and the wayland-demos repository.
1) Initially, we had one big repository with protocol code, sample
compositor and sample clients. We split that repository to make it
possible to implement the protocol without pulling in the sample/demo
code. At this point, the compositor is more than just a "demo" and
wayland-demos doesn't send the right message. The sample compositor
is a useful, self-contained project in it's own right, and we want to
move away from the "demos" label.
2) Another problem is that the wayland-demos compositor is often
called "the wayland compsitor", but it's really just one possible
compositor. Existing X11 compositors are expected to add Wayland
support and then gradually phase out/modularize the X11 support, for
example. Conversely, it's hard to talk about the wayland-demos
compositor specifically as opposed to, eg, the wayland protocol or a
wayland compositor in general.
We are also renaming the repo to weston, and the compositor
subdirectory to src/, to emphasize that the main "output" is the
compositor.
Besides the new header file, there's also a change in the main evdev creation
procedure for a more suggestive name (evdev_input_add_devices ->
evdev_input_create). There's no real functional changes in this commit.
