- 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.
This is based on previous work [1] [2].
This new API allows compositors to display buffers without needing to
perform rendering operations. This API can be implemented on Wayland
using subsurfaces and on DRM using KMS planes.
Compared to [1], this approach leverages wlr_addon_set to let backends
attach their own private state to layers, removes the pending
state (necessary for interop with wlr_output_commit_state()) and
enum wlr_output_layer_state_field.

The backend no longer changes the output state behind the
compositor's back. Instead, compositors can listen to the "commit"
event and check for WLR_OUTPUT_STATE_ENABLED/WLR_OUTPUT_STATE_MODE.

If a fixed mode matching the user requirements is available, use
that. This avoids generating the mode with GTF or CVT in the DRM
backend, and instead uses mode timings advertised by the output.

In wlr_output_attach_render(), stop setting
wlr_output.pending.buffer. This removes one footgun: using the
wlr_buffer at that stage is invalid, because rendering operations
haven't been flushed to the GPU yet. We need to wait until
output_clear_back_buffer() for the wlr_buffer to be used safely.
Instead, set wlr_output.pending.buffer in wlr_output_test() and
wlr_output_commit().
Additionally, move the output_clear_back_buffer() from
wlr_output_commit_state() to wlr_output_commit(). This reduces the
number of calls in the failure path.
We can just use pending.buffer instead. It's completely fine to
call wlr_swapchain_set_buffer_submitted() with a buffer which
doesn't come from the swapchain, in which case it's a no-op.
This is documented to reset the gamma LUT, but we don't handle this
properly.
While at it, make sure we leave wlr_output.pending in a good state
on allocation failure.
When using direct scanout back_buffer is NULL. We'd emit a commit
event with WLR_OUTPUT_STATE_BUFFER set but with a NULL buffer field,
which is non-sensical.
Before calling wlr_output_impl.{test,commit}, perform a cheap
comparison between the current and candidate state. Unset any
fields which didn't change.
This refactors output_ensure_buffer() to not mutate the state passed,
making the previous subtle behavior much more explicit.

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.
When calling wlr_output_test an empty buffer might be created. This implicitly
changes the pending state of the output. Ensure that such a change is only
temporarily and clear such an empty buffer before returning the test result.
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.
This allows output commit listeners to access the newly committed
buffer. Currently wlr_output.front_buffer is used but it'll get
removed in the next commit.
This allows compositors to get primary formats without manually
calling wlr_output_impl.get_primary_formats.
For example, the Sway patch for linux-dmabuf feedback [1] needs
this.

This change introduces new double buffered state to the wlr_output,
corresponding to the buffer format to render to.
The format being rendered to does not control the bit depth of colors
being sent to the display; it does generally determine the format with
which screenshot data is provided. The DRM backend _may_ sent higher
bit depths if the render format depth is increased, but hardware and
other limitations may apply.
Variables on the stack are released when the parent block is closed.
Here, `now` is used outside of the `if` block, causing the following
crash when starting Sway with the headless backend:
