This commit introduces a new kmscon_input_event structure which is
delivered to the input consumer. The information provided is
- The evdev scancode (=physical keyboard key).
- The X keysym (a symbol representing what the typist really intended).
- The active modifiers (e.g. Shift, Control..)
- The unicode (UCS-4) value, when it makes sense.
To achieve this we add two dependencies:
- libxkbcommon (this entails xproto and kbproto, but shouldn't bring any of
big X dependencies)
- A function to translate keysyms to unicode values (taken from xlib,
copied in-tree).
libxkbcommon is not an all-around solution, and requires various degrees
of supporting code, depending on how much we wish to support. This
commit implements the common, basic uses:
- Choosing layouts, variants and options
- Switching groups
- Switching shift-levels
- Setting modifiers
Though some stuff is missing. Further information in the comments.
test_input.c is updated to use the new input event interface. You can
change the layouts in input.c:init_input() and see what works and what
doesn't.

This is currently broken, anyway as we do not unref the object. However, if we
take a reference, then kmscon_input_unref() would never destroy the object as
there are still references. The caller would have to call kmscon_input_sleep()
first to have the desired effect.

We either need to adjust our filters to only receive inputX/eventY events or we
simply ignore all other events silently to avoid useless warnings.

It should:
- Capture your keypresses
- Announce when a device is added or removed (with --enable-debug)
- stop/start capturing on SIGQUIT (Ctrl-\)

The diff may look a bit wild but this mostly fixes coding style issues:
- sort includes alphabetically
- add missing includes
- rearrange structures/functions to avoid forward declarations
- adding "data" user-defineable field to input structure (for callbacks)
- correctly handle errors in device_data_arrived
- remove device_added/device_removed
- merge input_init into constructor
- add some log messages for debugging
- remove devices when wake-up fails
- set cb/data fields on eloop connection, not on initialization
- remove all devices when disconnecting eloop so the eloop is guaranteed to be
not used by the input subsystem after disconnection.
- some error handling fixes
- remove some TODOs which are correctly implemented
- Add O_NONBLOCK when opening the device node (I don't know how it actually
worked without it in the data_arrived callback)

This does all the boring stuff for an input subsystem:
- Input device discovery using udev
- Input device hotplug (add/remove)
- Reading the evdev data from the devices
- Publishing input events to a callback through the eloop
- Suspending and resuming the input capture
Currently the delivered input events are basically just evdev's
"struct input_event" (type, code, value). More work is required to
have it pass out useful data.

vte: This adds a dummy VTE subsystem. It will be used to emulate a vt100
terminal based on our console subsystem.
terminal: This ties together several subsystems including the output-, the
console- and the vte-subsystem.
The test_terminal test application can be used to test the terminal. It is
supposed to provide a full vt100 implementation which is displayed on all
available screens.
Most of the functionality here is not implemented yet and only a dummy function.
These will be added in later commits.

It doesn't make sense to print the size of new buffer objects as the resize
function does the same. We also currently access uninitialized memory here so it
is useless anyway.
Also move the message of the unref function to be consistent with other objects.

We should activate the GL context on initialization to allow other subsystems to
create GL objects.
Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
There is no reason to prohibit a compositor from activating its GL context while
being asleep. It is even recommended to activate the GL context when being
asleep as there is no other way to initialize other subsystems without an GL
context.

If wakeup fails we should drop master priviledges again, otherwise we might

Also remove the SetMaster call on compositor initialization. It is redundant and

Currently, we set up our VT with SIGUSR1/2 signals and after that the user may
connect the signal handlers to the eloop. However, if we receive a signal in
between, the signal gets lost.
Therefore, this simply merges the kmscon_vt_connect_eloop function into
kmscon_vt_open as there is no obvious reason to split them.

If we have only an output but not the related compositor we currently cannot
figure out whether this output is awake. This adds such a helper function.

We must not destroy the compositor object if there is still a console using the
GL context. Otherwise we get a SEGFAULT when calling any gl* function.
In future we may need propoper dependencies here. We use reference counts so
this should be easy to implement.

kmscon_console_newline() can be used to produce a newline. Writing \n doesn't
work as this would write \n as character into the cell and not produce a
newline.
The console does not perform any parsing so we provide a separate function.

Remove the *_set_res() function entirely. Instead, the *_resize() function now
accepts a height argument which is used as quality hint. Internally, we compute
the texture width by the selected font plus the given height. This simplifies
the API and the internal handling and improves output on non-standard
resolutions or with non-standard fonts.
Until now it was only optimized for my 16x9 output but 5x4 output was quite
garbled.

Add two functions to enter/leave our VT object. This allows to
implement to expected behavior of automatically switching to the kmscon
when it is running on a new tty, and switching back to the tty we came
from when the program finishes. Presumably this behavior will be
controlled by a config variable or command line argument later on (like
Xorg's -novtswitch).
There's a bit of a subtlety in this because of VT_PROCESS. We need
permission from ourselves to switch in/out of out VT; this is done when
processing SIGUSR[12] in the eloop. We therefore must dispatch the loop
at least once after switching out. The usual case is demonstrated in
test_vt.c.
