The freetype2 font backend lacks support for proper combining marks and I

Remove uvtd. The idea is outdated and not really needed. With recent
systemd-logind changes, all we need is a shim between legacy-programs
(like XServer) and logind. We can easily do that via libuvt without

The genshader and genunifont utilities are run during the build process
to generate source files. In order for that to work when cross-compiling
the files need to be built using the native compiler instead of the
cross-compiler.
Add the AX_PROG_CC_FOR_BUILD m4 macro which defines various *_FOR_BUILD
variables that are the native equivalents of CC, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc.
Override CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS for genshader and genunifont and their
object files so that they will be built natively and can be executed
during the build.

kmscon is now hosted on freedesktop.org. Please don't use the github
links, anymore. I will push to github for some more weeks, but I recommend
to everyone to use my freedesktop.org repository as primary upstream link.
There were many reasons why github.com wasn't sufficient, anymore. But the
main reason is that they no longer provide upload space for release
tarballs. Hence, lets ditch github and move to freedesktop.org which
kindly provides everything we need plus a really nice mailing-list.

This introduces uvtd which replaces kmscon sessions as an external helper
program. It's still a dummy program but it will get extended soon. After
that, kmscon sessions will get removed and limited to a single seat. This
will simplify kmscon itself heavily and move rarely used features out of
kmscon into helpers.

This is kmscon-7. See ./NEWS for a list of new features.
Unfortunately, github disabled the "Downloads" section so there is no way
to upload new pre-generated tarballs. I have a pending application to move
kmscon to freedesktop.org, but it didn't get processed in time for this
release. Therefore, you need to build the GNU-autotools files yourself.
That is, before calling ./configure you need to call:
NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
You can extend your build-scripts with:
test -f ./configure || NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
Which will call ./autogen.sh if needed. Everything else can be left
unchanged.
I will not upload the tarballs at another location. Feel free to do that
yourself, but I personally think this will introduce more confusion than
help. I hope the freedesktop.org move will be soon approved. This will
also provide a mailing-list where I can properly announce new releases.
Raw tarballs will be available as (without pre-generated autotools):
https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/archive/kmscon-7.tar.gzhttps://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/archive/kmscon-7.zip
The git-tag is: kmscon-7
You can use my public GPG key to verify the tarballs.
As usual, please report bugs to: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon

UVT is based heavily on the old cdev-sessions. It uses CUSE/FUSE to
implement virtual terminals in user-space.
This move into a library allows to use it in other projects, too. There is
no reason to limit it to kmscon sessions. In fact, we will remove the
cdev-sessions, soon and make kmscon a stand-alone terminal emulator
without any session capability.
Instead, the uvtd program will provide the VT emulation.
This library is not finished, nor ready for use. However, feel free to
contribute patches so we can eventually release a stable API.

We need the font layer to build wlterm. However, the font layer depends on
kmscon internal module handling so we cannot do this. To avoid this, we
simply provide dummy handlers for the kmscon_module_* layer and link it
anyway. This is kind of ugly but works, yey!

This renames the video-drm backend to drm3d (which was already used
internally). This is a pure rename, the code-logic stays the same.
This also puts the drm3d backend into a module so we can more easily
load it during runtime.

The cairo text renderer uses the cairo blitting functions to blit all
glyphs into the cairo-surface. This is only for testing-purposes. Cairo is
not really suited for blending/blitting of large surfaces. Hence, this
backend is horribly slow compared to bblit/bbulk.
This backend is disabled by default.

Similar to the font backends we now require one backend to be always
available as safe fallback. The bblit backend is the most basic backend so
make it mandatory and link it unconditionally.

We want to modularize the text-font library, so we need each backend as a
different library. This step links each of them into a different static
library so we can now link them either into the binary or into modules.
This step also makes 8x16 always compiled into the text-font backend so we
always have a working implementation even though no modules might be
loaded.

We used to simply probe every GPU that is reported by the kernel. However,
if a system has multiple GPUs that share display controllers, we cannot
use both simultaneously. Unfortunately, the kernel currently does not
notify us about this. Hence, we use some heuristics to determine which GPU
is the boot-gpu/primary-gpu.
This only adds the detection logic, it does not modify any code to use
this detection at all.

If libfuse is available then kmscon is built with a new session type: cdev
This session creates a fake TTY char-dev via CUSE (which itself uses FUSE)
which then can be used by user-space as if it were a real VT.
This is still incomplete and does only support basic I/O, yet. But it
shows in what direction this is going.
