The X server swapping code is a huge attack surface, much of this code
is untested and prone to security issues. The use-case of byte-swapped
clients is very niche, so let's disable this by default and allow it
only when the respective config option or commandline flag is given.
For Xorg, this adds the ServerFlag "AllowByteSwappedClients" "on".
For all DDX, this adds the commandline options +byteswappedclients and
-byteswappedclients to enable or disable, respectively.

When running rootful, the Xwayland window is not decorated (as all
Wayland surfaces), which makes it quite inconvenient to move on screen.
libdecor is "a client-side decorations library for Wayland clients"
which can be used precisely for adding decorations to Wayland surfaces.
Add optional support for libdecor in Xwayland to gain decorations when
running rootful and a new command line option "-decorate".

Add a new command line option "-host-grab" to disable the keyboard
shortcuts and confine the pointer on the host so that Xwayland can
receive all keyboard events.
This is useful when running a complete desktop environment within
Xwayland rootful.
Use [CTRL]+[SHIFT] to release the keyboard and pointer.
This option is not compatible with rootless mode.

Add a new command line option "-fullscreen" to make the rootful Xwayland
window appear fullscreen.
This requires viewport support in the compositor and when used with
"-geometry" can emulate the full range of XRandR resolutions.

When running rootless as well as rootful, Xwayland gets its outputs
configuration from the Wayland compositor.
When running rootful, it means that we end up with a large black
surface the size of all monitors combined, that's not very convenient
and there is no way for set the desired size of the Xwayland window.
Add a new command line option "-geometry" to force a specific mode when
running rootful for the user to specify the root window size to use for
Xwayland.
That option has no effect when Xwayland is running rootless.
v2: Not using libxcvt as the mode may not be a valid CVT mode.
v3: Add a set of XRandR modes and the RR hooks to make that work.
Update the man page for Xwayland.
v4: Add RandR 1.0 support for older clients
v5: Fix XVidMode failing with a BadMatch
v6: Add a separate xwl_output specifically for fixed mode, instead of
using the existing output list - that will allow for further
improvements like a fullscreen mode eventually.
v7: Sort the RR modes
v8: Fix RandR 1.0
v9: Add physical size
v10: Cleanup

Adds a -force-xrandr-emulation cmdline switch that always exposes extra
modes when viewporter isn't exposed by the Wayland compositor.
Having the additional modes exposed by the X server is important for
games to function and be configured
Compositors, such as Gamescope (the compositor for Steam Deck),
support only a single window that is rendered in the centre of the
screen that is scaled up to fill the screen by the compositor based
on some user scaling settings.
Exposing viewporter, wouldn't make sense here, and could mislead native
Wayland clients, so exposing dummy modesets in X is preferred here.

In some scenarios, the Wayland compositor might have more knowledge
than the X11 server and may be able to perform pointer emulation for
touch events better. Add a command-line switch to allow compositors
to turn Xwayland pointer emulation off.

When the command line option "-terminate" is used, it could be
interesting to give it an optional grace period to let the Xserver
running for a little longer in case a new connection occurs.
This adds an optional parameter to the "-terminate" command line option
for this purpose.
v2: Use a delay in seconds instead of milliseconds
(Martin Peres <martin.peres@mupuf.org>)
v3: Clarify man page entry, ensure terminateDelay is always >= 0,
simplify TimerFree(). (Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>)

When using autoconf/automake to build Xwayland, the actual path to
Xwayland is not fully qualified and refers to the "exec_prefix".
As a result, the path provided by the generated pkg-config file is wrong
when using autoconf to build the Xserver.
Fix the xwayland.pc file to also set the variable "prefix" and
"exec_prefix" so that the path to Xwayland is fully resolved.
Add those variables to the meson build as well for good measure.

Since commit b3f3d65e, xwayland now supports the command line option
"-listenfd" for passing file descriptors and marked "-listen" as
deprecated for this specific purpose.
Add a new pkg-config variable "have_listenfd" to the xwayland.pc so that
compositors can know this is available and use listenfd in place of the
deprecated option.

Xwayland is usually spawned by the Wayland compositor which sets the
command line options.
If a command line option is not supported, Xwayland will fail to start.
That somehow makes the Xwayland command line option sort of ABI, the
Wayland compositor need to know if a particular option is supported by
Xwayland at build time.
Also, currently, Xwayland is being installed along with the rest of the
common executable programs that users may run, which is sub-optimal
because, well, Xwayland is not a common executable program, it's meant
to be a proxy between the Wayland compositor and the legacy X11 clients
which wouldn't be able to run on Wayland otherwise.
Xwayland would be better installed in `libexec` but that directory is
(purposedly) not in the user `PATH` and therefore the Wayland compositor
may not be able to find Xwayland in that case.
To solve both problems (which options are supported by Xwayland and
where to look for it), add a `pkg-config` file specifically for Xwayland
which gives the full path to Xwayland (`xwayland`) and which options it
supports (using `pkg-config` variables).
The `pkg-config` file also provides the `Version` so the build scripts
can check for a particular version if necessary.
Obviously, Wayland compositors are not required to use the `pkg-config`
file and can continue to use whatever mechanism they deem preferable.
