This protocol no longer requires us to draw a separate cursor surface
and all of that horrible stuff. We can just ask the compositor for the
default cursor instead since that's literally all mpv cares about.
This protocol is pretty important since it finally lets us solve the
longstanding issue of fractional scaling in wayland (no more mpv doing
rendering over the target resolution and then being scaled down). This
protocol also can completely replace the buffer_scale usage that we are
currently using for integer scaling so hopefully this can be removed
sometime in the future. Note that vo_dmabuf_wayland is omitted from the
fractional scale handling because we want the compositor to handle all
the scaling for that VO.
Fixes#9443.
The new single-pixel-buffer protocol is designed to optimize the case
for using a solid color as an underlay wl_surface. It works the same as
the wl_shm 1x1 pixel trick currently used, but it allows the compositor
to make optimizations with more certainty than the wl_shm trick.
The content-type protocol allows mpv to send compositor a hint about the
type of content being displayed on its surface so it could potentially
make some sort of optimization. Fundamentally, this is pretty simple but
since this requires a very new wayland-protocols version (1.27), we have
to mess with the build to add a new define and add a bunch of if's in
here. The protocol itself exposes 4 different types of content: none,
photo, video, and game.
To do that, let's add a new option (wayland-content-type) that lets
users control what hint to send to the compossitor. Since the previous
commit adds a VOCTRL that notifies us about the content being displayed,
we can also add an auto value to this option. As you'd expect, the
compositor hint would be set to photo if mpv's core detects an image,
video for other things, and it is set to none for the special case of
forcing a window when there is not a video track. For completion's sake,
game is also allowed as a value for this option, but in practice there
shouldn't be a reason to use that.
666cb91cf1 added support for v4 of the
dmabuf protocol. This was meant to be optional and the fallback support
for the old v2 (dates back to 2017[0] well before the 1.15
wayland-protocol version we depend on) was maintained. However, v4 added
several new functions and structs that of course aren't defined in old
protocol versions so naturally this breaks the build on those systems.
Since this is just a niche feature and not really critical to overall
wayland support in mpv, just give in and add another check in the build
system and #if out the newer stuff in wayland_common. v4 of linux-dmabuf
depends on wayland protocols 1-24[1], so go ahead and make that our new
check. Fixes#10807.

mpv has a ton of defines that are generated during building. Previously,
the meson build just had this as a big giant wall of text that manually
set each one but we can do this smarter. Instead, change the "features"
object to a dictionary and have it hold the name of the feature and its
value (true/false on whether it is enabled). Then at the end, just loop
through it and reformat the name of the feature so it becomes
HAVE_FEATURE. A side effect of this is that a lot of extra defines are
generated that aren't actually used in the code, but the waf build
worked like this for years anyway. A nice result of this is that the use
of foo['use'] internally can be completely eliminated and replaced with
feature['foo'] instead when needed.
This driver makes use of dmabuffer and viewporter interfaces
to enable efficient display of vaapi surfaces, avoiding
any unnecessary colour space conversion, and avoiding scaling
or colour conversion using GPU shader resources.
Some compiler flags were passed to mpv in order to get it to build as a
gui application on windows. However on the meson build, this always
resulted in mpv being built as a console application. This is because
the function for making executables in meson specifically has a kwarg
called win_subsystem* which defaults to 'console'. That always added
link arguments at the end which compiled mpv.exe as a console
application. The correct thing to do is to remove all of the
subsystem-related flags in the meson build and use the win_subsystem
kwarg as intended by setting it to 'windows,6.0'. For mpv.com, we can
remove the -Wl,--subsystem,console flag since meson will set this by
default in that executable. This makes mpv.exe function correctly and
open with the pseudo-gui while mpv.com acts as a console wrapper.

A few custom targets had some less than optimal names which created some
misleading "Generating custom-target-name with a custom command"
messages. Change those to be more descriptive/correct. In a few other
places, some checks were being done that could easily be
skipped/ignored in certain cases (like checking for windows-related
headers when gl-win32 isn't true). Also rearrange that to be smarter.
Finally, print some extra libplacebo messages for enabling/disabling
vo_gpu_next.
