This commit adds a new command line argument --debug-ghost and
makes it so X11 errors happening during context initialization
are only printed when this new flag is sued.
There is no need to flood users with errors when their GPU is
not supporting latest OpenGL version. Or, at a very minimum,
the error must be more meaning full.

In order to recover from a transient Focus Out - Focus In disruption
in the middle of a shortcut, which can be caused by certain window
managers, Blender has code that checks which modifier keys are pressed
after Focus In and restores the modifier state based on that.
If one of the Ctrl, Shift, Alt, Super keys is not mapped anywhere
in the active keyboard layout, XKeysymToKeycode returns the invalid
zero keycode, and reading the key state produces garbage, which can
cause an invalid modifier state. Check the return value to avoid this.
Adds a check when starting blender if your platform is supported. We use a blacklist
as drivers are updated more regular then blender (stable releases).
The mechanism detects if the support level changed or has been validated by the user previously.
Changes can happen due to users updating their drivers, but also when we change the support
level in our code base.
When the user has seen the limited support level message it is saved in the user config.
It would be better to have a system specific config section, but currently not clear
what could benefit from that.
When the platform is unsupported or has limited support a dialog box will appear including a link
to our user manual describing what to do.
**Windows**
Windows uses the MessageBox that is provided by the windows kernel.
**X11**
We use a very lowlevel messagebox for X11. It is very limited in use and can be fine tuned when needed.
**SDL/APPLE**
There is no implementation for SDL or APPLE at this moment as the platform support feature targets mostly Windows users.

For many users, this will make the File Browser window behave more like
what they would expect. It addresses the issue of the File Browser
becoming hidden behind the main window by clicking anywhere in the
latter. It communicates the interruptive, but temporary nature of the
operation a bit better.
Further, on tiling window managers the File Browser now opens as
floating by default, like in other applications.
Note that this also makes sure the File Browser is always opened as
separate window, so it doesn't re-use the Preferences, or any other
temporary window anymore. This seems to have been a common annoyance.
More concretely, this makes the File Browser window behave as follows:
* Stays on top of its parent Blender window, but not on top of
non-Blender windows.
* Minimizes with its parent window
* Can be moved independently
* Doesn't add an own item in task bars
* Doesn't block other Blender windows (we may want to have this though)
* Opens as floating window for tiling window managers (e.g. i3wm/Sway)
Further notes:
* When opening a file browser from the Preference window (or any
temporary window), the main window, as the file browsers parent is
moved on top of the Preferences, which makes it seem like the
Preferences were closed. This is the general issue of bad secondary
window handling as window activation changes. I made it so that the
window is moved back once the file browser is closed.
This behavior is confusing and would be nice to avoid. It's a separate
issue though.
* On most window managers on Linux the temporary window can not be
minimized and maximized, they disable that for dialog windows.
* On Windows and macOS, only minimizing is disabled, as there is no
decent way yet to restore a window if it's not shown in the taskbar.

Part of T69652.
The issue is that wayland seems to impose a generic device naming scheme
when using Xwayland For example any table stylus will show up with the
following naming convention: xwayland-stylus:33
For this to work in blender, I had to modify how the identifier string
is extracted. I also renamed the two char pointers in the search
algorithm to be more logical.

Viewport drawing has moved to offscreen buffers, and we no longer need to have
depth, stencil, aa samples, sRGB buffers as part of the window. So all that
code is removed now. The depth buffer was the only one still being allocated,
its removal save a bit of memory.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Xorg's XIWarpPointer doesn't support multi-head display while
XWarpPointer does.
Revert since this is a known TODO in Xorg and setting a custom
xinput matrix seems not to be used often.
Resolves T50383
Previously we would try to guess what the main tablet device is, but this is
error prone. Now we keep a list of X11 devices and try to match events to
them. On the Blender side there are still some limitations in regards to using
multiple devices at the same time, but this should improve things already.
Fixes T59645.
This reverts commit 7529690df3.
I tried to put manually add threading protection to GHOST around
Xlib calls but that did not fix the crashes. So reverting that
for now despite the performance implication on some system.
All keyboard events were sending double key events (including modifiers)
when xinput was enabled with gnome (causing much confusion!).
I cant test if XIM works,
but this isn't useful to send double events, so disabling for now.
