Summary:
this handles the case of reinitializing a component, but it's totally
broken in the case of doing a full ecore restart

so i've been wondering what is going on for a few days... and i've
figured it out finally... my mouse seems ot like to generate 1000
events per second. not your usual 100 or 200. it only happened on this
one machine so i was wondering what on earth was up. this machine was
different in other ways like an arm cpu, differing gpu (rx550),
different distro and so on. this is creating a storm of motion events..
and this is causing all sorts of overhead in just trying to deal with
them all like generate more internal events, emit signals for every
one of them and so on. there is no attempt to play catch-up or
anything - just build up a bigger and bigger queue of them to deal
with. this is NOT GOOD. this restores our old commented out event
skipper that got commented out during some xcb work actually -
not on its own. it was a huge xcb patch that commented it out.
this restores it and makes it a little cleaner with a bool and now the
perf issues i was seeing are gone. this is such a major performance
fix that this deserves a backport.

Summary:
meson and autotools were a bit out of sync with this, resulting in
unexpected behavior

A New entry is added to _ecore_key_grabs even when no key was grabbed.
Summary: The key grab and ungrab functions should return which keycode was used. Proposed by pascal@ordissimo.com

This build was never complete and also was not maintained probebly.
It is also dropped in favour of meson which is cool, merged, works & is fast.

it was a lot of if cases before now it's an array with min version
parameters and globs for matching drivers etc. - much cleaner and
neater to afdd things to the whtielist now.
a new shiny buildtool that currently completes in the total of ~ 4 min..
1 min. conf time
2:30 min. build time
Where autotools takes:
1:50 min. conf time
3:40 min. build time.
meson was taken because it went quite good for enlightenment, and is a traction gaining system that is also used by other mayor projects. Additionally, the DSL that is defined my meson makes the configuration of the builds a lot easier to read.
Further informations can be gathered from the README.meson
Right now, bindings & windows support are missing.
It is highly recommented to use meson 0.48 due to optimizations in meson
that reduced the time the meson call would need.

This fixes cycles of init/shutdown/init where ecore event types would
become invalid, since they are now stored in a dynamic array rather than
a statically stored array.
The risk here is that if a module of EFL tends to init/shutdown in a
"normal" scenario then the event type array will grow in a leaking
manner. This could be fixed by resetting those event ID's only when the
loop actually exits (EFL_EVENT_DEL on the main loop). I'm not using
EFL_EVENT_DEL in this patch as this would add too many event callbacks
to the main loop object, which may result in slightly slower event calls
to it, affecting the overall performance.
Summary: assignment to local variable "ret" has no meaning as it is not used after assignment. So, removing assignment operation to avoid warning.

in some cases loading an xmodmap on enlightenment startup can trigger an infinite
number of identical events which hard locks the xserver for a very, very long time
@fix
This happens in E with software compositing, since E's commit
5702f0975e890f07cfb. E should be fixed shortly but segv is not
acceptable. Without segv E is still massively broken so it's
not like the bug would be hidden (large black areas in windows,
after switch vdesks with enough windows).
it turns out that xlib is going to copy the complete struct into
something internal. This might lead to the condition that a uninitalized
value might be part of the struct, and when later the struct is read
again the code might do wrong stuff since that value could be set now to
a randomly other meaningfull value.
This turned out on me in e as i could not write any letters like ßöäü,
since that lead to a not returning call to _XReply internal of xlib.
Dugging that showed that xlib was waiting on a reply of a call that
never got executed, and the XEvent it is waiting on just contians a
randomly correct value.

as per mailing list discussion about dropping xcb support now. it
hasn't been complete for a long time, thus not recommented for being
turned on. as we are moving to a wayland world xcbmakes even less
sense. as agreed, time to clean up a bit and remove a distraction as
well as not well tested code. this also updates po's too.
@feature
prctl allows us on some platforms to request a thread be woken up more
agressively e.g. due to a timeout bu setting timerslack. since we use
a dedicated thread just for vsync events, this is a very good idea to
ask the kernel to be as exact as possible for this thread as it only
wakes up once per frame (or should only) and accuracy is important. so
use this.
also improve prctl checks to be more explicit in configure.ac and use
these ifdefs in ecore exe too where prctl is used as well.
@feature
set ECORE_ANIMATOR_SKIP to skip queued animtor ticks if multiple are
in the pipeline. optional and not on by default. i would think its not
a good idea to skip these animator ticks and skipping/deferring is a
job higher up.
@feature
so ecore_x_vsync as a tool uses glx for nvidia drivers plut "wait for
vblank" extensions to try vsync "sync". the problem is this is flakey
because the drivers may or may not continue vsyncing after screen off
or syspend/resume or vt changes and all the workarounds dont seem to
be reliable, so since this causes this to be disabled, no point
keeping all the code and build stuff around, so remove this "unused
junk" we have in the tree.
This is for Wacom graphics tablets (with a pen).
The raw data sent by ecore to evas (and then to apps) is pretty
useless as it's not normalized, and apps have no way of knowing the
dimensions of the tablet, without themselves opening the device
(we don't know nor expose the path to the device).
This is for Xi2 only for now, as Wayland support hasn't been done
yet.
The intent is to deprecate LABEL_X and LABEL_Y. I'm not sure yet
if the normalized value is useful or not (it would seem we may not
be able to provide this info in Wayland).
The new WINDOW_X, WINDOW_Y labels will be used in the new event
type (Efl.Event.Pointer). Normalized values are not exposed yet,
let's decide if we want them or not first (based on what can be
done in Wayland space).
@feature
Mice in X with xi2 send Axis events which are badly defined,
and carry basically useless information, as we also receive
proper mouse events. Notably, all mice input events are
"Rel something" but in fact they are absolute values (even
the wheel information is a counter increasing every time you
scroll).
This should not break any application as such axis events
carried only values with label ECORE_AXIS_LABEL_UNKNOWN.
This also fixes a leak when n == 0 (no "valuator" found
in the list, this used to be unlikely, now happens at every
mouse event).
This fixes argb windows transparency in E software compositor.
My current problem is that I have no idea what changed, why this
is needed now, and how things could actually work before.
