With the introduction of tiling drag, i3’s click behavior in window decorations
changed: before tiling drag, in a tabbed or stacked container, a window would be
focused/raised on mouse down. After tiling drag, on mouse up.
This commit sends XCB_ALLOW_REPLAY_POINTER before running the tiling drag code,
thereby restoring the focus/raise-on-mouse-down behavior without affecting the
tiling drag operation.

Commit 70f23caa9a18afc146f696fdf7d2481e5f7f0101 introduced new issues.
Instead of distinguishing " and \, as that commit attempted,
let’s instead keep the level of escaping by escaping each backslash,
just like each double quote.
I tested this with:
# recommended way to quote $ and " in quoted arguments, not ambiguous
Exec=/tmp/logargs "hello \\$PWD \\"and\\" more"
# permitted way to quote $ and " in quoted arguments, but ambiguous
Exec=/tmp/logargs "hello \$PWD \"and\" more"
# permitted way to quote arguments, slightly unusual to quote first arg
Exec="/tmp/logargs" hey
# a complicated shell expression, not ambiguous

- manage.c still used wrong `motif_border_style == BS_NORMAL`
- container must be set to floating first for correct code path and
correct max_user_border_style to be used in con_set_border_style
- Motif test now includes default_floating_border
Context:
Motif hints [1] allow applications to request specific window manager
frame decorations. Most applications like alacritty, chromium, and
godot, use the hints as a binary flag, setting or un-setting
`MWM_DECOR_ALL`.
Previously [2], we had disallowed applications to set the "normal"
border style through motif hints. This effectively meant that users that
had set `default_border pixel` would not see applications spawning with
normal decorations [3].
However, that meant that applications like godot [4] could not toggle
their border between none and normal so the behaviour changed with
v4.21 [5].
That change however also allowed applications to override the default
none/pixel border style the user set. For example, alacritty can be
configured to either have all or no decorations [6] and they always set
the motif hint on startup, completely overriding i3 user's preference:
1. If decorations are disabled with alacritty's config then they will
override `default_border normal` and no title will be used.
2. If decorations are enabled (also the default behavior) with
alacritty's config then they will override `default_border pixel` and
a title will be used.
This patch redefines how we interpret motif hints. When a client sets
`MWM_DECOR_ALL`, we interpret it as "the maximum decoration the user has
allowed for this window". I.e., if a client was all decorations and the
user expects the window to not have a title, we don't include the title
in "all" decorations.
The user's preference is determined by these:
1. For new tiling windows, as set by `default_border`
2. For new floating windows, as set by `default_floating_border`
3. For all windows that the user runs the `border` command, whatever is
the result of that command for that window.
Example:
- User opens new tiling window with `default_border pixel` => maximum
decoration = PIXEL
- Window requests all/title decorations => i3 enforces the user maximum
decoration, PIXEL (no change)
- Window requests no decorations => i3 accepts it and sets border to
NONE, maximum decoration remains PIXEL
- User toggles the border, next style is NORMAL => maximum decoration is
now NORMAL
- Window requests no decorations => i3 accepts it and sets border to
NONE
- Window requests all/title decorations => i3 accepts it and sets the
maximum border, NORMAL
- User toggles the border, next style is NONE => maximum decoration is
now NONE
- Window requests all/title decorations => i3 enforces the user maximum
decoration, NONE (no change)
With this, we will still allow behaviour where windows can toggle their
border style with motif hints [4][7].

Originally I thought we should remove the build and test steps in favor of the
“meson dist” step. But, then we lose verbose build command lines and access
to the test logs, and having the failing test logs readily available is
critical.
So, instead, let’s make the “meson dist” step not repeat the work that was
already done in earlier steps. The Meson manual even documents the --no-tests
flag precisely for our use case:
> The meson dist command has a --no-tests option to skip build and tests steps
> of generated packages. It can be used to not waste time for example when done
> in CI that already does its own testing.

Before this commit, the test was flaky: it relied on the Perl test process
sending the kill() system call before i3 exited. This can easily be triggered
by adding a sleep(1) after the “cmd 'exit'” line.
This is because with i3_autostart => 1 (the default), i3test.pm kills i3
or bails out if it can’t.
So, we instead set i3_autostart => 0 and launch i3 ourselves.
This will unfortunately still make the code kill i3 and bail out,
because launch_with_config updates the $i3_pid variable that i3test.pm
uses for tracking whether it should clean up i3.
The solution is to exit i3 by calling exit_gracefully,
which will make the i3test.pm state correct.

Count extra_bytes correctly
If there is a variable with the same name as the rest of another
variable after removing $, then it will be counted twice. Therefore,
we need to completely replace it with spaces (variable names cannot
contain spaces) in order to correctly calculate the length of a new
string.
