This timer delays the output_repaint towards the end of the refresh
period, reducing the time from repaint to present.
The length of the repaint window can be set in weston.ini.
The call to weston_output_schedule_repaint_reset() is delayed by one
more period. If we exit the continuous repaint loop (set
output->repaint_scheduled to false) in finish_frame, we may call
start_repaint_loop() unnecessarily. The problem case was actually
observed with two outputs on the DRM backend at 60 Hz, and 7 ms
repaint-window. During a window move, one output was constantly falling
off the continuous repaint loop and introducing additional one frame
latency, leading to jerky window motion. This code now avoids the
problem.
Changes in v2:
- Rename repaint_delay_timer to repaint_timer and
output_repaint_delay_handler to output_repaint_timer_handler.
- When computing the delay, take the current time into account. The timer
uses a relative timeout, so we have to subtract any time already gone.
Note, that 'gone' may also be negative. DRM has a habit of predicting
the page flip timestamp so it may be still in the future when we get the
completion event.
- Do also a sanity check 'msec > 1000'. In the unlikely case that
something fails to provide a good timestamp, never delay for more than
one second.

Weston's idle timeout can already be set via the '-i' command-line
option, but this patch lets users specify it also via weston.ini.
Note that the command-line option takes precedence over the .ini,
should the option be set by both.

This commit makes the wayland backend search through the config for
[output] sections with names starting with "WL" and create outputs
accordingly. Outputs created due to the config file support mode, scale,
and transform parameters. It also listens for the --output-count
command-line option.
This brings the wayland backend almost up to par, in terms of functionality
with the X11 backend.

This patch adds a new weston.ini key, gbm-format, to the [core] section.
This new key can be rgb565, xrgb8888 or xrgb2101010, and makes the
compositor use the corresponding GBM format for the framebuffer.
The new key startup-animation in the [shell] section lets you
control the startup animation. Default is fade, but with this patch
we can also do none, which just show the desktop as fast as possible.
Scale-crop mode scales the wallpaper to tightly fill the whole output,
but preserving wallpaper aspect ratio. If aspect ratio differs from the
output's, the wallpaper is centered cutting it from top/bottom or
left/right.
Add this to the weston.ini man page, and explain all three modes.

This set of changes adds support for searching for a given config file
in the directories listed in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS if it wasn't found in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config. This allows packages to install custom
config files in /etc/xdg/weston, for example, thus allowing them to
avoid dealing with home directories.
To avoid a TOCTOU race the config file is actually open()ed during the
search. Its file descriptor is returned and stored in the compositor
for later use when performing subsequent config file parses.
