ec3737510d WindowServer: Add accessory windows
Accessory windows are windows that, when activated, will activate
their parent and bring all other accessory windows of that parent
to the front of the window stack. Accessory windows can only be
active input windows. The accessory window's parent is always the
active window regardless of whether it is also the active input
window.

In order to route input correctly, input is now sent to the active
input window, which can be any accessory window or their parent,
or any regular window.

2ce2c4810a LibIPC+WindowServer+LibGUI: Detect and highlight unresponsive GUI apps
IPC::ClientConnection now tracks the time since the last time we got
a message from the client and calls a virtual function on itself after
3 seconds: may_have_become_unresponsive().

Subclasses of ClientConnection can then react to this if they like.

We use this mechanism in WindowServer to send out a friendly Ping
message to the client. If he doesn't Pong within 1 second, we mark
the client as "unresponsive" and recompose all of his windows with
a darkened appearance and amended title until he Pongs us.

This is a little on the aggressive side and we should figure out a way
to wake up less often. Perhaps this could only be done to windows the
user is currently interacting with, for example.

Anyways, this is pretty cool! :^)

244efe050a Clipboard: Move the system clipboard to a dedicated service process :^)
This commit moves the clipboard from WindowServer into a new Clipboard
service program. Clipboard runs as the unprivileged "clipboard" user
and with a much tighter pledge than WindowServer.

To keep things working as before, all GUI::Application users now make
a connection to Clipboard after making the connection to WindowServer.
It could be interesting to connect to Clipboard on demand, but right
now that would necessitate expanding every GUI app's pledge to include
"unix" and also unveiling the clipboard portal, which I prefer not to.

5326eebb1b WindowServer+LibGUI: Notify DisplayLinks at 60 fps no matter what
The original implementation only sent out notifications when there was
something being drawn on screen. If nothing was going on, we'd get too
lazy and just not notify display links.

This obviously break requestAnimationFrame(), so now we just drive the
DisplayLinks at 60 fps no matter what. :^)

424a3f5ac3 WindowServer+LibGUI: Add a way to get notified at display refresh rate
This patch adds GUI::DisplayLink, a mechanism for registering callbacks
that will fire at the display refresh rate.

Note that we don't actually know the screen refresh rate, but this is
instead completely driven by WindowServer's compositing timer. For all
current intents and purposes it does the job well enough. :^)
