6a237a6c55 nitpicker: Domain-specific coordinate constraints
This patch introduces a way to tweak the coordinate systems per
domain. The 'origin' attribute denotes the origin of the coordinate
system. Valid values are "top_left", "top_right", "bottom_left",
"bottom_right", and "pointer". Furthermore, the screen dimensions as
reported to the nitpicker client can be tweaked per domain using the
'width' and 'height' attributes. If the specified value is positive,
it is taken as literal boundary. If the value is negative, the size
if deducted by the specified amount from the physical screen area.

1745453315 nitpicker: Layers and client-side mouse cursor
This patch introduces a mandatory layer attribute to domains. The layer
ordering is superimposed on the stacking order of the views. The
top-most layer can be assigned to a pointer-managing client. An example
for such a pointer is located at os/src/app/pointer. It replaces the
formerly built-in nitpicker mouse cursor.

The new layering mechanism replaces the former "stay-top" session
argument. So the Nitpicker::Connection no longer takes the stay-top flag
as the first argument.

65e283142a nitpicker: Support for opaque views in X-ray mode
A session can be explicitly configured to present its views in a
completely opaque way when the X-ray mode is active as opposed to the
default where each view gets tinted and surrounded by a frame. This
is useful for decorator views, which look overly busy otherwise.

dbebfd624e nitpicker: Domain configuration
This patch introduces the notion of a "domain" to the nitpicker
configuration concept. Session policies always refer to a domain where
multiple session policies can refer to the same domain. Thereby a domain
provides a way to express the grouping of sessions. This is useful for
applications that open multiple nitpicker sessions (such as Qt5 apps that
use one nitpicker session per window, menu, etc.). We want to assign all
those sessions to a single domain.

The configuration looks as follows:

<config>
  ...
  <domain name="default" color="#ffffff"/>
  <policy label="" domain="default"/>
  ...
</config>
