Support for syncing the clipboard from X11 to Wayland and vice versa Summary: The clipboard sync is done by a dedicated helper binary launched by KWin. This helper binary is forced to xcb platform to piggy-back on Qt's implementation of the X11 clipboard. In addition it implements the Wayland clipboard - which is much simpler. Reading the Wayland clipboard is based on the implementation in QtWayland. KWin internally knows the DataDeviceInterface belonging to the helper application. Whenever an xwayland client is focussed, this DataDevice is allowed to set the selection and KWin manually updates the current selection in the SeatInterface. By that the sync from X11 to Wayland is implemented. When afterwards a Wayland client is selected, it's sent the current selection which references the X clipboard and a data transfer can be initiated in the normal Wayland way. For the other direction KWin sends the current selection to the helper's DataDevice whenever an xwayland window is focused. The helper application reads the Wayland clipboard and sets it on the X11 clipboard. Thus the Wayland clipboard is synced to X11. The approach used here will also be useful for implementing a clipboard manager (aka klipper). Currently the implementation is not yet fully completed. We need to make sure that the helper application gets restarted in case of a crash.

Run clang-tidy with modernize-use-override check Summary: Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features. The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc. Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had about 500 new compiler warnings. A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also for new. This is not what we want! The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to specify starting revision for a reason. The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check), or in our case add missing override keywords. Test Plan: Compiles.
