Summary:
This change adds global touchpad swipe gestures to the
GlobalShortcutsManager and hooks up the swipe gestures as defined at the
Plasma Affenfels sprint:
* swipe up: Desktop Grid
* swipe down: Present Windows
* swipe left: previous virtual desktop
* swipe right: next virtual desktop
The main work is handled by two new classes: SwipeGesture and
GestureRecognizer. This is implemented in a way that it can be extended
to also recognize touch screen gestures and pinch gestures.
The SwipeGesture defines what is required for the gesture to trigger.
Currently this includes the minimum and maximum number of fingers
participating in the gesture and the direction. The gesture gets
registered in the GestureRecognizer.
The events for the gesture are fed into the GestureRecognizer. It
evaluates which gestures could trigger and tracks them for every update
of the gesture. In the process of the gesture tracking the
GestureRecognizer emits signals on the Gesture:
* started: when the Gesture gets considered for a sequence
* cancelled: the Gesture no longer matches the sequence
* triggered: the sequence ended and the Gesture still matches
The remaining changes are related to hook up the existing shortcut
framework with the new touchpad gestures. The GlobalShortcutManager
gained support for it, InputRedirection and EffectsHandler offer methods
to register a QAction. VirtualDesktopManager, PresentWindows and
DesktopGrid are adjusted to support the gesture.

Summary:
Desktop Grid has a feature that right or middle clicking a window toggles
the on all desktop state. If that is done for a desktop window, things
obviously start to fail.
KWin internally allows to change virtual desktop for all windows, even
for windows like the desktop or docks. Changing in KWin core is not a
solution.
Thus a special casing in desktop grid is added to disallow the selection
for desktop windows.

Summary:
This reverts commit 14d1fdf63f.
The zoom effect is definitely the wrong way, it's broken (can be
triggered without moving the mouse, expands windows outside of their
allotted area (looks like broken sizing/placement), isn't animated so
feels very choppy, isn't using well-known highlight semantics), the
result is that it feels unnatural and jarring. To be honest, when I
looked at it, I was looking for a bug in the code, e.g. margins not
being taken into account. It didn't come up in me that this could be
wanted behavior, until I read the code.
As to the original commit message: The highlight is useless for this
case, as any window can be dragged or activated, highlighted or not.
What *could* work is to somehow intensify the colors, but that again
would have to be animated, and play well with the ongoing desktop-zoom
animation, the mouse pointer location changes relative to the window, so
it's really complex to get right. I thought of this for a while, I don't
think the complexity that has to be implemented is worth the benefit,
because, what does highlighted really mean here? "window is under the
mouse" isn't a useful metric, as we don't know if the user is changing
desktops or rearranging windows, and "window under mouse" changes
depending on the zoom level, "window can be dragged or activated" also
isn't a useful metric, as I can do that with any window, anyway.
Test Plan: Tested with patch applied, desktopgrid windows don't jump around anymore.

Most of those effects didn't need special screen locking handling on
X11 as they prevented screen locking. On Wayland though, we don't
want the lock screen shown on a cube.

Eg. if a window is closed while "timeline.currentValue() == 0",
slotWindowClosed() will shortcut exit and not be removed from the
managers, thus dangle around forever.
Maybe there're other ways for a window to be deleted w/o
the closed slot being entered.

While the main plasma desktop containment does one
desktop per screen, that does not necessarily hold
for other containments, let alone other desktop shells
To indicate that the window is "active" ie. can
be dragged or activated (like in present windows)
There was either a bug or a forum post complaining
about the inability to activate windows from DG
They're only traversed and QHash is unordered - so
the worst container. Also we have complete control
over the maintained class, so we can just keep the
mapped EffectWindow there
esp. the list-remove icon looks like "delete" and
can cause worries about what happens to the windows
as a bonus, the buttons now follow the DPI. are a
little smaller (presently might fit touch devices? but
is way to huge on "normal" desktops with ordinary DPI)
and the buttons have nice visible animations on pressing

before, hiding the buttons relied on the effect
seeing a paint event for the (with a low timeline
value) what's too wonky at least for instant animations
(certain failure) or when effect exits immediatey
(due to screen edge invocation issues or whatever)

Theory:
----------
because PresentWindowsEffect::screenCountChanged() is shortcut
for "if (!isActive())", but the desktopgrid doesn't call
PresentWindowsEffect::setActive (or at least
PresentWindowsEffect::screenCountChanged), so the effect can
"miss" the increasing screen count change (it sees the signal,
but ignores it) and when desktopgrid calls it, it assumes the
m_gridSizes array is big enough (but it isn't)
Steps:
----------
1. effects are loaded, 1 screen present
2. 2nd screen gets added, but inactive effects ignore that
3. desktop grid gets activated, updates according to screen count,
calls presentwindows for screen #2
4. presentwindows data is only prepared for one screen from step 1
=> BOOM

the (old) button effect windows used to be unreferenced
with the re-invocation of the effect. because we stopped
deleting/recreating the window, this approach failed and
the effect window was never deleted.
Unreferencing the window at proper occasion (see new hide
location) coked up - guess what - the exact same "texture is
junk" issue as for the QtQuick close button in present windows...
So we resort to the exact same stupid "hide by moving" solution
as we have there.

This is now crucial, because while before
(the minimized) windows were conditionally
shown, but are now always behind the desktop.
Also, it makes the tabbox more consistent.

DesktopGrid uses PresentWindows Effect as a proxy effect. Instead of
hard coding the name of the Effect let's use the name resolving provided
by BuiltInEffects.
This removes all the hacks to add kwin4_effect_ to the name of the Effect
and adjusts the desktop files of the effect configuration's parent
component.
Note: the scripted effects still start with kwin4_effect_ prefix.

All KCMs and KWin core use the BuiltInEffects namespace to find and
interact with the effects. There is no information left in the desktop
file which are of usage. Thus they can be removed.
This method replaces the X-KDE-ORDERING property in the Effect's desktop
files. This change is a preparation step for integrating the new Effect
Loader which doesn't read the ordering information. Thus it needs to be
provided by the Effect itself so that the EffectsHandler can properly
insert it into the chain.
Also for the built-in Effects on the long run it doesn't make much sense
to install the desktop files. And binary plugin effects will migrate to
json metadata which also doesn't have the KService::Ptr. Thus overall it
simplifies to read this information directly from the Effect.
Most is just switched to the ::read(). That should be enough for all the
Effects which have a KSharedConfig::Ptr underneath. If not we just need
to find a good place to put the reload.
Instead of using EffectsHandler::sendReloadMessage we generate the dbus
interface in each plugin and call the reconfigure slot directly. That way
it's more type safe and we don't need to link kwineffects from the
configs.

There are no advantages for the effects KCM to have all the effect
config modules in one plugin.
By having a plugin per effect we can use the KPluginTrader to easily
find the configuration plugin for a given effect and load it.
To make this possible the following changes are done:
* config_builtins.cpp is deleted
* add_subdirectory is used for all effects which have a config module
* toplevel CMakeLists.txt contains the sources again for the effects
which have a config module, but effects which don't have a config
module are still included and thus the macro is still used
* plugin created for the config module, name pattern is:
kwin_effectname_config
* plugin installed to ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}/kwin/effects/configs
* desktop file adjusted to new plugin name and keyword removed
* desktop file converted to json as meta data and no longer installed
* Uses K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_WITH_JSON
* Macros for config are dropped from kwineffects.h

Implemented in KWin core to forward to new global shortcut system. This
method should be extended/changed once we go to Qt5/KF5 to make the usage
easier (no more KAction).
Each global shortcut in the effects makes use of this new method.
As all effects have always been compiled into the same .so file it's
questionable whether resolving the effects through a library is useful
at all. By linking against the built-in effects we gain the following
advantages:
* don't have to load/unload the KLibrary
* don't have to resolve the create, supported and enabled functions
* no version check required
* no dependency resolving (effects don't use it)
* remove the KWIN_EFFECT macros from the effects
All the effects are now registered in an effects_builtins file which
maps the name to a factory method and supported or enabled by default
methods.
During loading the effects we first check whether there is a built-in
effect by the given name and make a shortcut to create it through that.
If that's not possible the normal plugin loading is used.
Completely unscientific testing [1] showed an improvement of almost 10
msec during loading all the effects I use.
[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.

Most effects had a "collection" for one action. We don't need the
action collection, all it was used for is setting the object name.
With the removal of KActionCollection the effects do not need to link
XmlGui any more, though the dependency is still pulled in through
plasma.
* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
With the removal of BoxSwitch all effects which want mouse events use the
fullscreen input window. The available functionality is too complex both
in EffectsHandler and in the Effects.
With this change only fullscreen input windows are supported and all
effects share the input window. This means there is at maximum one input
window. This simplifies the code in the Effects as they don't have to
keep track of the window they created any more. In EffectsHandler it
means that only one window needs to be created, destroyed and raised.
Also it means that we can properly react on screen size changes which had
been ignored in the past. Also quite some roundtrips to X are no longer
needed as we do not need to query the window geometry when creating the
input window.

Many headers included KLocale to use i18n and co. But those methods are
defined in KLocalizedString and not in KLocale.
With KF5 klocale.h does no longer include KLocalizedString causing lots
of compile errors.
The main difference is that the activation of an edge is no longer
broadcasted to all effects and scripts, but instead a passed in slot of
the Effect/Script is invoked.
For this the EffectsHandler API is changed to take the Effect as an
argument to (un)reserveElectricBorder. As callback slot the existing
borderActivated is used.
In addition the ScreenEdge monitors the object for beeing destroyed and
unregisters the the edge automatically. This removes the need from the
Effect to call unregister in the dtor.

In effects it's obvious that compositing is enabled, so specifying the
translucent element is no problem.
In tabbox a context property "compositing" is injected which decides
whether "translucent" or "opaque" elements should be used. Here the
translucent elements are only used if the Blur effect is available - for
this a new Effect::Feature Blur is introduced and in addition it is
tested whether the theme provides the translucent element.
Also the masking is adjusted to ensure that only the shadow is not
blurred.
Reason for this change is that Plasma theme seems not always to pick up
whether compositing is used when used from inside KWin. It does not cover
the Desktop Change OSD which uses PlasmaCore.Dialog and there we cannot
(yet) inject that we use compositing.
Overall I'm quite unhappy with this patch and I do hope we can fix it in
the proper place in the lifetime of 4.10 and revert this patch.
