This port the remaining bits in EffectsHandler from Screens. It does
make sense to deprecate or remove workspace geometry bits in
libkwineffects as the interpretation of the workspace layout is very
effect-specific, e.g. as in the slide effect.
With some effects, latency policy doesn't matter and it's preferred if
kwin uses the smoothest animation latency policy in order to minimize
the number of frame drops, e.g. slide.
This allows using global shortcuts while a move/resize is ongoing. Most
importantly, this allows moving a window to a different desktop by
picking it up and then using a global shortcut to move to a different
desktop.

The Workspace has two stacks - one with managed windows and deleted
windows, the other includes windows from the first stack + override
redirect windows.
This change merges both stacks. It has several benefits - we will be
able to move window elevation stuff to Workspace and streamline the
scene stuff, for example it will be possible to have a root item.
Another advantage is that unmanaged windows will have
Window::stackingOrder() property set, which can be useful in the future
in qml effects or (qtquick scene if we push harder in that front).
Another advantage is that kwin will make less X11 calls when restacking
managed windows.
Conceptually, scheduling repainting in Window doesn't belong there. This
change rewires EffectWindow internals so it schedules repaints using the
associated WindowItem.
Window::addWorkspaceRepaint() has not been removed yet because
Window::elevate() uses it.
This allows to toss a large amount of custom rendering code.
Furthermore, it removes the build-time dependency on Plasma Framework
for FrameSvg and Theme from KWin core as it's pulled in through QML
imports now.
It also cleans up the API and removes functions that are effectively
unused or no-op after this change.
For instance, effects often destroy their effect frames
in pre/postPaintScreen, which would now destroy an `OffscreenQuickView`,
which changes GL context. This is alleviated by delaying detruction
of the internal view.
Support for the features of text cross-fade and selection frame,
which are not used by any of the built-in effects, is dropped.

The lanczos filter depends on the effect system. It makes very difficult
changing painting code from SceneWindow to Item.
Given that the last big users of the laczos filter - present windows and
desktop grid effects were re-written in QML. The only remaining user of
the lanczos filter is the thumbnail aside effect. Given that it's a
really obscure usecase, switching to the linear filter won't be very
noticeable.
As a backup plan, one can reimplement the thumbnailaside effect using
QML. The lanczos filter is already implemented in plasma-framework.
With this, the WindowItem will know whether it's actually visible. As
the result, if a native wayland window has been minimized, kwin won't
try to schedule a new frame if just a frame callback has been committed.
EffectWindow::enablePainting() and EffectWindow::disablePainting() act
as a stone in the shoe. They have the final say whether the given window
is visible and they are invoked too late in the rendering process.
WindowItem needs to know whether the window is visible in advance,
before compositing starts.
This change replaces EffectWindow::enablePainting() and
EffectWindow::disablePainting() with EffectWindow::refVisible() and
EffectWindow::unrefVisible(). If an effect calls the refVisible()
function, the window will be kept visible regardless of its state. It
should be called when a window is minimized or closed, etc. If an effect
doesn't want to paint a window, it should not call effects->paintWindow().
EffectWindow::refVisible() doesn't replace EffectWindow::refWindow() but
supplements it. refVisible() only ensures that a window will be kept
visible while refWindow() ensures that the window won't be destroyed
until the effect is done with it.
AbstractOutput is not so Abstract and it's common to avoid the word
"Abstract" in class names as it doesn't contribute any new information.
It also significantly reduces the line width in some places.
Added this interface to the VirtualDesktopManager. Realtime touchpad gestures update the interface to allow for mac os style desktop switching.
Also makes gestured switching use natural direction.
BUG: 185710
The main motivation behind this change is to unify render target
representation across opengl and software renderers and avoid accessing
the render backend directory in order to get the render target.
- added option to remove the frametime graph
- added option to remove the "this is a benchmark" message
- location of the fps counter is now on the "active" monitor by default
- removed the hard-limit of 100 for the FPS counter
- added option to color the text based off the FPS value
With this change, the Workspace would provide clientArea() overloads
that take only AbstractOutput and VirtualDesktop. integer ids are
obsolete as they are unstable.

The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
support realtime activation for screenedges gestures, making it possible
for effects to show half-triggered states while dragging from
the edge with a finger, making them much more usable
It's not possible to get the surface damage before calling
Scene::paint(), which is a big problem because it blocks proper surface
damage and buffer damage calculation when walking render layer tree.
This change reworks the scene compositing stages to allow getting the
next surface damage before calling Scene::paint().
The main challenge is that the effects can expand the surface damage. We
have to call prePaintWindow() and prePaintScreen() before actually
starting painting. However, prePaintWindow() is called after starting
rendering.
This change makes Scene call prePaintWindow() and prePaintScreen() so
it's possible to know the surface damage beforehand. Unfortunately, it's
also a breaking change. Some fullscreen effects will have to adapt to
the new Scene paint order. Paint hooks will be invoked in the following
order:
* prePaintScreen() once per frame
* prePaintWindow() once per frame
* paintScreen() can be called multiple times
* paintWindow() can be called as many times as paintScreen()
* postPaintWindow() once per frame
* postPaintScreen() once per frame
After walking the render layer tree, the Compositor will poke the render
backend for the back buffer repair region and combine it with the
surface damage to get the buffer damage, which can be passed to the
render backend (in order to optimize performance with tiled gpus) and
Scene::paint(), which will determine what parts of the scene have to
repainted based on the buffer damage.
Having blurRegion to identify if a decoration supports blur or not instead of the metadata-json way has the following benefits:
- decorations can now provide both blur or not based on user preference
- theme engines such as Aurorae do not have to enforce blur or not to their themes and they can support blur enabled and disabled themes at the same time if they want to
- blurRegion is empty by default so the Korners bug will be fixed for all solid aurorae themes. Breeze and Oxygen have set **blur:false** so nothing changes for them.
- all aurorae themes that do not require blur will free up system resources by default
