At the moment, our frame scheduling infrastructure is still heavily
based on Xinerama-style rendering. Specifically, we assume that painting
is driven by a single timer, etc.
This change introduces a new type - RenderLoop. Its main purpose is to
drive compositing on a specific output, or in case of X11, on the
overlay window.
With RenderLoop, compositing is synchronized to vblank events. It
exposes the last and the next estimated presentation timestamp. The
expected presentation timestamp can be used by effects to ensure that
animations are synchronized with the upcoming vblank event.
On Wayland, every outputs has its own render loop. On X11, per screen
rendering is not possible, therefore the platform exposes the render
loop for the overlay window. Ideally, the Scene has to expose the
RenderLoop, but as the first step towards better compositing scheduling
it's good as is for the time being.
The RenderLoop tries to minimize the latency by delaying compositing as
close as possible to the next vblank event. One tricky thing about it is
that if compositing is too close to the next vblank event, animations
may become a little bit choppy. However, increasing the latency reduces
the choppiness.
Given that, there is no any "silver bullet" solution for the choppiness
issue, a new option has been added in the Compositing KCM to specify the
amount of latency. By default, it's "Medium," but if a user is not
satisfied with the upstream default, they can tweak it.
Since the Screens class is a convenience wrapper around AbstractOutput
objects that come from the Platform, it should not be platform-specific.
By dropping createScreens(), output-related code becomes simpler.
These signals can be useful if you want to know what output exactly has
been disabled or enabled.
The outputEnabled signal is emitted after the outputAdded signal, and
the outputDisabled signal is emitted before the outputRemoved signal.
At the moment, despite the protocol supporting it, we were not feeding
the EDIDs. KScreen was falling back to the output name so it didn't fail
horribly but it's still a good idea to provide all the data.
When dragging files on the desktop, the cursor image might be just too
big for the cursor plane, in which case we need to abandon hardware
cursors for a brief moment and use a software cursor. Once the files
have been dropped and the cursor image is small enough, we can go back
to using hw cursors.

The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Summary:
AbstractOutput::name() behaviour is changed so that it matches the X11
behaviour, showing an identifier like "HDMI-0".
XdgOutput.name is set to this name.
XdgOutput.description is currently set to the manufacturer name and
model, but it's not exposed to Qt so we probably don't care too much.
This should fix plasmashell changing applets when switching between X11
and wayland.
Test Plan:
Relevant unit test
I still need to run it on my laptop.

Summary:
Make it more explicit what the relation is between Wayland and XDG objects
existing and enablement:
The ouput is enabled if and only if Wayland and XDG output objects exist.
We can simplify the code by replacing checks on the outputs with checking
the current enablement value.
Test Plan: Wayland nested and virtual backends.

Summary:
With f013a4369c, cd6b69a4d2, d960be4b3f and edb200f6bc all possible
backends of a Wayland session have been ported to using the internal functions
of AbstractWaylandOutput's for managing outputs.
This removes the alternative code path used before in these backends, what
simplifies the code and is also a prerequisite to removing the Screens global
in the future.

My change in 304528e80b has been reported to
cause issues for PostMarketOS https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/issues/204
I originally submitted the change to activate Framebuffer devices
as secondary framebuffer devices are not on by default, (such as a
secondary DisplayLink device). Changing attributes usually forced
some framebuffer devices to turn on, however I have found a more
accurate way to turn on framebuffer devices, without messing with
the color layout.

Summary:
Weston does something similar
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/tree/libweston/compositor-fbdev.c#n315
...and it seems that the non-primary framebuffer devices start completely off. (the screen is off on my Displayport device, and the window for the second vga card in qemu is much smaller than the primary one, and all black for my qemu vm) .
In my testing, sending the ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO with a *changed* &varinfo allows it to wake up, and turns on the screen.
doing FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO and then FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO in my testing does not work.
I think really the values that end up getting changed are varinfo.transp.offset and varinfo.transp.length. at least on the qemu system, but in this patch I am aligning all of them for completeness, because the drivers might do it differently for qemu
Test Plan: This causes the window for /dev/fb1 (remote-viewer, and a qemu vm with two "VGA" (bochsdrm) cards) to resize from the smaller size when specifying it as the --fb-device on seat0, and kwin draws on the device.

Summary:
So far if the framebuffer platform run into an error on initialization
it did not continue and caused the system to freeze. With this change
it properly emits the initFailed signal in all error conditions which
causes kwin_wayland to terminate. This is a much better situation than
just staying in a running, but frozen state.

Summary:
If the format of the framebuffer is BGR we cannot create an RGB image
format from it - the rendering is incorrect. Unfortunately QImage does
not support a BGR image format.
To solve this problem we still use an RGB image format but on rendering
the front buffer is rgbSwapped to convert the RGB image to a BGR image.

Platform::setSoftWareCursor creates connections to the Cursor in order
