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.
Currently, the OpenGLBackend and the QPainterBackend have hooks to
indicate the start and the end of compositing cycle, but in both cases,
the hooks have different names. This change fixes that inconsistency.
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: No need to keep them around for no reason.
Test Plan: Tested the plugins I thought could be affected. Have been using it for a couple of days without problems

Summary:
To homogenize our backends and as another step to remove the Screens class
use the AbstractOutput class in the framebuffer backend.
Test Plan: Manually on VT enforcing the framebuffer backend.

Summary: TTYs are only available for seat0, so when starting a framebuffer kwin on seat1, it never draws, because drawing is always suspended, because it is being treated as not active
Test Plan: The framebuffer backend draws on seat1, and /dev/fb1 and when I switch back to my Weston greeter, (when it's also using the frame buffer,) it doesn't try to draw on top of it.

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.

Summary:
No need to delegate the painting of the software cursor into the backend.
The core has enough information to perform the rendering itself.
This change means less code duplication and all platforms which might use
a software cursor in QPainter compositor gain support for it without any
further adjustments.

Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
