Summary:
This is a workaround for QTBUG-54371 resulting in QtWayland never
requesting the input methods panel without having keyboard focus.
Thus also the virtual keyboard is not working.
With this change we go back to always announcing a keyboard and
binding the virtual keyboard to whether we don't have an alpha-numeric
keyboard instead of whether there is a keyboard on the seat.

Summary:
The idea is to have KWin provide a virtual keyboard. To support this
KWin uses the QT_IM_MODULE qtvirtualkeyboard and makes sure that the
QPA plugin loads it.
KWin has a new class VirtualKeyboard which acts as the focus object and
the "proxy" for input methods. The QPA plugin ensures that this is the
focusObject, so that all input method related events are sent to this
class. From there it will be possible to delegate to other applications
through the Wayland interfaces.
