Summary:
Plasma's Task manager exposes an optional feature whereby the user
can middle-click on a window to close it, but the Present Windows effect
does not do the same.
The presence of a close button you can left-click does not replace the desirable
feature to be able to middle-click on a window to close it, because then the
whole window becomes a click target, so it can be much much faster than
having to aim for the little close button. Also it's off by default, so a user
who goes out of their way to turn it on is signaling that they want to accept the
risk of accidentally closing a window by accident.
Finally, the feature is not allowed for left-click, so people can never accidentally
wreck Present Windows for themselves by assigning it to left-click by accident
and then mistakenly closing their windows.
This reverts commit 55585514f9.

Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D21083
This feature has been superseded by the close window button and as it
is a rather destructive action it makes sense to remove it.
Sorry to everyone who used it.
CCBUG: 314393
REVIEW: 108851
It's possible to activate a window, exit without activating, bring window to current desktop, send window on all desktops, mimize the window and close the window.
Clicking desktop allows to activate selected window, exit without activating, show the desktop (minimize all apps) and of course do nothing.

"MakeTransparent" to "Translucency" so that it matches its visible name.
