Active output is a window management concept. It indicates what output
new windows have to be placed on if they have no output hint. So
Workspace seems to be a better place for it than the Screens class, which
is obsolete.
If some popups of active window present, there was glitches on switching
such as stale popups or the popup happened below window.
Dismissing all the popups solves the problem.

Currently, thumbnail items are rendered by kwin. This means that qtquick
code cannot do things such as applying shader effects to window thumbnails
or simply draw custom controls on top of thumbnails.
With this change, task switchers and qml extensions will be able to
place their own contents on top of thumbnails and apply custom effects
to them.
In order to integrate window thumbnails, a window is rendered on kwin
side using its own opengl context. A fence is inserted in the command
stream to ensure that the qtquick machinery doesn't start using the
offscreen texture while there are still rendering commands being executed.
Thumbnails are rendered into offscreen textures as we don't have full
control over when qtquick windows render their contents and to work around
the fact that things such as VAOs can't be shared across OpenGL contexts.
WindowThumbnailItem and DesktopThumbnailItem act as texture providers.
It is error-prone to have multiple sources for the same data. If the
base implementation (Compositor::compositing()) changes, other helpers
can get out of sync.
static cuts[] array was initialized only once with copies of non-const
objects, so when new shortcuts are configured, the old objects were still
referenced.
Fixed by having non-static array instead, so actual objects are copied
on the init every time.

This allows Task Switcher visualizations to know whether compositing is
active or not so they can adjust their visual representations
accordingly, if needed.
Once in a while, we receive complaints from other fellow KDE developers
about the file organization of kwin. This change addresses some of those
complaints by moving all of source code in a separate directory, src/,
thus making the project structure more traditional. Things such as tests
are kept in their own toplevel directories.
This change may wreak havoc on merge requests that add new files to kwin,
but if a patch modifies an already existing file, git should be smart
enough to figure out that the file has been relocated.
We may potentially split the src/ directory further to make navigating
the source code easier, but hopefully this is good enough already.
