This is implemented through QActions following the general approach
inside KWin and not the older approach used by ScreenEdges for pointer
callback activation.

Summary:
The new touch gestures activated for the same actions as configured for
mouse pointer actions. This has disadvantages as the only configured
default screen edge action cannot be triggered (corner) on touch. On the
other hand setting a default touch gesture would be rather annoying with
pointer as a default.
So overall it makes sense to split the actions and have dedicated pointer
and dedicated touch actions.
This change introduces the first part of it and splits the handling in
general. We now have:
Activates for pointer and touch:
* client (auto-hiding panels)
Activates for pointer only:
* the configured action
* virtual desktop switching
* callbacks
Activates for touch only:
* the new touch action
The touch actions are implemented similar to the pointer actions which
slight improvements in the code which will be backported to the pointer
actions.
Introducing callbacks will be the next step. I plan to do it a little bit
different by using QActions as that's what KWin internally uses for
everything except screen edges.

Summary:
Each Edge creates a SwipeGesture for touch activation. The swipe needs to
be a single finger starting from the edge into the screen for at least
20 %. The SwipeGesture and GestureRecognizer is extended to support the
use cases of the touch screen edge swipe.
New features supported by the gesture system are:
* minimum and maximum position
* a minimum delta for the swipe
* progress signal based on the minimum delta
* starting a swipe with a start point
The Edge has the progress signal connected to its approach signal, thus
visual feedback is provided through the screen edge effect.
The screen edge system supports touch only for the edges (corners are
too difficult to activate on touch screens). At the moment the following
features are supported:
* screen edge show/raise of windows (e.g. auto hidden panels)
* trigger the configured action
* trigger the configured callback function (e.g. script)
In future it might make sense to add a touch specific configuration
action to support different actions for screen edges activated by mouse
and touch.

Summary:
This change ports ScreenEdges to operate on AbstractClient instead of
Client. For this AbstractClient gained a new pure virtual method
showOnScreenEdge which is also implemented in ShellClient.
In ShellClient the functionality is bound for the case windows can
cover a panel. If triggered the panel gets raised again.
The auto hiding panel, though, is not yet implemented. For that the
protocol needs to be adjusted to give a hint to the compositor when to
hide and hint back to the panel when it was shown. This needs a change
in KWayland and thus is not 5.8 material.
Test Plan: See added test case

Removes a diversion between X11 and Wayland. The base class Platform
creates an instance of class Edge with plugin implementations being
able to create a different type.
The X11StandalonePlugin does that and creates a WindowBasedEdge. For
this the implementation of WindowBasedEdge is moved from screenedges
into the plugin.
Unfortunately an ifdef is needed to make the screenedge test still
work as expected. This should be improved in future, e.g. have a good
way to load the platform plugin from the tests.

So far the area based edges connected directly to global pointer pos
changed in InputRedirection. This didn't allow proper checking whether
the edge was triggered (e.g. missing timestamp).
This change merges the functionality into the new input filter mechanism.
There is now a dedicated input filter for screen edges, installed after
lock screen and before effects. It always passes events on, but also passes
all events through ScreenEdges to handle the activation. As it's installed
after the lock screen filter we don't need to check for screen locked any
more.
The code is now similar strucutured to the existing X11 based variants
and maybe will allow to also merge the X11 variant with the new one.
Add action type to screen edge show to allow raise/lower as well as
autohide
Add an action type to screen edge show to allow raise/lower as well as
autohide. This uses the same atom, using a mask to separate type and
location.
The logic for handling geometry changes is moved from the screenedge to
the client so that we can handle both types without screenedge needing
to know what the raise is for.

commit c6bd68d78a2e00ce094a4087c106aaf4067f9f57 fixed a bug
that allowed early invocation when pushback was forced down.
However, it also turned activation and re-activation time
additive again (ie. invocation could only happen after
r+a ms instead of after r ms)

A new AreaBasedEdge is introduced which supports the Edge functionality
by just connecting to the globalPointerChanged signal of
InputRedirection.
The AreaBasedEdges are used if KWin's operation mode is not X11 only.
This unfortunately required to change the datatype of the list of edges
in ScreenEdges. It used to be specific on the inheriting class.
This provides a new protocol intended to be used by auto-hiding panels
to make use of the centralized screen edges. To use it a Client can
set an X11 property of type _KDE_NET_WM_SCREEN_EDGE_SHOW to KWin.
As value it takes:
* 0: top edge
* 1: right edge
* 2: bottom edge
* 3: left edge
KWin will hide the Client (hide because unmap or minimize would break
it) and create an Edge. If that Edge gets triggered the Client is shown
again and the property gets deleted. If the Client doesn't border the
specified screen edge the Client gets shown immediately so that we
never end in a situation that we cannot unhide the auto-hidden panel
again. The exact process is described in the documentation of
ScreenEdges. The Client can request to be shown again by deleting the
property.
If KWin gets restarted the state is read from the property and it is
tried to create the edge as described.
As this is a KWin specific extension we need to discuss what it means
for Clients using this feature with other WMs: it does nothing. As
the Client gets hidden by KWin and not by the Client, it just doesn't
get hidden if the WM doesn't provide the feature. In case of an
auto-hiding panel this seems like a good solution given that we don't
want to hide it if we cannot unhide it. Of course there's the option
for the Client to provide that feature itself and if that's wanted we
would need to announce the feature in the _NET_SUPPORTED atom. At the
moment that doesn't sound like being needed as Plasma doesn't want to
provide an own implementation.
The implementation comes with a small test application showing how
the feature is intended to be used.

The define KWIN_SINGLETON adds to a class definition:
public:
static Foo *create(QObject *parent = 0);
static Foo *self() { return s_self; }
protected:
explicit Foo(QObject *parent = 0);
private:
static Foo *s_self;
There is an additional define KWIN_SINGLETON_VARIABLE to set a different
name than s_self.
The define KWIN_SINGLETON_FACTORY can be used to generate the create
method. It expands to:
Foo *Foo::s_self = 0;
Foo *Foo::create(QObject *parent)
{
Q_ASSERT(!s_self);
s_self = new Foo(parent);
return s_self;
}
In addition there are defines to again set a different variable name and
to create an object of another inheriting class.
All the classes currently using this pattern are adjusted to use these
new defines. In a few places the name was adjusted. E.g. in Compositor
the factory method was called createCompositor instead of create.

With Qt5 QCursor does no longer provide ::handle() which was used to
set a cursor on a native XWindow for which we do not have a QWidget.
Also KWin has had for quite some time an optimized version to get the
cursor position without doing XQueryPointer each time ::pos() is called.
These two features are merged into a new class Cursor providing more or
less the same API as QCursor.
In addition the new class provides a facility to perform mouse polling
replacing the implementations in Compositor and ScreenEdges.
For more information about the new class see the documentation for the
new class in cursor.h.

Corners are still ours (it's a valid use case to still be able to switch
window through e.g. Present Windows even when running a fullscreen app).
How is it done? An Edge can be blocked and does no longer trigger if it
is blocked. For WindowBasedEdges the edge windows get unmapped in the
blocking case and mapped again when the blocking condition is no longer
valid.
The blocking is so far connected to:
* changes of active window
* changes of fullscreen windows
Whenever one of the events occurs it is checked whether there is:
1. an active client
2. it is fullscreen
3. on the same screen as the edge
If this is the case the edge will be blocked, otherwise unblocked.

For each edge an additional "approach" area window is created. When the
mouse enters this approach window, it gets unmapped and a mouse polling
interval is started. If the mouse leaves the approach area again, the
window gets mapped again and the mouse polling is stopped.
During the approaching a signal is emitted with a factor in [0.0,1.0] to
describe how close the mouse is to the edge. 0.0 means far away, 1.0
means triggering the edge. This signal is passed to the effects to allow
using this information. E.g. to provide a glow corner effect or to make
use of it in the cube animation effect to start the animation on desktop
switch.
In fact it already used to be a Singleton as there is just one object
hold by the Singleton Workspace. So let's make it a proper Singleton
following our kind of standard approach of having a ::create factory
method called from Workspace ctor and a ::self to get to the singleton
instance.
The main difference is that the activation of an edge is no longer
broadcasted to all effects and scripts, but instead a passed in slot of
the Effect/Script is invoked.
For this the EffectsHandler API is changed to take the Effect as an
argument to (un)reserveElectricBorder. As callback slot the existing
borderActivated is used.
In addition the ScreenEdge monitors the object for beeing destroyed and
unregisters the the edge automatically. This removes the need from the
Effect to call unregister in the dtor.

This rewrite is mostly motivated by the need to handle multi screen
setups correctly. That is have edges per screen and not for the combined
geometry. Also porting from XLib to XCB has been a motivation for the
rewrite.
The design of the new ScreenEdge handling is described in the
documentation of ScreenEdges in screenedge.h.
In addition the following changes have been performed:
* move configuration from Options to ScreenEdge
* add screen edge information to Workspace::supportInformation (obviously
replaces what had been read from Options)
* have Workspace hold a pointer to ScreenEdges instead of an object
* forward declaration of ScreenEdges in workspaces.h, this explains the
seemingly unrelated changes of just another include in some files

Main motivation for this change except the fact that it doesn't belong
into Workspace is that the screen edges got updated from within setting
the desktop layout which got removed with the introduction of the
VirtualDesktopManager.
The ScreenEdge now keeps some state to be able to correctly unreserve the
electric borders when changes in the configuration are performed. There
is still room for improvement as there are still some deep function calls
from within reconfiguring in Workspace.

ScreenEdge is changed to emit a signal whenever a screen edge
got activated without an action or effect taking care of it.
A Script can reserve one to many callbacks for an edge and the
callback get's triggered whenever the signal is emitted. On
deconstruction of the Script the edge is unreserved again.

Since the method destroy() was called only from one location in the code
followed by update(), the funtionality has been moved to the method update()
which now takes an boolean argument 'force'. This argument is false by default
and set to true only at that location where destroy() was called formerly.
The code was updated to use a QVector for the screen edge windows instead of
an ordinary Window array. The getter method windows() was updated to return
now this QVector.
In the method propagateClients() in layers.cpp the newWindowStack QVector is
filled by iteration through the screen edge windows and only adding Windows that
are not None.
Since the functions were moved from Workspace to its own class ScreenEdge
and the functionality was formerly called ElectricWindows, the functions still
had the old names. They are now consistenly renamed without redundand naming.
The function calls were updated as well in all classes where ScreenEdge is used.
The initialization was done in class Workspace before but is now
moved to class ScreenEdge in its own init() method. Is is called from
Workspace at the same position where the initialization took place before.
Since the functionality of screen edge handling was moved to its own class,
the screen edge windows are now provided by the getter method screenEdgeWindows().
The new getter method screenEdgeWindows() returns a reference to a QVector,
which includes the screen edge windows.
The Workspace method propagateClients() implemented in layers.cpp needs these
screen edge windows to restack the windows. The code was also modified to use
QVector instead of a Window array.
A new getter method screenEdgeWindows() is provided by class ScreenEdge
since the screen edge windows are needed in class Workspace in the function
propagateClients() which is implemented in layers.cpp
This commit change the screen edge function calls to be called in the
new class ScreenEdge. The old methods are still in Workspace and will
be removed in a further commit.
This initial commit introduces a two new files screenedge.h and screenedge.cpp which cover a new
class ScreenEdge. The code for screen edge handling was copied from Workspace to this class.
Workspace had to be extended by a getter for movingWindow. CMakeList was updated to build the
new class.
