Summary:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

Summary:
Depending on whether the underlying platform supports offscreen surfaces,
QOffscreenSurface may create an invisible QWindow. In our case that's the
case, for each offscreen surface a native window is created. This may
lead to some funky results related to window decorations, see bug 407612.
There are several ways to implement offscreen surfaces - either use pbuffers
or utilize a surfaceless context extension. For the sake of simplicity
this change sticks with pbuffers, but it's a good idea to support both
methods.

Summary:
Using the Wayland protocol for OpenGL is no longer used or useful. KWin
internal windows only use OpenGL through QtQuick. We either have the
sharing context (KWin uses OpenGL for compositing) or we have the
QPainter compositor which also turns QtQuick to use software renderer.
Thus a situation where the Wayland platform context is useful doesn't
exist any more. Removing it helps getting the QPA plugin Wayland free.
Test Plan:
Run nested KWin triggering Outline once with OpenGL and once
with QPainter compositor.

Ideally KWin would not depend on private headers... but at least we can
remove unused ones.
Test Plan: still builds, I don't see anything requiring the header.

Summary:
Qt does not like having no screens. Both Qt XCB and Wayland QPAs have
systems pretend there's always at least 1 screen
present.
Kwin already uses a dummy screen on startup, this patch reinserts the
dummy screen if the platform states that all real screens are removed.

Summary:
The test DontCrashUseractionsMenu (Waylandonly) found an issue in our
screen handling implementation in the QPA. The code exposed a short time
frame between the dummy screen getting destroyed and the first screen
being added. This could result in a crash of KWin.
There is actually no need to implement Screen on top of Wayland screen.
KWin has all the knowledge, so we can also base this on top of the
Screens API.
Advantages:
* no delays due to Wayland roundtrips
* handle screen getting removed (was a TODO)
* handle resolution changes (was a TODO)
The new implementation has a disadvantage that it destroys and readds
all screens whenever something around the screen changes. This shouldn't
be an issue in practice as it's only for the internal QPA and thus only
affects KWin internal windows which is placed in global coordinates
anyway. If it turns out to be a problem we need to track better the
screen changes - so far those were not tracked at all.
Test Plan: Run a few unit tests which change screens

On build.kde.org the autotests started to crash on tear down due to a
newer Wayland library. The reason is that the KWayland::Client::Outputs
are destroyed after the internal Wayland connection is destroyed.
This change parents the created Outputs to the Registry like the other
objects. To ensure that the KWin::QPA::Screen doesn't have a problem
with that, it is changed to a QPointer - nullptr checks are already in
place.
Hopefully that will fix the crashes on build.kde.org, but there is a
chance that more errors are hidden.
Summary:
So far SharingPlatformContext was only used if the OpenGL context
supports EGL_KHR_surfaceless_context. If not supported, KWin tried to
create a context through the Wayland API. Unfortunately on hwcomposer
platform this results in a crash as libhybris only supports the init
of EGLDisplay for one native platform.
This change tries to also use the SharingPlatformContext if there is
an OpenGL context in general. It reuses the native EGLSurface created
for the compositing scene and makes its own OpenGL context current on
that surface, too. As KWin creates an FBO, it never renders to it, so
it shouldn't matter at all.
In order to prevent EGL_BAD_MATCH errors when making Qt's OpenGL context
current also the EGLConfig from the scene is used to create the context.

We didn't check whether creating the QPlatfromInputContext worked and
accessed the m_inputContext unconditionally which obviously crashed.
Now the connects related to QInputMethods are not setup if we failed
to create the QPlatfromInputContext.

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.

Qt has problems initializing everything correctly if there is no screen
at startup. E.g. the breeze widget style tries to initialize some pixmaps
and this fails. In worst case hitting asserts in Qt (debug build).
This change creates a dummy screen which gets destroyed as soon as there
is a real screen.

ASAN righly complained: we need to delete our Wayland objects before
we destroy the internal client connection. Solved by better setting
parent relationships in the QPA plugin and correctly delete objects
in destroy of internal client connection.
We no longer need to have the event dispatcher created before starting
the QApplication, thus we can leave it to the QPA plugin to creat it.
Also we don't need to implement our own dispatcher any more but can
use one from Qt5PlatformSupport as we link it anyways. The special
need for dispatching the WaylandServer is no longer needed as we can
explicitly dispatch it from the QPA plugin if needed.
This introduces an own QPA plugin for KWin. QtWayland's plugin is not
a good solution for KWin as QtWayland is meant for Wayland clients and
not for a Wayland server. Given that it makes more sense to have a very
minimal QPA plugin which supports the use cases we actually have.
With our own QPA plugin we should be able to improve the following
areas:
* no need to create Wayland server before QApplication
* Qt::BypassWindowManagerHint can be supported
* no workaround for creating OpenGL context in main thread
* sharing OpenGL context with Qt
* OpenGL context for Qt on libhybris backend
The plugin supports so far the following features:
* creating a QPlatformWindow using KWayland::Client (ShellSurface)
* creating a QPlatformBackingStore using a ShmPool
* creating a QPlatformOpenGLContext with Wayland::EGL
* or creating a QPlatformOpenGLContext which shares with KWin's scene
* creating a QPlatformScreen for each KWayland::Client::Output
* QPlatformNativeInterface compatible to QtWayland
