New "Move To Screen" menu is shown after the "Move To Desktop"
menu if there are multiple screens and the window can be moved
to another screen. Menu contains one radio button for each
screen.
Selecting an entry sends the Client to the selected screen.

The supportInformation is extended to also read the properties
on all effects. In addition each effect can be queried just for
itself through D-Bus, e.g.:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformationForEffect kwin4_effect_blur
All effects are extended to provide their configured and read
settings through properties. In some cases also important
runtime information is exposed.

As discussed on the mailinglist [1] the tiling support is
removed from KWin. The main reasons for this step are:
* it is unmaintained
* it is a mode not used by any of the core KWin team
* original developer said at Akademy 2012 that he is not
interested in picking up the work again
* tiling has quite some bugs, e.g. multi screen not supported
* is conflicting with other concepts in KWin, e.g. activities
There is ongoing work to get tiling supported through a KWin
script, which is a preferred way as it does not influence the
existing C++ code base.

Effects can specify their minimum requirements in their
desktop file:
* OpenGL
* OpenGL 2 (GLSL required)
* Shaders (either ARB or OpenGL 2)
The configuration module uses this information in combination
with which backend KWin is currently using. So if e.g. OpenGL
is used and an effect requires OpenGL 2 a detailed error
message can be showed that OpenGL 2 is required.

Instead of getting the information from CompositingPrefs
the running KWin instance is queried through D-Bus.
In general the running KWin should have more information
about whether Compositing will work or not.
This means the kcm no longer has to link OpenGL.
REVIEW: 104753
Detecting CompositingPrefs invokes an external program. Waiting
for this can be moved in a second thread.
Due to the introduction of the thread the initialization order
of KWin is changed: the WindowManager is initialized before the
Compositor. Interestingly this makes KWin felt more responsive
as the screen is not frozen for several seconds.
REVIEW: 104579
Workspace emits a signal when the initialization finished and
interested parties can connect to this signal to perform post
init actions. That is everything that does not have to be
performed to have a completely working Window Manager.
As an example loading the scripts is moved into this post init
phase.

Workspace::addDeleted swaps the Client with the Deleted in the
stacking order. For Unmanaged windows the Deleted is appended
to the stacking order which is the same layer.
When the deleted is closed the window is removed from the stacking
order.
The result is that a deleted window is no longer raised above all
other clients.

BUG: 158262
FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
The common usage of stacking order is to loop through
the list and find a specific Client. All these usages
still need to find a Client. For that the loops are
adjusted to first cast the Toplevel into a Client and
continue if the current item is no Client.
At the moment all entries in the stacking order should
still be Clients as the Deleted are not yet added.
The method is nowhere inside KWin called, nor used as a slot.
It's also not used from any of the KCMs and the method does not
do what the name says. It just shows and hides a window as big
as the screen geometry.
REVIEW: 104418
Client has a property for demands attention and Workspace
is emitting a signal whenever the demands attention state
of any Client changes.

This adds extensive support information about the running instance
by printing out all used options, the compositing information
including GL platform, loaded effects and active effects.
The debug output can be retrieved through D-Bus:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation
or through a KWin Script (use desktop console):
print(workspace.supportInformation())

It previously worked only when struts changed, this makes it work
e.g. when moving a window between desktops that have different
struts, or when sending a windows between differently sized screens.
Instead of calculating the elapsed time from epoch clock, using
a QElapsedTimer as well as reusing the timer object instead of
creating a new one in the scene each frame.

A build option is introduced to file CMakeLists.txt. Classes Tiling,
Tile and TilingLayouts are only built if the option is set to ON. #ifdef's
are added to the classes where functions of the excluded classes are called.
