Summary:
So far KWin started to filter out the escape key as soon as it gets
pressed. This was done by unsetting keyboard focus. The idea was to
reset keyboard focus when it is only a short press and that then the
keyboard state is correct for the application. But in practice this
does not work. The only application currently supporting pointer
constraints (Xwayland) does not do anything on a key which is pressed
when gaining keyboard focus. The result is escape not working in
pointer constrained Xwayland windows.
This change addresses this problem by changing the interaction to only
unset keyboard focus when our break constraints condition is met. This
should also result in the application not handling the key release, but
it means it gets the key press. Unfortunately I don't have a good way
to test.

Summary:
This is a preparation step for no longer creating a socket in the tests
and slightly simplifies the init test code.

Summary:
There are two types of constraints supported:
1. Pointer confinement
2. Pointer locking
In the case of confinement the pointer is confined to a given region of
the surface. This is comparable to general operation where the pointer
is confined to the screen region.
In the second case the pointer gets locked. That means it cannot move at
all. No further position updates are provided, only relative motion
events can go to the application. There is a hint about cursor position
update on unlock which is not yet implemented in KWayland::Server, thus
also not in this change.
The implementation in KWin grants the requests for pointer constraints
when the pointer enters the constrained region, either by pointer
movement or by e.g. stacking order changes. There is no confirmation
from user required to enter that mode. But we want to show an OSD when
the pointer gets constrained, this is not yet implemented, though.
Breaking an active constraint is relatively easy. E.g. changing the
stacking order will break the constraint if another surface is under the
cursor. Also (in case of confinement) moving the pointer to an
overlapping window breaks the confinement. But as soon as one moves the
pointer back to the window a constraint might get honoured again.
To properly break there is a dedicated event filter. It listens for a
long press of the Escape key. If hold for 3sec the pointer constraint is
broken and not activated again till the pointer got moved out of the
window. Afterward when moving in the pointer might activate again.
The escape filter ensures that the key press is forwarded to the
application if it's a short press or if another key gets pressed during
the three seconds. If the three seconds way fires, the later escape
release is not sent to the application.
This basic interaction is also ensured through an added auto test.
This change implements T4605.
