This includes the delegates, the layout configuration for the delegates
and the custom view for the TabBox.
This can now finally be done as desktop tabbox is based on QML, too.
DBus method to embedd the TabBox into another window. It follows
the geometry changes and keeps a defined offset to the borders of
the parent window.
Required for Plasma Active's window strip.
By default clip is enabled. This means that if the thumbnail would
overlap the "parent" window, it does not get rendered at all. If set
to false it will always be rendered. This is required for window strip
where the complete screen width is used, so overlap does not matter.
This is useful in combination of non-modal TabBox through DBus and
window-strip layout. With DBus the non-modal TabBox can be started
and selecting any item on the strip will end TabBox again.
Available through DBus. Be aware that this does not make much
sense, as there is no way to end TabBox mode except through the
DBus interface and this does not yet select the selected window.
Therefore TabBox is changed to be controlled without pressing a
modifier key. Tab and Backtab are valid keys now which can be
used to navigate in the list and return, enter and space can be
used to close the box (and select the client).
The TabBox is exported as object /TabBox on the kwin interface
providing start and close methods and signal when the TabBox got
closed.
Thanks to Iceweasel for providing a maximum icon of 48x48 which
looks really bad when upscaled to 128x128. Orig icon is placed
in the center of a new pixmap in requested size.
* BoxSwitch users are migrated to new QML TabBox thumbnails layout
* Thumbnail layout is new default (as before was BoxSwitch)
* Removed obsoleted settings from TabBox config
A new QML item "ThumbnailItem" is registered to the TabBox. The
C++ implementation finds the EffectWindow of the TabBox and adds
itself to the EffectWindow.
While rendering the EffectWindow the information for all registered
ThumbnailItems are extracted and the thumbnail is rendered on top
of the EffectWindow.
This has obvious limitations like you cannot put other QML items
on top of the thumbnail. Nevertheless it works well enough to
be a possible replacement for e.g. BoxSwitch effect.
When compositing is disabled an icon is rendered instead of the
Thumbnail.
One TabBox Layout inspired by BoxSwitch Effect is added. For the
KCM small pre-rendered items are used.

All the default layouts (informative, compact, text, small and big icons)
are rewritten in QML and replace the ListView used before. The old code
is still around for the desktop switching modes which are not yet ported.
Next steps include to update the configuration module to not show now
obsoleted settings as well as providing a better way to choose the layout.

When effects are active we never need the "classic" TabBoxView.
Nevertheless it was always created when KWin started up. By
delaying the creation some ressources should be saved if the user
only uses effects.
REVIEW: 101897
This should improve the KWin startup time as some IO is moved
into another thread. Till the config is loaded the TabBox blocks
all signals to activate the TabBox, but it is unlikely that alt+tab
is tried to be used before KWin is completely started.
This change unduplicates some code and merges it into one class
allowing us to use an replacement effect for the outline in
future.

Make icon sizes 64x64 and 128x128 available in KWin and use it in TabBox for large icon modes.
So no more ugly upscaling.

This change also includes some visual updates which fixes the black corners issue for non composited tabbox (no idea why), the hughe black border in the prview is still visible (also no idea why).
