Summary:
Rational: unredirect fullscreen windows is a weird beast. It's intended
to make fullscreen windows "faster" by not compositing that screen. But
that doesn't really work as KWin jumps out of that condition pretty
quickly. E.g. whenever a tooltip window is shown. KWin itself has a
better functionality by supporting to block compositing completely.
The complete code was full of hacks around it to try to ensure that
things don't break.
Overall unredirect fullscreen has always been the odd one. We had it
because a compositor needs to have it, but it never got truly integrated.
E.g. effects don't interact with it properly so that some things randomly
work, others don't. Will it trigger the screenedge, probably yes, but
will it show the highlight: properly no.
By removing the functionality we finally acknowledge that this mode is
not maintained and has not been maintained for years and that we do not
intend to support it better in future. Over the years we tried to make
it more and more hidden: it's disabled for Intel GPUs, because it used
to crash KWin. It's marked as an "expert" option, etc.
It's clearly something we tried to hide from the user that it exists.
For Wayland the whole unredirect infrastructure doesn't make sense
either. There is no such thing as "unredirecting". We might make use
of passing buffers directly to the underlying stack, but that will be
done automatically when we know it can be done, not by some magic is
this a window of specific size.
Test Plan:
Compiles, cannot really test as I am an Intel user who never
had that working.

Summary:
The selection of whether GLX or EGL should be used doesn't work in
practice due to the following reasons:
* Intel/EGL/X11 results in rendering errors
* NVIDIA still doesn't support EGL
* OpenGLES forces to EGL (combobox only one entry)
* Wayland forces to EGL (combobox only one entry)
Offering the selection only offers the user a way to destroy the
system. We get too many bug reports about rendering errors and we
get too many complaints about this not working properly on social
media. E.g.: "The Meh: EGL mode causes bugs in the launcher"
The configuration interface showed a warning when selecting it, but
apparently users ignore warnings like "might be broken". If that's the
case let's better remove the option.
If users really want this they can still enable it manually through
editing the config file or through the env variable.
Change intended for Plasma/5.7 branch - I'm sick of users complaining
about it!

Summary:
KWin needs the plugin id of the breeze decoration plugin. Instead
of hard coding that it's now resolved through an optional dependency.
If the optional dependency is not available, the default is adjusted
to aurorae/plastik.

Summary:
It looks like something was forgotten here - there is
a completely empty body for an if statement that checks
whether the pointer is null.
So this might not be the desired way to fix this.
Should m_lastCreatedSettings be instantiated instead?

Searching for "animation speed" now points to the Compositing KCM, where
the animation speed setting is, instead of the Destkop Effects KCM,
where it was before.
Same for compositing, OpenGL, XRender and video settings

The dialog only had a "Close" button but the text was only transfered in accepted()
Also fix the position of the QDialogButtonBox which is swapped and so the buttons appear at the top.

All pointer related code is moved into a new class called
PointerInputRedirection.
The main idea is to simplify the code and make it easier to maintain.
Therefore also a few changes in the setup were performed:
* before init() is called, no processing is performed
* init() is only called on Wayland and after Workspace is created
* init property is set to false once Workspace or WaylandServer is
destroyed
Thus code can operate on the following assumptions:
* Workspace is valid
* WaylandServer is valid
* ScreenLocker integration is used
The various checks whether there is a waylandServer() and whether
there is a seat are no longer needed.
Some of the checks have been reordered to be faster in the most common
use case of using libinput. E.g. whether warping is supported is first
evaluated by the variable bound to whether we have libinput and only if
that is false the backend is checked.
The new class doesn't have signals but invokes the signals provided
by InputRedirection. I didn't want to add new signals as I consider
them as not needed. The areas in KWin needing those signals should
be ported to InputEventFilters.
