Summary:
There are several reasons why I "re-wrote" the Glide effect:
* it doesn't work correctly because it suffers from undesired perspective distortions: {F5914378}
The worst part is that windows are distorted so much on multiple monitor setups that it's hard to say whether that's glide animation.
* window close animation is not quite intuitive: if the close button is
located at the top and I click it, I would expect that window is
rotated around the bottom edge, not the top; (IMHO)
* it's too much distracting when working on something for quite good
amount of time: e.g. when editing photos, which involves a big number
of different dialogs;
* there are issues with deletion of QTimeLine;
* windows are not gracefully released if some other effect grabs them;
* its code doesn't follow common coding style in KWin.
So, the "new" Glide effect is more subtle, it's possible to have
different rotation edges for window open/close animations, it doesn't
animate special windows(like audio volume feedback), the code is simpler
and readable. Yet, there are some issues with QTimeLine, which are
common to all effects in KWin anyway.

Summary:
By changing all kcfg to have arg="true" we can pass in the same
KSharedConfigPtr into all effects. This allows to have fake config in
the tests and in the planned effect demo mode.
Also it means that we don't have to hardcode the name kwinrc into the
files. In the configs - where we cannot access the effectshandler - we
use the define KWIN_CONFIG which gets generated based on the compile
time arguments.

This removes all the hacks to add kwin4_effect_ to the name of the Effect
and adjusts the desktop files of the effect configuration's parent
component.
Note: the scripted effects still start with kwin4_effect_ prefix.

Instead of using EffectsHandler::sendReloadMessage we generate the dbus
interface in each plugin and call the reconfigure slot directly. That way
it's more type safe and we don't need to link kwineffects from the
configs.

There are no advantages for the effects KCM to have all the effect
config modules in one plugin.
By having a plugin per effect we can use the KPluginTrader to easily
find the configuration plugin for a given effect and load it.
To make this possible the following changes are done:
* config_builtins.cpp is deleted
* add_subdirectory is used for all effects which have a config module
* toplevel CMakeLists.txt contains the sources again for the effects
which have a config module, but effects which don't have a config
module are still included and thus the macro is still used
* plugin created for the config module, name pattern is:
kwin_effectname_config
* plugin installed to ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}/kwin/effects/configs
* desktop file adjusted to new plugin name and keyword removed
* desktop file converted to json as meta data and no longer installed
* Uses K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_WITH_JSON
* Macros for config are dropped from kwineffects.h

* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
