Summary:
This change reduces the windowing system specific code pathes. Instead
of checking whether we are on X11 or Wayland to decide whether
compositing is required, we just ask the Platform.
The default is true, only x11 standalone allows to not require
compositing.

Removes a diversion between X11 and Wayland. The base class Platform
creates an instance of class Edge with plugin implementations being
able to create a different type.
The X11StandalonePlugin does that and creates a WindowBasedEdge. For
this the implementation of WindowBasedEdge is moved from screenedges
into the plugin.
Unfortunately an ifdef is needed to make the screenedge test still
work as expected. This should be improved in future, e.g. have a good
way to load the platform plugin from the tests.

Summary:
The EglOnXBackend is no longer needed in the core. It's only needed by
the two x11 platform plugins. To best share it, it's moved into a common
directory and compiled into a static library which in turn is linked by
the two plugins.

Summary:
It's only needed by the standalone x11 variant. This allows us to
simplify the creation of the OpenGLBackend: it's created by the
platform plugin - we don't need custom complex logic.

By moving XRandrScreens the creation of screens gets simplified a lot
as there is no need to have windowing system specific init code. It all
just goes through the platform.
This also marks the point where the first X11 specific code is removed
from kwin_wayland.

The plugin does not much. It's the most basic plugin we can have to
be loaded from kwin_x11.
Unlike the wayland platform plugins it gets installed to:
org.kde.kwin.platforms
Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
