c7d986c7fe [kwin] Remove the legacy OpenGL 1 compositing backend
KWin already has a de facto OpenGL 2 dependency through QML. Combined
with the fact that the OpenGL 1 backend is basically unmaintained and
also unused, it's better to remove it for the new major release.

This change includes:
 * Removal of cmake option KWIN_BUILD_OPENGL_1_COMPOSITING
 * Removal of KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 compile option and all code
   ifdef'ed with it (partially removal of if-else constructs)
 * Removal of CompositingType::OpenGL1Compositing (flags are kept
   as a core flag should get introduced)
 * Driver recommendation for OpenGL1Compositing changed to XRender
   (should be evaluated whether the drivers can provide GL2)
 * Removal of configuration option "GLLegacy"
 * Removal of fooMatrix function in kwinglutils
 * Removal of ARBBlurShader
 * Removal of legacy code path in GLVertexBuffer
 * Removal of GLShaderManager::disable
 * if-blocks with ShaderManager::instance()->isValid() removed

76efe517a7 Turn built-in effects into a library kwin links against
As all effects have always been compiled into the same .so file it's
questionable whether resolving the effects through a library is useful
at all. By linking against the built-in effects we gain the following
advantages:
* don't have to load/unload the KLibrary
* don't have to resolve the create, supported and enabled functions
* no version check required
* no dependency resolving (effects don't use it)
* remove the KWIN_EFFECT macros from the effects

All the effects are now registered in an effects_builtins file which
maps the name to a factory method and supported or enabled by default
methods.

During loading the effects we first check whether there is a built-in
effect by the given name and make a shortcut to create it through that.
If that's not possible the normal plugin loading is used.

Completely unscientific testing [1] showed an improvement of almost 10
msec during loading all the effects I use.

[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.

b7be3cb621 Better handling for making the compositing OpenGL context current
With QtQuick2 it's possible that the scene graph rendering context either
lives in an own thread or uses the main GUI thread. In the latter case
it's the same thread as our compositing OpenGL context lives in. This
means our basic assumption that between two rendering passes the context
stays current does not hold.

The code already ensured that before we start a rendering pass the
context is made current, but there are many more possible cases. If we
use OpenGL in areas not triggered by the rendering loop but in response
to other events the context needs to be made current. This includes the
loading and unloading of effects (some effects use OpenGL in the static
effect check, in the ctor and dtor), background loading of texture data,
lazy loading after first usage invoked by shortcut, etc. etc.

To properly handle these cases new methods are added to EffectsHandler
to make the compositing OpenGL context current. These calls delegate down
into the scene. On non-OpenGL scenes they are noop, but on OpenGL they go
into the backend and make the context current. In addition they ensure
that Qt doesn't think that it's QOpenGLContext is current by calling
doneCurrent() on the QOpenGLContext::currentContext(). This unfortunately
causes an additional call to makeCurrent with a null context, but there
is no other way to tell Qt - it doesn't notice when a different context
is made current with low level API calls. In the multi-threaded
architecture this doesn't matter as ::currentContext() returns null.

A short evaluation showed that a transition to QOpenGLContext doesn't
seem feasible. Qt only supports either GLX or EGL while KWin supports
both and when entering the transition phase for Wayland, it would become
extremely tricky if our native platform is X11, but we want a Wayland
EGL context. A future solution might be to have a "KWin-QPA plugin" which
uses either xcb or Wayland and hides everything from Qt.

The API documentation is extended to describe when the effects-framework
ensures that an OpenGL context is current. The effects are changed to
make the context current in cases where it's not guaranteed. This has
been done by looking for creation or deletion of GLTextures and Shaders.
If there are other OpenGL usages outside the rendering loop, ctor/dtor
this needs to be changed, too.

388944314a Drop QPixmap ctor of XRenderPicture
Was a todo to remove it as it's just using a toImage. Removing this
ctor should make it for the user more obvious that put image is used.

b01f5684c5 Remove not needed includes from kwineffect header files
Only include what's actually needed in the headers. This causes of course
some additional needed includes in some implementation files.

7e10fe524f Fix warnings and compile errors when building with XRender Compositing disabled
ScreenEdgesEffect failed compiling, mouseclick and zoom are yelling
warnings.

Compiling is tested with XRender enabled, for the disabled test I need to
wait for my Jenkins installation ;-)

3d5f962566 XRender implementation for ScreenEdges Glow Effect
More or less straight forward port from OpenGL to XRender. There is one small difference:
the corners are not upscaled.
