Objects of AnimationData can be instantiated by scripts and expose
all relevant data as properties, so that the ScriptedEffect can
construct the meta value out of it.
This is probably something that could be done a little bit better.
Still need to think about it, so API not yet final.

Our first effect written in JavaScript to replace an existing C++
effect. Fade effect has been chosen as it has shown to be problematic
in the past and would have needed a migration to AnimationEffect anyway.
The Plasma package structure contains a subdirectory "contents".
Furthermore we have to use locate instead of locateLocal to find
system wide installed packages and adding some debug output for
the case that the script cannot be found.
The scripted effects can define their configuration through a
KConfigXT file in the same way as a packaged Plasmoid. Because of
that the ScriptedEffect also uses the Plasma::ConfigLoader to load
and manage the configuration. The config group used for the scripted
effect is like any other effect the "Effect-name" group.
In difference to the Plasmoid JavaScript API effects are not allowed
to change their configuration.
Simplifies the API. An FPx2 can be defined as a single real value
or a complex object with two real values:
{
value1: 1.0,
value2: 2.0
}
For a default ctor a null value can be used.
Scripted effects follow the Plamsoid package structure and the effect
loader recognizes a scripted effect at the according line in the desktop
file. If it is a scripted effect a different loader is used which
instantiates an object of the ScriptedEffect class. This class inherits
the AnimationEffect and exports the animate method and the EffectsHandler.
Client has a property for demands attention and Workspace
is emitting a signal whenever the demands attention state
of any Client changes.
