Add a new field to EffectData that stores an effect's config module.
We currently determine an effect's configModule using KPluginTrader and the X-KDE-ParentComponents metadata.
IMO it's much more straight forward to let the effect specify its config module directly instead.
The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Summary:
The "Candy" category suffers from some problems:
- It does not need to exist; everything in it is purely appearance-related and could live in the existing "Appearance" category
- The name is inappropriate; "Eye Candy" would be better, but changing it to this has proven controversial in the past
Let's just remove the category and move everything in it into the "Appearance" category.
Test Plan:
Apply and compile
Open Desktop Effects KCM
See that the "Candy" category is no more and the "Appearance" category has more stuff in it

Summary:
The ported effect looks quite similar to the C++ version except one
thing: it works correctly when user activates/deactivates a full
screen effect, for example the Desktop Cube effect.
Other than that, there are no behavioral or visual differences.

Summary:
Now, when the scripting effects API has all required ingredients to port
the Scale effect to JavaScript we finally can do it.
The main rationale for porting this effect to JavaScript is that
scripted effects API lets us focus more on what we want instead of
"how".
Visually, the ported version doesn't deviate from the C++ version.
Test Plan:
* Enable the Scale effect;
* Open/close a window.

Summary:
There were several reasons to rewrite the Minimize Animation effect in
JavaScript: to simplify code and to get rid of full repaints. One could
say that nothing prevents us from calculating the dirty region in
postPaintScreen or postPaintWindow and it is correct, but with the
scripting effects API the dirty region will be calculated for us, so we
can focus more on "what we want" instead of "how".
Visually, the "old" effect and the rewritten one look quite the same.
Except one tiny bit: if a window doesn't have an icon in the task manager,
it won't be animated. The reason for that is the purpose of this effect is
to show where the window will be after it's minimized, if the window
doesn't have icon in the task manager, one can't click at the center of
the screen to unminimize the window.
There is one significant change, the name of the effect was changed to
"Squash". If we put this effect and the Magic lamp effect under "Window
Minimize Animation" category (or if we add some "heading" label), then
the old name and the name of the category would "conflict". The new name
was suggested by Nate Graham and it very closely describes what the
effect does. "Scale" doesn't fit this effect because while a window is
being animated, its aspect ratio is not preserved.

Summary:
The new effect scales windows as they appear and disappear.
As the the most of window animation effects, it is a monolithic effect,
i.e., if you enable scale effect, it will animate *both* the appearing and
disappearing.
The main difference between the Scale effect and the Scale in effect is
that the Scale in effect only animates windows as they appear. There is
no corresponding "the Scale out" effect, which is odd. Other points that
differentiate the Scale effect from the Scale in effect:
* it is more subtle;
* it doesn't animate the log out screen;
* it doesn't conflict with the Fade effect, etc.
... and overall, the Scale effect supersedes the Scale in effect.

While BuiltInEffects has effectData() function, many functions repeat
s_effectData.at(index(effect)), which is what effectData() is doing.
By using effectData(), we'll get rid of those repetitions and maybe make
easier transition to other underlying data structure that stores metadata
for builtin effects.
Test Plan: Compiles, all enabled builtin effects are loaded and working.

Summary:
The effect exports itself to DBus as object "/ColorPicker" and provides
an own interface "org.kde.kwin.ColorPicker".
It has one exported method to DBus "pick" which returns a QColor. When
invoked an interactive position picking selection is started. If it ends
the effect reads the color value at the picked position from the OpenGL
color buffer.
This implements T4568.

Summary:
The new logout design doesn't want to have the vignetting. Thus the
logout effect itself doesn't make any sense any more. All that would
still be used is the logout blur which can also be provided by the
blur effect nowadays for fullscreen windows. As the new logout is a
fullscreen window it should use that one.
The logout effect did one more thing: it kept the vignetting and the
blur once the user selected logout. Now without the vignetting this
would be weird and again doesn't make much sense any more.
So overall I think it's better to just drop the logout effect and use
blur effect in normal way. Neat side advantage: it will also work on
Wayland out-of-the-box.

Summary:
The new effect is based on the mouse click effect and uses the same
rendering code (this could be improved by merging them better).
Unlike mouse click there is no keyboard shortcut needed to activate:
as soon as the effect is loaded all touch points are visualized.
The visualization creates an animated circle for each touch down
position, motion and up position. The ids are tracked and each touch
id gets the same color. The first ten different touch ids get a
different color. As touch ids are stable the first finger will always
have the same color.

REVIEW: 125686
This change allows to include the effect_builtins.cpp into the build of
e.g. a kcm without having to link against all effects.
The use case for this is when one needs to resolve just the name of an
effect without wanting to hard code the name.
The EffectData in BuiltinEffects is extended by all the data needed for
the desktop effects KCM:
* display name
* comment
* category
* video-url
* exclusive group
* internal
This information is taken directly from the desktop files.
The Built-in effects are now also resolved through the BuiltInEffects
namespace and the KServiceTypeTrader query is adjusted to only find the
scripted effects.
Unfortunately this introduces another round of adding "kwin4_effect_" to
load and save the effects correctly. This will be removed once all KCMs
are adjusted to use the new BuiltInEffects.
Instead of having several hashes with data about the built-in effect,
we use a struct EffectData which contains the name, the enabled by
default state and function pointers to create, supported and check
enabled by default. There is one static vector with all the data
specified which is ordered by the BuiltInEffect enum. Thus an enum value
can be used as an index to the data.
In addition it's no longer resolved around QByteArray, but uses QString.
REVIEW: 117354
For each effect the value from the desktop file is added. This will
allow to query all effects which need to be loaded without looking for
the service files.
The functionality is to check whether the effect should be enabled by
default. It's not about whether the effect is enabled by default. This
is also needed as it's currently still taken from the plugin data.
For each effect there is an enum value. The internal mapping of effect to
create, supported and checkDefault is switched to the enum value, though
the methods for the name based variants are still available.
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.
