This adds a setting to the window options KCM to disable KDE apps
remembering their own window positions on X11, and instead always use
the KWin placement modes.
The setting sets an option in `kdeglobals`, rather than kwinrc, as it is not
a KWin-specific option *per se*. The UI is also hidden on Wayland, as it it
not relevant there because the functionality it disables does not work on
Wayland. Instead, remembering window positions will eventually be implemented
in a different way and affect all windows, not just KDE windows.

more details.
CCBUG: 415150
Summary:
Right now a few of the window placement modes suffer one or more of the following problems:
- Inconsistency between the text shown in the Window Behavior and Window Rules KCMs
- Title does not indicate what it does
- Awkward wording
- Lack of unity in grammatical mood between the different modes
This patch fixes these issues by improving the strings and standardizing on the descriptive mood:
- Smart -> Minimal Overlapping
- Maximizing -> Maximized
- Cascade -> Cascaded
- Zero-Cornered -> In Top-Left Corner
Strings are also unified between the window behavior and window rules KCMs, and docbooks are adjusted accordingly.

Summary:
This has been commented out since 2014, I doubt it will come back.
This is a big amount of code, maintenance will be easier without it.

The heuristic checks whether there is something which looks like a
tag before the first line break. So let's use a <br> instead of a \n
for the first line break.
