Summary:
Currently, we have only one shell client type - XdgShellClient. We use
it when we are dealing with Wayland clients. But it isn't really a good
idea because we may need to support shell surfaces other than xdg-shell
ones, for example input panel surfaces.
In order to make kwin more extensible, this change replaces all usages
of the XdgShellClient class with the AbstractClient class.
Test Plan: Existing tests pass.

Summary:
In case the hardware is not able to rotate the output for the configured
rotation value do this rotation in a post-process step.
For that rendering the current view into a separate framebuffer bound to a
texture that then gets sampled to the default framebuffer in an additional
rendering pass through a simple shader rotating it.
This allows us to leave the Effects system and internal model-view-projection
matrix untouched. The rotation in the post-processing step is isolated.

Summary:
The GLX backend might need a combination of swap and composite timer events for
continous painting.
The reason for that is that if the buffer age extension is not available we
fall back to copies in case not the whole screen is repainted.
The timer logic is adapted to make this possible in a lean way what cleans up
the Compositor class in several ways.
Test Plan: Tested on X11 (with/without swap events, buffer age enabled) and Wayland.

When initializing a property we loop through the drmModeObjectProperties
object and search for the property by its name.
Once found we create the Property object and there should be not another one
with the same name afterwards. In any case we would leak memory. Therefore just
directly return once the property was found.
This gives us the added benefit that we can put out a warning in case the
property was not found in the loop, what should not happen with the properties
we use.
This is just a code cosmetic change to have the same values internally like the
kernel for the type enum. In the logic there should not be a difference since
the enum values are mapped at runtime.
Summary:
This cleans up some of the code, moves and deletes superfluous functions,

Summary:
KDE is known for having a strong view on the client-side decorations vs
server-side decorations issue. The main argument raised against CSD is
that desktop will look less consistent when clients start drawing window
decorations by themselves, which is somewhat true. It all ties to how
well each toolkit is integrated with the desktop environment.
KDE doesn't control the desktop market on Linux. Another big "player"
is GNOME. Both KDE and GNOME have very polarized views on in which
direction desktop should move forward. The KDE community is pushing more
toward server-side decorations while the GNOME community is pushing
more toward client-side decorations. Both communities have developed
great applications and it's not rare to see a GNOME application being
used in KDE Plasma. The only problem is that these different views are
not left behind the curtain and our users pay the price. Resizing GTK
clients in Plasma became practically impossible due to resize borders
having small hit area.
When a client draws its window decoration, it's more likely that it also
draws the drop-shadow around the decoration. The compositor must know
the extents of the shadow so things like snapping and so on work as
expected. And here lies the problem... While the xdg-shell protocol has
a way to specify such things, the NetWM spec doesn't have anything like
that. There's _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS in the wild, however the problem with
it is that it's a proprietary atom, which is specific only to GTK apps.
Due to that, _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS wasn't implemented because implementing
anything like that would require major changes in how we think about
geometry.
Recent xdg-shell window geometry patches adjusted geometry abstractions
in kwin to such a degree that it's very easy to add support for client
side decorated clients on X11. We just have to make sure that the
X11Client class provides correct buffer geometry and frame geometry when
the gtk frame extents are set.
Even though the X11 code is feature frozen, I still think it's worth
to have _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS support in kwin because it will fix the resize
issues. Also, because KWin/Wayland is unfortunately far from becoming
default, it will help us with testing some implementation bits of the
window geometry from xdg-shell.

Additionally the OR combinations need to be handled in the drm backend at

Summary:
Compositing in X11 was done time shifted, meaning that we paint first, then
wait one vblank interval length and present on prepareRenderingFrame the
previous paint result. This is supposed to make sure we don't miss the vblank
and in case of block till retrace be able to continue issuing commands and
only shortly before next vblank present.
This is counter-intuitiv, not how we do it on Wayland or even on MESA with X.
The reason seems to be that the GLX backend was in the beginning written
against Nvidia proprietary driver which needed this but nowadays even this
driver defaults to non-blocking behavior on buffer swap.
Therefore remove this legacy anomaly fully and directly present after paint.
We then wait one refresh cycle and in the future can optimize this by delaying
the paint and present till shortly before vsync.

Summary:
Selecting not to vsync does not make sense for an X11 compositor. In the end
we want clients to be able to present async if they want to but the compositor
is supposed to send swaps with vsync to the XServer in order to not generate
tearing artifacts.
There was also a detection logic which did some questionable things in case
vsync was not available. I don't think this is necessary at all since we can
just always run a timer to present with or without vsync.

Summary:
It is not clear what the advantage of triple buffering is for KWin. An X11
compositor is meant to swap buffers once every monitor cycle. For that triple
buffering is not necessary.
The functionality is not maintained, does not reliably work as displayed by
the existence of an environment variable to force some behavior, pollutes
our code and every compositing-related problem that might be mitigated with
triple buffering should find a simpler and more fitting solution with other
means.
There is one caveat which is if we shall block for retrace. We set it
currently according to the result of the swap profiler and in the most common
case with double buffering it is set to true. But on Nvidia systems this might
be actual the wrong behavior. Instead of trying to work around this ignore
the issue for now and move the overall architecture to something less complex
by presenting after paint how we do it in the Wayland DRM backend and with
double buffering on GLX (although this is at the moment also borken because
we actually present then twice).
