wl_shell_surface has been deprecated for quite a long time. Nowadays
most clients use the xdg-shell protocol to create desktop-style user
interface elements.
Summary:
Implement the "foreign" wayland protocol.
A client can export a surface with an unique string as handle,
then another client can refer to that surface and set an own surface as
child of that surface.
Potential use cases are out-of-process dialogs, such as file dialogs,
meant to be used by sandboxed processes that may not have the access
it needs to implement such dialogs.
The handle needs to be shared between the processes with other means,
such as dbus or command line paramenters.
The public api of the server side only tracks parent/child relationships as this is the only data kwin would need it for, the rest of the api is not exported so should be safer from eventual protocol changes
Test Plan:
the autotest works, but has a lot of random crashes when deleting surfaces,
unfortunately backtraces don't tell much and the crashes never occur when running into valgrind
behavior may still be wrong, depending on how the protocol is supposed
to work if more clients try to set the same exported surface as parent

Summary:
The main clever part that's not just boring boiler plate is how we
handle the structure change
A surface now has an XDGSurface which then has a an Xdg TopLevel or a
Xdg Popup
We need to fit this into the public API which assumes a surface has a
Surface or a Popup.
The old Surface is similar to the new TopLevel.
The shoehorning works by relying on the fact that a surface without a
role is pretty useless.
Clients create the surface implicitly with the toplevel or implicitly
with the popup.
The server only announced it has a new "XdgSurface" when it gets a new
zxdg_surface_get_toplevel.
----
Popup decisions:
- On popup creation the server should copy the current info from the
positioner and then it gets deleted. Given kwaylands job is to keep
state, we expose all these parameter via popup.
- Due to this positioner is not exposed as a resource anywhere.
- Server API is 100% backwards compatiable.
i.e new code will work identically with v5 clients.
- Client API is not. Grabs are called separately from the constructor,
and the parent surface changed to an xdgsurface, not a raw surface.
V5 code still works as-is, just not with the new constructors.
It seemed better to match the v6 (and what will be the stable v7) than
to try and do hacks and lose functionality.
Given the client needs to change the code to opt into V6 anyway. I don't
think this is a huge problem.
Test Plan: Current test still passes.

Summary:
Especially for Xwayland windows the compositor might not have a themed
icon name. Resulting in a task manager not having dedicated icons for
Xwayland windows.
This change deprecates the way how a compositor is supposed to set the
window icon. Instead of passing the themed icon name, it is now supposed to
pass the QIcon. In case it's a themed icon the existing way to pass to
the client is used.
Otherwise a new event is used to inform the client that there is an icon
- no data is transmitted at this point. The client can then create a
file descriptor and pass it to the compositor. The compositor serializes
the icon into the file descriptor and the client can read from it. This
all happens transparently on client side there is no api change at all.
The writing and reading of the icon is done in a thread. Due to that
Qt5::Concurrent is now a required dependency instead of an optional
dependency.

Summary:
Instead of hard depending on the include of linux/input.h we check
whether that include file exists and properly ifdef all usages.
Unfortunately there is no replacement for those parts which do mapping
of input event codes.

Summary:
Creates a PlasmaShellSurface and allows to set the different roles
through command line argument.
Needed to verify that KWin properly handles the notification type.

The test application creates a sub-surface tree consisting of overall
three surfaces:
* blue main surface
* red sub surface
* green sub surface to the red sub surface
All surfaces are in synchronized mode. There is a timer to turn the
green surface into yellow after five seconds.
Uses QWidgets to render a very small UI.
* lists each Output
* for each output shows whether dpms is supported
* and which dpms mode it's in
* and provides a button to change the mode
This change demonstrates how one can install a custom event dispatcher
before creating the QGuiApplication and how to process Wayland events
using the event dispatcher to e.g. start an Xwayland server prior to
creating the application.
It also allows to use
--platform wayland
on the test application. The wayland QPA plugin will connect to the
KWayland server started prior to creating the application.
Please note that such a setup will freeze unless QtWayland has commit
1e32e71 [1].

Counter part for the copyClient test app: the pasteClient test app
creates and maps a shell surface and waits for selection announce,
initiates the copy/paste mechanismn and prints out what got pasted.
After success it closes itself.
The test application copyClient creates a ShellSurface, maps it as
fullscreen, renders a green buffer and when it gets pointer focus it
sets "foo" in mimetype "text/plain" into the selection.
This test application "testRenderingServer" is able to start a
Wayland server and uses a QWidget to render the "scene". It manages
ShellSurfaces and renders them on the QWidget in a very static way.
Furthermore input events (key, pointer, wheel) are forwarded to the
top most Surface.
This test server is able to support kwin_wayland as a client, but
weston's test application in latest release fail due to missing
xdg_shell support.
