Creating an EffectFrame requires I/O which takes on my system
during testing between 10 and 40 msec. Also it needs a little
bit of memory.
This changes moves out the creation of EffectFrames at Effect
load till the Effect actually needs the EffectFrame. E.g. if a
user does not filter in PresentWindows there is no need to ever
create it.
BoxSwitch effect is ignored as it should be dropped for 4.9.

Cube effect loads 0 to 2 textures which has been
performed during configuration. This change delays
loading the textures till cube is activated for the
first time and the loading from file is moved into
a thread.
This means that for a very short time the texture
is not yet visible, but this is not a problem as
the cube animates from fully opaque starting state.
So during the loading the texture would not be
visible anyway.

This makes kwin in OpenGL2 mode more coherent with kwin_gles.
Despite some fullscreen effects they should now make the same
(pure) OpenGL calls.

Some old restructuring caused -DKWIN_HAVE_OPENGLES to no longer be
passed to the compiler, causing OpenGL-specific code to be built
while the libraries to link it were not available.

For the normal TabBox the TabBoxClient's icon method is
adjusted to use the "user-desktop" icon instead of the
window icon.
For the effects a method to set the caption is extended
to also set the icon on the caption frame.

FlipSwitch can be navigated with up and down keys as well
as left/right and CoverSwitch only with left and right
keys while Alt+Tab is used.

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.
This reduces the repaints in cases where several blur regions are
stacked on top of each other (e.g. oxygen-transparent) and the topmost
layer needs to be updated (e.g. a blurry window is moved).
The old blur version wrongly marked a cache region as valid with the
reason that this region would never become visible. It didnt matter
because the only case that this region could become visible was a
movement of the window on top, which back then would have forced a
workspace repaint of that region and as such would have invalidated
the cache anyway. With the introduction of addLayerRepaint the
last point is no longer true and we have to track the valid cache
regions more carefully.
This patch adds a new function Toplevel::addLayerRepaint, that in contrast
to addWorkspaceRepaint does not invalidate every blur texture cache that
overlaps with that region. As the name suggests it rather invalidates the
to the window associated layer at that position. This is especially useful
in the case of move/resize events in combination with oxygen-transparent,
where the altered window is almost always the topmost window and the blur
texture cache of the windows underneath are unchanged.
For the case of fully opaque windows the behaviour of addLayerRepaint
and addWorkspaceRepaint should be same.
