Summary:
The Effect class is extended by three new virtual methods:
* touchDown
* touchMotion
* touchUp
The methods return a boolean value so that the events can be filtered
out. E.g. an effect which has also a mouse grab installed wants to
filter out all events, other effects don't need the events exclusively.
This is a difference to how e.g. keyboard and pointer events are handled.
But is more close to how KWin's internal input event passing works and
makes it easier to get touch event: one does not explicitly has to grab
the events. It's also closer to Wayland where all input events are
available.
As a first example the Present Windows effect is adjusted and allows to
activate windows through the touch screen. As much code as possible is
shared with pointer input.

A QEvent* is passed around, this could also be a QWheelEvent. Only
present windows static casted, all other effects verified.
Documentation is not existing, so we don't know what was intended.
Most of those effects didn't need special screen locking handling on
X11 as they prevented screen locking. On Wayland though, we don't
want the lock screen shown on a cube.

Theory:
----------
because PresentWindowsEffect::screenCountChanged() is shortcut
for "if (!isActive())", but the desktopgrid doesn't call
PresentWindowsEffect::setActive (or at least
PresentWindowsEffect::screenCountChanged), so the effect can
"miss" the increasing screen count change (it sees the signal,
but ignores it) and when desktopgrid calls it, it assumes the
m_gridSizes array is big enough (but it isn't)
Steps:
----------
1. effects are loaded, 1 screen present
2. 2nd screen gets added, but inactive effects ignore that
3. desktop grid gets activated, updates according to screen count,
calls presentwindows for screen #2
4. presentwindows data is only prepared for one screen from step 1
=> BOOM

This is now crucial, because while before
(the minimized) windows were conditionally
shown, but are now always behind the desktop.
Also, it makes the tabbox more consistent.

The closeview is not hidden because that causes
invalid textures (apparently QML related) and
deleting/recreating causes massive I/O overhead
on effect invocation.
As last resort, the window is "hidden" by moving
it out of the root window geometry.
Jonathan, please RESPIN kwin - sorry for the trouble
... again.

On MacBooks the "Exposé" button is on XF86LaunchA. Let's use it
for activating Present Windows (ALL) as an alternative shortcut.
For non-macbook users this doesn't hurt, for MacBook users it's a
nice touch to have the key working as indicated by the pictogram.
Yes, it's realy Key_LaunchC:
"On X11 this key is mapped to XF86XK_LaunchA key for legacy reasons."

Most is just switched to the ::read(). That should be enough for all the
Effects which have a KSharedConfig::Ptr underneath. If not we just need
to find a good place to put the reload.
Implemented in KWin core to forward to new global shortcut system. This
method should be extended/changed once we go to Qt5/KF5 to make the usage
easier (no more KAction).
Each global shortcut in the effects makes use of this new method.
instead 1/16 of the area, 1/4 of the bigger and 1/32
of the smaller screen/window ratio
(ie. a shaded window would typically zoom to 1/32 of the screen height)

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.

Most effects had a "collection" for one action. We don't need the
action collection, all it was used for is setting the object name.
With the removal of KActionCollection the effects do not need to link
XmlGui any more, though the dependency is still pulled in through
plasma.
Client used to have dedicated methods for different icon sizes instead
of combining all pixmaps into one QIcon. This resulted in various parts
of KWin having different access to the icons:
* effects only got one pixmap of size 32x32
* decorations only got the 16x16 and 32x32 pixmaps combined into a QIcon
* tabbox could request all icon sizes, but only as pixmap
Now all sizes are available in one QIcon allowing to easily access the
best fitting icon in a given UI.
Hiding and Showing the close window button all the time can result in
the window not having a proper content. To fix this issue we keep the
window around, but just don't show it. For this the CloseWindowView
inherits from QObject and delegates the needed calls to the nested
QQuickView.
That's what you get for changing code you cannot properly test. The
calculation was completely messed up. Now reads the correct byte size
for the byte array. In addition the usages in the effects are improved
to cast the data into the proper uint32_t values instead of the more
generic long. After all if the format is 32, the length is 32 and not
a long.
Not sure why kdeclarative gets its own subdir, nor why
there is no CMake module to to add it to the include dirs
on find_package, but this matches what plasma-framework
does at the moment.
* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
Instead have a synthetic motion after the effect started
and explicitly set the selected window on click/drags

With the removal of BoxSwitch all effects which want mouse events use the
fullscreen input window. The available functionality is too complex both
in EffectsHandler and in the Effects.
With this change only fullscreen input windows are supported and all
effects share the input window. This means there is at maximum one input
window. This simplifies the code in the Effects as they don't have to
keep track of the window they created any more. In EffectsHandler it
means that only one window needs to be created, destroyed and raised.
Also it means that we can properly react on screen size changes which had
been ignored in the past. Also quite some roundtrips to X are no longer
needed as we do not need to query the window geometry when creating the
input window.
