2eb876743c [screens] Replace DesktopWidgetScreens by XRandRScreens
A new implementation of the Screens interface is added which uses XRandR
directly instead of relying on QDesktopWidget. The implementation is
provided in a new implementation file screens_xrandr.cpp.

XRandRScreens comes with a unit test. Unfortunately it's rather difficult
to provide a proper unit test against XRandR. Xvfb (which is obviously
used on the CI system) doesn't provide the XRandR extension. Also on a
"normal" developer system one would not want to just execute the test as
the results are not predictable (number of available outputs?) and the
test would mess up the setup resulting in nobody wanting to execute the
test.

As a solution to both problems the unit test starts Xephyr as a nested
X server. This allows to have at least some limited tests against XRandR.
Nevertheless there are a few things which I was not able to test:
* multiple outputs
* no output at all

The nested X Server approach makes the interaction rather complex. Qt
opens it's connection against the main X Server thus QX11Info provides
a wrong connection and also KWin::connection() which is heavily used by
xcbutils and thus all the RandR wrappers have the wrong connection. To
circumvent this problem the test is GUILESS. In case it would call into
any code using QX11Info, it would probably either runtime fail or crash.

7c62cd19ef Verify Workspace pointer in X11EventFilter::~X11EventFilter
In case the inheriting class of X11EventFilter is a child of
Workspace and deleted by the QObject dtor of Workspace the
Workspace::self() pointer is no longer valid and already set to
nullptr.

869ebdd4c0 Add an X11EventFilter class
This class provides an event filter, specific to an event type, that
can be registered with Workspace to filter events.
