Summary:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

Summary:
There are rules that have to be applied only once, e.g. every Remember
and Apply Initially rule, as well rules that need to configure the client,
e.g. size, etc. In the best scenario the compositor would evaluate such
rules when the client is about to be mapped.
This change limits window rules only to xdg-shell clients because right
now only this protocol lets compositors to intervene in the client
initialization process. Also, it makes things a bit easier for us on the
compositor side.
xdg-shell protocol satisfies most of ours requirements to implement window
rules, but not all of them. If the client is about to be mapped for the
second time and its size is forced by a rule, then compositor may need
to configure it. Currently, xdg-shell protocol doesn't have any mechanism
that a client could use to notify the compositor about its intent to map.

Summary:
Window open/close animation effects should not animate the outline
because the end result is a bit awkward.

Summary:
Most of the functionality which is special to internal clients is moved
from ShellClient to InternalClient. As KWin's qpa is still bound to the
Wayland protocol InternalClient inherits from ShellClient. Due to that
some aspects in ShellClient are "weird". ShellClient still detects
whether it's an internal client and uses the variable m_internal to
capture the state. This is required as we cannot use the isInternal
method. Most of m_internal usage is in init which is called from
constructor of ShellClient. Thus it's not possible to call into virtual
methods of InternalClient.
Also some of the code is duplicated and some methods are temporarily
marked as virtual.
The next step will be to remove ShmBuffer for internal windows which
should decouple the two implementations further with the long term goal
of having InternalClient inherit AbstractClient directly.
Test Plan:
Run nested KWin, triggered outline (OpenGL case) and debug console (shm case).
InternalWindow unit test still passes.
