The Egl backend opens the drm device and creates a gbm_device from it.
From that it creates the EGL device. The EGL device outlives the EGL
backend (e.g. for compositor restart). So far the EGL backend destroyed
the gbm_device when going down which mesa did not like at all when a
new context got created on that EGL device.
Thus the ownership of gbm_device is also passed to the Platform so that
the compositor can be restarted.
This makes the TestSceneOpenGL no longer crash during the restart
compositor test.
A signal is added to the VirtualBackend to change all screen geometries.
This can be used from auto tests to change the screens. But it's not yet
correctly reflected in other areas. E.g. not forwarded to Wayland Output,
etc.
Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
