At the moment, our frame scheduling infrastructure is still heavily
based on Xinerama-style rendering. Specifically, we assume that painting
is driven by a single timer, etc.
This change introduces a new type - RenderLoop. Its main purpose is to
drive compositing on a specific output, or in case of X11, on the
overlay window.
With RenderLoop, compositing is synchronized to vblank events. It
exposes the last and the next estimated presentation timestamp. The
expected presentation timestamp can be used by effects to ensure that
animations are synchronized with the upcoming vblank event.
On Wayland, every outputs has its own render loop. On X11, per screen
rendering is not possible, therefore the platform exposes the render
loop for the overlay window. Ideally, the Scene has to expose the
RenderLoop, but as the first step towards better compositing scheduling
it's good as is for the time being.
The RenderLoop tries to minimize the latency by delaying compositing as
close as possible to the next vblank event. One tricky thing about it is
that if compositing is too close to the next vblank event, animations
may become a little bit choppy. However, increasing the latency reduces
the choppiness.
Given that, there is no any "silver bullet" solution for the choppiness
issue, a new option has been added in the Compositing KCM to specify the
amount of latency. By default, it's "Medium," but if a user is not
satisfied with the upstream default, they can tweak it.
At the moment, despite the protocol supporting it, we were not feeding
the EDIDs. KScreen was falling back to the output name so it didn't fail
horribly but it's still a good idea to provide all the data.
The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Summary:
AbstractOutput::name() behaviour is changed so that it matches the X11
behaviour, showing an identifier like "HDMI-0".
XdgOutput.name is set to this name.
XdgOutput.description is currently set to the manufacturer name and
model, but it's not exposed to Qt so we probably don't care too much.
This should fix plasmashell changing applets when switching between X11
and wayland.
Test Plan:
Relevant unit test
I still need to run it on my laptop.

Summary:
Make it more explicit what the relation is between Wayland and XDG objects
existing and enablement:
The ouput is enabled if and only if Wayland and XDG output objects exist.
We can simplify the code by replacing checks on the outputs with checking
the current enablement value.
Test Plan: Wayland nested and virtual backends.

Summary:
Get the physical size directly from the always available output device
interface instead of saving an additional copy in the abstract wayland
output class.
There is some ambiguity with orientation and naming that needs to be
cleaned up when output orientation is reworked.
Test Plan: Nested Wayland, Drm, virtual backends tested.

Summary:
Create output devices in virtual backend. For that the setVirtualOutputs call
can only come after the Wayland server has been initiliazied such that the
display exists to create the output and output device interfaces. Tests have
been adjusted for that.
Test Plan:
```
98% tests passed, 3 tests failed out of 148
Total Test time (real) = 362.97 sec
The following tests FAILED:
33 - kwin-testInternalWindow (Failed)
39 - kwin-testPointerInput (Failed)
101 - kwin-testMoveResize (Failed)
```
Failing of these tests looks unrelated to the change.

Summary:
Represent outputs in the X11 session via AbstractOutput. For that we
move all Wayland specific parts of AbstractOutput into a new subclass
AbstractWaylandOutput and let the outputs of our Wayland backends inherit
from there.
This should allow us to get rid of the Screens class later on.
Test Plan: Manually in X session.

offset in the ScreenEdges class is not calculated correctly via the

Summary:
Let VirtualOutput be a child class of the new generic class Output.
This allows code sharing and a very similar behavior of the Virtual backend
in comparision to the Drm backend.
Test Plan:
Autotests succesful with two exceptions: The decoration input test fails on
testDoubleTap, row topLeft. This is to be expected because now the
ScreenEdgeInputFilter captures the event at position (0,0) before the
DecorationEventFilter can capture it. The autotest was adapted to take this
special case into account.
Also the lockscreen test fails, because the virtual output is currently missing
the physical size yet.

Summary:
Qt objects are treated as identities so remove the copy constructor and
an assignment operator. See, http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/object.html#identity-vs-value
IIRC some Qt objects(like QImage) have copy constructor for implicit data sharing,
but VirtualOutput doesn't have anything to share.
Also, it [this patch] fixes a compiler warning:
```
