With the new interface, the compositor sends raw image data instead of
encoding it as a png image, which causes a lot of overhead on Wayland.
In addition to that, the new interface is more extensible, for example
we can add new options or change the written image data format, however
the latter is less likely to happen.

At the moment, the session code is far from being extensible. If we
decide to add support for libseatd, it will be a challenging task with
the current design of session management code. The goal of this
refactoring is to fix that.
Another motivation behind this change is to prepare session related code
for upstreaming to kwayland-server where it belongs.
When rules configuration is invoked from window `Alt+F3` menu,
we call a custom binary `kwin_rules_dialog` which currently provides
only the rule edition dialog by embedding `RulesEditor.qml` within a
QQuickView.
This MR changes that behavior to call the full KCM from the menu.
The code to match previous rules, or compose a new one based on window
properties has been ported to the KCM from the dialog, so the overall
interaction is similar.
It has several advantages:
- uses only one entry-point to the code
- adds discoverability to the full KCM (I guess many users know how to
create a rule, but not where to delete it later)
And a drawback:
- only one instance of the KCM can be called at a time, so it will show an
error when calling it from two different windows, or if the KCM is open
in System Settings
This drawback can be solved after adding argument passing via dBus in KCM
infraestructure.

This reverts commit ee54fa7898.
Unfortunately, this is not a totally correct fix. If there's no pointer,
we need to announce the wl_pointer capability anyway so clients that do
not support tablet input devices can still receive emulated pointer
events.
Otherwise drmModeAtomicCommit() in DrmOutput::doAtomicCommit() fails due
to unmatched buffer sizes.
While rendering continues working properly, this makes drm freak out and
try to go back to a previous state (see the test commit in
presentAtomically()) that in turn starts issuing screen events to every
process even though it's just to say the same thing. The fact that this
happens per frame makes the system unusable as soon as fullscreen starts
happening on a scaled display.
Another thing we could do is get EglGbmBackend::scanout() to take care
of the resizing.
Our wayland interface lifespan only needs to live as long as the window
is mapped.
Given this corresponds directly to the lifespan of AbstractClient we can
just set a parent and everything is handled implicitly.
Prevent KWin from synchronously autostarting kactivitymanagerd. Indeed,
kactivitymanagerd being a QApplication it will depend on KWin
startup... this is unsatisfactory dependency wise, and it turns out
that it leads to a deadlock in the Wayland case
We're now sharing most of the X11Client activity behavior accross all
clients. This allows to cleanup some of the existing virtuals and remove
quite a bit of code overalls.
Has to introduce an extra platform specific hook since X11Client
serializes the activity information in an atom and we will probably need
to do something similar on the Wayland platform at some point.
This allows us to start interacting with the activities with kwin
wayland. They are not restored properly accross sessions though since
nothing is really persisted and the session management still seems to
be amiss.
