So far the effects could just use the connection() and rootWindow()
provided by kwinglobals. Thus an internal detail from KWin core is
accessed directly.
To be more consistent with the rest of the API it's wrapped through the
EffectsHandler and with a convenient method in Effect.
The connection() is provided as xcbConnection() to free the very generic
name connection which could create confusion once we provide a wayland
connection to the Effects.
The rootWindow() is provided as x11RootWindow() to indicate that it is
for the X11 world.

KWin already has a de facto OpenGL 2 dependency through QML. Combined
with the fact that the OpenGL 1 backend is basically unmaintained and
also unused, it's better to remove it for the new major release.
This change includes:
* Removal of cmake option KWIN_BUILD_OPENGL_1_COMPOSITING
* Removal of KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 compile option and all code
ifdef'ed with it (partially removal of if-else constructs)
* Removal of CompositingType::OpenGL1Compositing (flags are kept
as a core flag should get introduced)
* Driver recommendation for OpenGL1Compositing changed to XRender
(should be evaluated whether the drivers can provide GL2)
* Removal of configuration option "GLLegacy"
* Removal of fooMatrix function in kwinglutils
* Removal of ARBBlurShader
* Removal of legacy code path in GLVertexBuffer
* Removal of GLShaderManager::disable
* if-blocks with ShaderManager::instance()->isValid() removed

Rational behind this change is that displayWidth and displayHeight are
X specific API calls in kwinglobals. For the future it's easier to only
rely on functionality which goes through the EffectsHandler API which
allows easier adjustments in KWin core.
displayWidth() and displayHeight() are only used to get the size or the
complete rect of all screens. This is also provided by:
effects->virtualScreenGeometry() or
effects->virtualScreenSize()

As all effects have always been compiled into the same .so file it's
questionable whether resolving the effects through a library is useful
at all. By linking against the built-in effects we gain the following
advantages:
* don't have to load/unload the KLibrary
* don't have to resolve the create, supported and enabled functions
* no version check required
* no dependency resolving (effects don't use it)
* remove the KWIN_EFFECT macros from the effects
All the effects are now registered in an effects_builtins file which
maps the name to a factory method and supported or enabled by default
methods.
During loading the effects we first check whether there is a built-in
effect by the given name and make a shortcut to create it through that.
If that's not possible the normal plugin loading is used.
Completely unscientific testing [1] showed an improvement of almost 10
msec during loading all the effects I use.
[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.

* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
This includes:
* getting cursor image through xcb_xfixes
* using xcb_image_get for reading screen content in xrender case
* using xcb_put_image to upload the generated screenshot into shared xpix
Overall this means that QPixmap as an X Pixmap wrapper is no longer used.
The conversion from xcb_image_t to QImage still needs some code for not
matching byte order. I'm a little bit unsure about adding the code as I
would not be able to test it.

Instead of having a pointer to a QPixmap the offscreen target holds an
xcb_render_picture_t. To make this possible in SceneWindow the tempPixmap
is changed from a QPixmap* to a XRenderPicture*. QPixmap was only used
for convenience.
ScreenShot Effect as only user of the offscreen target is adjusted but
as it needs a QImage, still uses a QPixmap wrapper.
EffectsHandlerImpl starts to monitor DBus for the screen being locked and
provides this information to the Effect system by allowing them to ask
whether the screen is currently locked and by emitting a signal when the
screen gets locked/unlocked.
This information is needed to ensure that no private data is shown on the
screen. The following effects are adjusted:
* taskbar thumbnails
* thumbnail aside
* mouse mark
* screen shot

Effect used the display size which caused windows being larger than
either width or height not to be captured correctly.
Now it uses the window size for the offscreen texture which also requires
to adjust the modelviewprojection matrix.
As an unrelated change the pointer to GLRenderTarget and GLTexture are
changed to a QScopedPointer and some variables which got moved around
are consted.

The CompositingType enum turns into flags and two new values are
introduced: OpenGL1Compositing and OpenGL2Compositing.
Those new values are or-ed to OpenGLCompositing so that a simple check
for the flag OpenGLCompositing works in case of one of those two new
values. To make the generic check for OpenGL compositing easier a method
in EffectsHandler is introduced to just check for this.
The scenes now return either OpenGL1Compositing or OpenGL2Compositing
depending on which Scene implementation. None returns OpenGLCompositing.
This patch adds an optional texture cache to the blur effect such that damaged windows in
front of the blurred region dont trigger a repaint of the whole blurred region which pretty
often results in a avalanche repaint of nearly the whole screen.

Each effect is able to declare itself as currently being active,
that is transforming windows or painting or screen or doing anything
during the current rendered frame.
This change eliminates the hottest path inside KWin identified by
callgrind.

We have to set the bit depth of the XPixmap to 32 in order to get
an alpha channel and we have to render the grabbed image using
composition mode Source in order to just copy all pixels to the
destination pixmap.
BUG: 276719
FIXED-IN: 4.7.0
With raster a QPixmap is no longer a XPixmap which fails all code
which assumes that an QPixmap is an XPixmap. Depending on were in
the codebase we either convert such pixmaps to images (OpenGL) or
create a XPixmap and use QPixmap::fromX11Pixmap to get a "real"
pixmap.
It is possible that there are more code pathes were we would need
a XPixmap. Currently tested is basic functionality of no-compositing,
XRender compositing, OpenGl/GLX and OpenGL ES/EGL compositing.
For OpenGL compositing raster might result in performance improvements,
for XRender it is possible that there are regressions when using raster.
By default KWin uses whatever is the default of the system, so we just
no longer enforce native.
Of course it is a bad idea to use graphicssystem OpenGL. As that
is broken anyways in Qt, we do not check for it.
Many thanks to Philipp Knechtges for bringing up the issue, convincing
me that we need it and providing most of the patch.

This adds a DBus slot to capture a window and the pixmap handle
is passed back via a DBus signal.
Previous code using a shortcut and saving to filesystem is dropped
completely in favor for ksnapshot.

Saves an image of the active window into the home directory when triggered.
It uses an OpenGL FBO and by that can include the alpha channel and the decoration shadows.
