This commit does away with the special handling of the legacy cursor and
makes it be applied directly in DrmPipeline, using the same state as the
atomic cursor and without dirty flags.
The main motivation behind this change is to move management of drm
blobs out of property wrappers in specialized wrappers to simplify state
management with blobs.
Connector mode blobs are created on demand.
When we switch CRTCs it can happen that a CRTC would stay enabled yet has
no connectors anymore. In this case the kernel may reject our atomic commit,
which would cause the modeset to fail. To counteract that, properly disable
unused drm objects
Currently KWin is combining modesets with presentation, which causes problems
when multiple monitors are used and crtcs need to be switched around, because
taking away a CRTC from another output causes the driver to disable the
other output. In order to avoid such problems, delay presentation until
all pipelines are ready to present and then do a modeset with a single atomic
commit. To process the resulting page flip events properly this commit also
ports KWin to page_flip_handler2 and changes how the pageFlipped and
notifyFrameFailed signals are processed.
This improves file organization in kwin by putting backends in a single
directory.
It also makes easier to discover kwin's low level components for new
contributors because the plugins directory may come as the last place to
look for. When one hears "plugin", the first thing that comes to mind is
regular plugins, not low level backends.
