Summary:
On X11, Workspace stores windows in two lists. One with desktop windows
and the other one with all other windows. On Wayland, desktop windows
and normal windows are stored in the same list - m_allClients.
In order to unify scripting on X11 and Wayland, this change makes the
Workspace class store X11 desktop windows and normal X11 windows in the
same list. It's the responsibility of scripts to filter desktop windows.

Summary:
Currently, we have only one shell client type - XdgShellClient. We use
it when we are dealing with Wayland clients. But it isn't really a good
idea because we may need to support shell surfaces other than xdg-shell
ones, for example input panel surfaces.
In order to make kwin more extensible, this change replaces all usages
of the XdgShellClient class with the AbstractClient class.
Test Plan: Existing tests pass.

Summary:
Qt has its own thing where a type might also have corresponding list
alias, e.g. QObject and QObjectList, QWidget and QWidgetList. I don't
know why Qt does that, maybe for some historical reasons, but what
matters is that we copy this pattern here in KWin. While this pattern
might be useful with some long list types, for example
QList<QWeakPointer<TabBoxClient>> TabBoxClientList
in general, it causes more harm than good. For example, we've got two
new client types, do we need corresponding list typedefs for them? If
no, why do we have ClientList and so on?
Another problem with these typedefs is that you need to include utils.h
header in order to use them. A better way to handle such things is to
just forward declare a client class (if that's possible) and use it
directly with QList or QVector. This way translation units don't get
"bloated" with utils.h stuff for no apparent reason.
So, in order to make code more consistent and easier to follow, this
change drops some of our custom typedefs. Namely ConstClientList,
ClientList, DeletedList, UnmanagedList, ToplevelList, and GroupList.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
In order to properly implement xdg_surface.set_window_geometry we need
two kinds of geometry - frame and buffer. The frame geometry specifies
visible bounds of the client on the screen, excluding client-side drop
shadows. The buffer geometry specifies rectangle on the screen that the
attached buffer or x11 pixmap occupies on the screen.
This change renames the geometry property to frameGeometry in order to
reflect the new meaning assigned to it as well to make it easier to
differentiate between frame geometry and buffer geometry in the future.

Summary:
Currently each managed X11 client is represented with an instance of
Client class, however the name of that class is very generic and the
only reason why it's called that way is because historically kwin
was created as an x11 window manager, so "Client" was a sensible choice.
With introduction of wayland support, things had changed and therefore
Client needs to be renamed to X11Client in order to better reflect what
that class stands for.
Renaming of Client to X11Client was agreed upon during the last KWin
sprint.
Test Plan: Compiles, the test suite is still green.

Summary:
So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
alter geometry.
A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
add shadows back later on.

This change converts all usages of 0 and NULL literal to nullptr. Even

add unrelated changes to their patches, e.g. converting NULL to nullptr).

So far we were following a bit unique and rare doxygen comment style:
/**

Doxygen comments with this style look balanced and neat, but many people
that contribute to KWin don't follow this style. Instead, they prefer
more traditional doxygen comment style, i.e.
/**
* Contents of the comment.
*/
Reviewing such changes has been a bit frustrating for me (so selfish!)
and for other contributors.
This change switches doxygen comment style in KWin to a more traditional
style. The main reason for doing this is to make code review process easier
for new contributors as well us.

Some X clients acting as drag sources might try to optimize finding the current
target window by checking if a window manager, that sets the root window
_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING property, is present. An example for this is Chromium
and since KWin sets the property the drag proxy windows must be added to this
list. Otherwise the origin client will not detect the proxy window and not send
an XdndEnter message.

In long term, we need to "invert" the relationship, instead of checking
whether given parent window has a transient, we should check whether
given transient is a transient for a given window so we can keep Deleted
transients above their old parents.

Summary:
So far a not-active fullscreen X11 window was kept in the active layer if
the newly activated window is in the same group (that is same client
leader). For example a fullscreen X11 kwrite window is in the active layer
if another kwrite window is active. The two kwrite windows obviously
don't have anything to do with each other, but are in the same group.
This creates problems as it's not possible to raise other windows above
the active not-fullscreen kwrite window. E.g. the panel is stacked below.
The idea behind the check makes sense: if a fullscreen window opens
another window (e.g. a configuration dialog) it should not be put back
to normal layer. Thus the check is adjusted whether the new active
window is a transient to the fullscreen window. Thus the intention is
still the same, but does not cause the problems.
As the code now does not need to differentiate between X11 and Wayland
windows (group only on X11) the Client specific implementation is
removed and the method unvirtual'ed.

Summary:
The xStackingOrder unlike indicated by it's name is relevant for both
X11 and Wayland and contains the stacking order of the windows used for
compositing.
So far it was determined whether it needs to be recreated based on
whether an xcb query is pending. This change introduces a boolean
variable to check whether the stacking order is dirty and guards the X11
specific code to only be run if we have an X11 connection.
This is to my current knowledge the last remaining issue where X11 was
used during the normal Wayland operation mode. Now it should be possible
to re-order the Workspace startup [1] and try to run kwin_wayland without
Wayland support.
[1] Workspace::Workspace and Workspace::init is still highly X11
specific and needs to be split into X11 only and general parts.

Introduce a method Workspace::markXStackingOrderAsDirty
Summary:
This method replaces the calls x_stacking_dirty = true in the code base
allowing for further refactoring of that functionality.
Remove roundtrip to XServer from Workspace::xStackingOrder
The method xStackingOrder is only used during a Compositor paint pass.
If the stacking order had changed, the method updated the stacking order
from X by performing a sync XQueryTree. With other words we had a round
trip to the X server directly in the paint pass.
This change rearchitectures this area by making better use of xcb. When
we notice that the stacking order changed and an XQueryTree is needed,
we directly send out the request. When xStackingOrder is finally called,
which normally happens a few milliseconds later, the reply is retreived.
In the worst case it still blocks, but in most cases the roundtrip is
gone.
If the stacking order changed again before accessing xStackingOrder the
running request is cancelled and a new request is issued. So whenever we
get into xStackingOrder it will have the current state.
The updating of the xStackingOrder is moved into a dedicated method and
xStackingOrder invokes it through a const_cast instead of operating on
mutable variables.

A QWindow created somewhere, but not shown. Such windows should not

If they are it breaks code which looks at the top most window in the

ShellClient gets hidden and that internal windows with isShown being
false are excluded from the stacking order.

Summary:
Rational: unredirect fullscreen windows is a weird beast. It's intended
to make fullscreen windows "faster" by not compositing that screen. But
that doesn't really work as KWin jumps out of that condition pretty
quickly. E.g. whenever a tooltip window is shown. KWin itself has a
better functionality by supporting to block compositing completely.
The complete code was full of hacks around it to try to ensure that
things don't break.
Overall unredirect fullscreen has always been the odd one. We had it
because a compositor needs to have it, but it never got truly integrated.
E.g. effects don't interact with it properly so that some things randomly
work, others don't. Will it trigger the screenedge, probably yes, but
will it show the highlight: properly no.
By removing the functionality we finally acknowledge that this mode is
not maintained and has not been maintained for years and that we do not
intend to support it better in future. Over the years we tried to make
it more and more hidden: it's disabled for Intel GPUs, because it used
to crash KWin. It's marked as an "expert" option, etc.
It's clearly something we tried to hide from the user that it exists.
For Wayland the whole unredirect infrastructure doesn't make sense
either. There is no such thing as "unredirecting". We might make use
of passing buffers directly to the underlying stack, but that will be
done automatically when we know it can be done, not by some magic is
this a window of specific size.
Test Plan:
Compiles, cannot really test as I am an Intel user who never
had that working.

For Wayland transients are popups relative to a parent surface. This
means for a dock window we obviously want them above the dock, otherwise
the context menu would be below the dock.
To not break the existing functionality (which makes sense) we bind
it to whether the transient has a positioning hint - that's only set
for ShellClients.
Merges together the code from ShellClient and Client and removes the
starting differences. Long term it's better to have only one
implementation to prevent diversions in the implementation.
As it doesn't match exactly protected virtual methods are called
which allow more specific implementations for a certain aspect of the
layer resolving.
Adds all internal ShellClients into a dedicated list. This ensures that
we don't perform "normal" window management on them.
In addition we add them to the top of the stacking order. This restores
behavior as it is on X11: internal windows are using BypassWindowManagerHint
and thus on top of everything.
