Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.

Summary:
Implements a KWayland protocol to pass GBM fd from KWin to KRfb and
addictions to relevant projects from both sides.
Note that this patch does not affect default behaviour of mentioned projects. It can be used
only with KWIN_REMOTE=1 in env from KWin side and with preferredFrameBufferPlugin=gbm in krfbrc from
KRfb side. In all other aspects app behaviour remains unchanged.
Test Plan: Launched KWin in Wayland mode, launched KRfb in it, launched KRDC on a laptop, connected in read-only mode, observed a correctly retrieved desktop with Krfb window

Summary:
The addition of the test infrastructure is motivated by the regressions
caused by adding mode switching and transformation support.
A contributing factor to these regression is the fact that the DRM
platform does not have any tests. It is difficult to test this code as
it needs to work with hardware, thus we cannot use the real DRM library.
Instead we need to use mocking.
This change sets up some first basic tests with the help of a mockDrm
library. In order to better test the code as units the Drm classes are
slightly refactored. Most importantly the dependency to DrmBackend is
removed wherever possible and replaced by a simple int fd which is mostly
the only element used by the classes.
This first test introduces basic testing of a DrmObject. It is intended
to extend this to at least also test DrmPlane as a central piece of our
Drm platform plugin. This will also extend the tests of DrmObject.

Summary:
The gbm_surface is owned by the EglGbmBackend, but it's not the only one
using it. The DrmSurfaceBuffer is also using it and needs it to destroy
the gbm_bo. Now this can become a problem in the following situation:
* a page flip is still pending
* the EglGbmBackend destroys the gbm_surface
-> when the page flip happens the DrmSurfaceBuffer will try to destroy
the gbm_bo and crash as the gbm_surface is no longer valid. This
situation can happen when switching screens or when switching compositing
backend (OpenGL 2 -> OpenGL 3).
To address this problem a class GbmSurface is added which wrapps the
gbm_surface pointer. The EglGbmBackend creates and holds a shared pointer
to the GbmSurface and passes that one to the DrmSurfaceBuffer. So when
cleaning up the gbm_surface only the shared pointer is reset and in case
the DrmSurfaceBuffer still needs it, it can access it without problems.

Split off GBM based buffers to a separate file, which gets only included,
when GBM is available.
Note, that this also removes the gbmCallback, since already before this
patch we did delete the buffers always without it.
The plan is to later use this file for via GBM directly imported Wayland
buffers as well.
Test Plan:
Tested with Gl and QPainter backends.
