Summary:
The modifier-only-shortcuts break as soon as KWin grabs the keyboard
(e.g. alt+tab, present windows, etc.). The investigation shows that in
that case KWin does not get any raw key events any more and thus gets
confused about the state of the hold modifiers. E.g. alt+tab has the
alt key pressed, but we miss the release as the keyboard is grabbed.
This change addresses the problem by installing an additional event
filter for key press and release event which only filters for key events
on the root window. That way we can be sure that it only operates when
KWin grabbed the keyboard on the root window.
Note: the problem only exists when grabbing on the root window. If the
grab is on another window (e.g. moving a window) we still do get all
events.
The problem also seems to not happen if another application grabbed
keys on the root window. E.g. for key combinations grabbed by
kglobalaccel the correct sequence of key press/release as raw events
are reported. Also while the screen is locked the evemts are reported
and kscreenlocker grabs the keyboard on the root window.
Test Plan:
Used Alt+Tab and Present Windows and tried to activate launcher
afterwards.

Summary:
The raw pointer button events intercepted in the XInput2 input filter
get sent through the Platform to the PointerInputRedirection. This
makes the PointerInputRedirection track the pointer button state and
emit the signals for button changed and axis changed.
These signals are used by the modifier-only shortcut detection to
determine whether the shortcut should trigger.
On X11 the "normal" input handling doesn't use the InputRedirection
and the emitted signals are not consumed by anything else. As
PointerInputRedirection is not inited the events are not forwarded
to the input filter, thus won't be processed by other parts and
won't interfere with the normal event processing on X11.
Given that it also doesn't matter that the input filter does not
apply the left-handed setting. The internal tracking will have a
wrong mouse button, but nothing is going to do decisions based on
the value of the pressed mouse button. For the moment all we are
interested in is that a button is pressed.
Test Plan:
Pressed meta, clicked, scrolled, released meta: launcher
did not open. Pressed meta, released meta: launcher opened

BUG: 367730
At the same time the xinput2 integration is split out of X11Cursor
and made a standalone part of the platform plugin. XInput integration
is nowadays not only used by the cursor position polling, but also
for modifier only shortcuts.
By splitting it out the modifier shortcuts start to work also when
one doesn't have anything requesting a mouse position polling.
This also simplifies the conditional builds: xinput integration is
only included if we have support for it at compile time without having
to have many ifdefs in the cursor implementation. For the inclusion of
cursor in the kcmkwin this also removes all the ifdefs.
The key events are only requested if we have xinput 2.1. Otherwise we
would not get all raw events if the input device gets grabbed.

By default the InputRedirectionCursor is created and only the X11
standalone platform creates the X11 specific cursor.
This is a preparation step for moving the X11 specific cursor
implementation into the x11standalone platform plugin.
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.

Summary:
A new virtual method createOpenGLSafePoint is added to Platform.
This is invoked through the Compositor with a PreInit and a PostInit
argument pre and post creating the SceneOpenGL.
The Platform plugin can implement this and use it for detecting whether
creating the OpenGL compositor on this platform crashed in the past.
Thus it's the base for the openGLIsBroken platform check.
The x11 standalone plugin is the first to implement this functionality
using the previous code which was designed for X11.
This also means that a crash of the OpenGL compositor during init on
Wayland won't result in OpenGL being disabled.

Summary:
So far the OpenGL is unsafe check functionality in Compositor disabled
OpenGL compositing if glx is not available and we are in standalone X11
mode.
This is technically no longer correct for quite some time. Just because
GLX is not available doesn't mean that OpenGL doesn't work. We have an
EGL backend. So let's try to use that if glx is not available.
This change removes the check completely from Compositor. Instead the
standalone x11 plugin checks whether glx is available prior to createing
the glx backend. If not available it falls through to the egl backend.

Summary:
CompositingPrefs is only relevant for X11 standalone. It had some
"hacks" to make it not block Compositing on Wayland. Thus it was in
its current form not really useful.
Now all the functionality is provided through Platform with a default
implementation which is sensible for Wayland platforms.
The X11 standalone platform implements the new methods with the
Wayland checks removed.
In addition all calls to CompositingPrefs now go through the platform
directly and CompositingPrefs is completely dropped.

Summary:
This change reduces the windowing system specific code pathes. Instead
of checking whether we are on X11 or Wayland to decide whether
compositing is required, we just ask the Platform.
The default is true, only x11 standalone allows to not require
compositing.

Removes a diversion between X11 and Wayland. The base class Platform
creates an instance of class Edge with plugin implementations being
able to create a different type.
The X11StandalonePlugin does that and creates a WindowBasedEdge. For
this the implementation of WindowBasedEdge is moved from screenedges
into the plugin.
Unfortunately an ifdef is needed to make the screenedge test still
work as expected. This should be improved in future, e.g. have a good
way to load the platform plugin from the tests.

Summary:
The EglOnXBackend is no longer needed in the core. It's only needed by
the two x11 platform plugins. To best share it, it's moved into a common
directory and compiled into a static library which in turn is linked by
the two plugins.

It's only needed by the standalone x11 variant. This allows us to
simplify the creation of the OpenGLBackend: it's created by the
platform plugin - we don't need custom complex logic.

By moving XRandrScreens the creation of screens gets simplified a lot
as there is no need to have windowing system specific init code. It all
just goes through the platform.
This also marks the point where the first X11 specific code is removed
from kwin_wayland.

The plugin does not much. It's the most basic plugin we can have to
be loaded from kwin_x11.
Unlike the wayland platform plugins it gets installed to:
org.kde.kwin.platforms
