This is Milestone 1 of full support of Atomic Mode Setting (AMS) and
Universal Planes in the KWin DRM backend.
With Milestone 1 we can use the primary plane of a DRM output and do an
AMS commit (this means mode setting aswell as page flipping), if the
driver supports it. Until now the functionality is only tested on Intel
graphics. You need the drm-next kernel for most recent DRM kernel
developments. As boot option set "i915.nuclear_pageflip". Additionally
at the moment AMS is still hidden behind the environment variable
KWIN_DRM_AMS. Set it, if you want to try out AMS.
What needs to be done next: Make it possible to transfer EGL buffers
directly to planes and implement logic for deciding about using a plane
or not for a specific buffer.

I used as model previous work by Daniel Stone for Weston:

Just like 4e7392b907:
the ownership of the gbm_device must be passed to the Platform as
the ownership of the EGLDisplay is also passed to the Platform and
we may not destroy the gbm_device for an EGLDisplay we are still using.
With this change I could restart the OpenGL compositor successfully
and switch from OpenGL 3.1 to OpenGL 2 without a crash or rendering
issues.
Summary:
When the pointer device gets plugged off the cursor is hidden, when
a pointer device gets plugged in the cursor is shown again.
This allows to easily turn a tablet into a proper system by showing
the cursor only when it makes sense.
Test Plan: Tested on exopc with external mouse

Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
