Flicking has to stop at the bounds in the window switcher
layouts. It's not natural on the desktop that they are
flickable in the first place.
Window Strip is unchanged as this layout is intended to be used
on touch and flickable user experiences.

A CMake variable is used to specify the name of the binary.
By default this is "kwin" but building for PA changes the
name to "kwinactive". The variable adjusts all names, e.g.
kwinnvidiahack becomes kwinactivenvidiahack.
The remaining usage of kwinrc in core and libs is replaced
by a cmakedefine for the configuration name and all data
installations are moved to the defined name. Dynamic loading
for scripts & co is adjusted for loading based on defined name.
This change allows the side-by-side installation of both kwin
for desktop and kwin for Plasma Desktop without the known
issues like conflicts in config files or missing build options
if kwin desktop is used for Plasma Active.
Likewise the KCMs are not adjusted as they are not intended to
be used for kwinactive.

The grabbed key events inside TabBox are forwarded to the declarative
view which passes it to the normal keyPressedEvent() method. This
allows the QML files to handle keyboard navigation themselves.
The views support key navigation natively, though this cannot be
used as we need to update the ModelIndex when a new item is selected.
Also there seems to be a problem if the tabbox is shown again, in
that case the focus seems to be somehow lost. Because of that the
navigation is handled in the Item embedding the list.

This layout is intended to replace the TabBox mode in Present
Windows effect.
The advantages of a layout over the effect are:
* works without compositing
* supports multi-screen in a better way (windows don't move)
* is an overlay on top of the windows instead of reusing the windows
* is not a hack inside the actual effect
* visually consistent with other layouts
- only use bold text for selected windows
- all icons are colored
- row for minimized windows are not fully opaque
- text for minimized windows is no longer italic

Window Strip is only for Plasma Active, so we don't want to see
it in the UI for Window Switcher Layouts as it would not properly
work on the desktop anyway.
Accomplished by a simple property definition on the service file.
A new service type is introduced which is used by the KCM to find
all available window switcher layouts. This makes it finally possible
to have 3rd party window switchers.
Also the tabbox finds the packaged QML file through the service
definitions.
Desktop switcher is not yet in packaged version (UI to configure
is missing).

By default clip is enabled. This means that if the thumbnail would
overlap the "parent" window, it does not get rendered at all. If set
to false it will always be rendered. This is required for window strip
where the complete screen width is used, so overlap does not matter.
This is useful in combination of non-modal TabBox through DBus and
window-strip layout. With DBus the non-modal TabBox can be started
and selecting any item on the strip will end TabBox again.
A new QML item "ThumbnailItem" is registered to the TabBox. The
C++ implementation finds the EffectWindow of the TabBox and adds
itself to the EffectWindow.
While rendering the EffectWindow the information for all registered
ThumbnailItems are extracted and the thumbnail is rendered on top
of the EffectWindow.
This has obvious limitations like you cannot put other QML items
on top of the thumbnail. Nevertheless it works well enough to
be a possible replacement for e.g. BoxSwitch effect.
When compositing is disabled an icon is rendered instead of the
Thumbnail.
One TabBox Layout inspired by BoxSwitch Effect is added. For the
KCM small pre-rendered items are used.

All the default layouts (informative, compact, text, small and big icons)
are rewritten in QML and replace the ListView used before. The old code
is still around for the desktop switching modes which are not yet ported.
Next steps include to update the configuration module to not show now
obsoleted settings as well as providing a better way to choose the layout.
