So far updating the cursor image was not really defined. It was possible
to use the cursor image from the wayland seat or have a custom set cursor
image. But there are no rules in place to decide which one to use when.
With this change a dedicated CursorImage class is introduced which tracks
the cursor image changes on the seat, on the decoration, in the effects
and so on. In addition it tracks which is the current source for the
image, that is whether e.g. the cursor from the seat or from effects
override should be used. Whenever the cursor image changes a signal is
emitted, which is connected to the signal in AbstractBackend.
Based on that the backends can directly show the image. The existing
code in the backends to install a cursor shape or to install the cursor
from the server is completely dropped. For the backend it's irrelevant
from where the image comes from.
A new feature added is that the cursor image is marked as rendered. This
is then passed on to the frame rendered in the Surface and thus animated
cursors are finally working. Unfortunately animated cursors are broken in
Qt (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48181 ).
This is needed to make KWin build-able on non-Linux, but is actually
only a workaround. The dependency should also be available on non-Linux.
This disables the EGL integration in the Wayland backend (QPainter still
available) and the EGL fallback in the qpa plugin (preferred context
sharing still available, but requires a working OpenGL Scene).

All backends already have an init method so far called from the ctor.
This change moves the call to init out of the OpenGL backends and makes
it the responsibility of the creating code to also call init on the
backend.
This change makes it easier to have virtual methods being called during
the initialization.
If we don't have a dedicated device identifier we should use the default
mechanismn which involves using the WAYLAND_DISPLAY or WAYLAND_SOCKET env
variable.
We are going to switch to a proper nested approach similar to the
x11 backend. Given that we don't want to run on fullscreen anymore
but just open a nested window.
As we don't have GLPLatform before the backend is fully created
the AbstractEglBackend has a new method isOpenGLES() -> bool
which determines based on QOpenGLContext::openGLModuleType().
Distributions do package each backend plugin in a dedicated package,
which means just because KWin got compiled with a specific backend,
doesn't mean it is also available at runtime.
In order to better support this reality this change introduces a
list-backends command line option. Each of the plugins got the json
metadata extended by the KPlugin syntax, so that we have a name and
description to print.
As we already locate all plugins anyway, the additional findPlugins for
the selected backend is changed to search the list of all plugin meta
data.
It doesn't make much sense any more as we do no longer link EGL since the
switch to epoxy. And epoxy pulls it in at runtime if needed.
Even more on Wayland it's just plain stupid to have EGL disabled. So
removing the option just simplifies our code base without any
disadvantages.

Each of the backends becomes a plugin. This allows kwin_wayland to load
the requested plugin and kwin itself doesn't need to link all the
libraries needed. E.g. libdrm is no longer linked if running kwin_x11.
Also this allows to create backends for the non-standard EGL platforms
(examples could be raspberrypi or Android devices).
With this change all backends need to emit the screensQueried signal
at some point. So far only x11 backend did not provide the signal,
wayland had a comparable delayed init mechanism. Now all backends use
the same mechanism.
Replaces the functionality of the WaylandBackend and makes it available
to all backends by providing the functionality directly in
AbstractBackend. By default a backend is not ready and the implementation
must call setReady(true) to indicate that setup has finished
successfully. The compositor won't start till the backend indicates that
it is ready.
