As discussed on the mailinglist [1] the tiling support is
removed from KWin. The main reasons for this step are:
* it is unmaintained
* it is a mode not used by any of the core KWin team
* original developer said at Akademy 2012 that he is not
interested in picking up the work again
* tiling has quite some bugs, e.g. multi screen not supported
* is conflicting with other concepts in KWin, e.g. activities
There is ongoing work to get tiling supported through a KWin
script, which is a preferred way as it does not influence the
existing C++ code base.

Since the funtionality of TopMenu did no longer work in KDE4 this feature was
removed from Workspace. Every reference to it was removed as well as commentaries
and documentation.

Drawbound was nowadays only used when compositing is disabled.
For the composited case, the drawbound was replaced by the resize
effect and in fact we should always just use the resize effect.

This commit merges the kwin-tiling branch. Ideally it shouldn't break anything and add a few features ;-)
It was applied as a patch. Do not attempt to merge the branch directly, it has a few issues.
This feature is currently experimental, although it hasn't crashed in quite a long time. It lacks some features and probably leaks some memory. Fixes will be on the way.

and set by the user - they're now interchangeable. Which means
that Alt+F3/Advanced/No border can put the window decoration
back on the KRunner window regardless of what Plasma or any other
app thinks.

kdeglobals is not supposed to store such rules, and this way
we don't empty kdeglobals when KWin quits.
Lubos: Ossi confirmed me it was the right move in the way we
use KConfig here, so I committed directly. In case of problem
just tell me.

Add default rules that turn off focus stealing prevention
for Mozilla family apps and OOo (since they can't handle opening
a window from second instance with FSP active).
When writing groups to kwinrulesrc delete old unused groups first.
