The redshift table is in gamma 2.2 encoding and not linear, which means
that it only yields correct results with 1.0 pixel values. It also means
that when it's being applied in linear space in the color management shaders,
the result is quite wrong.
To fix that, this commit makes the channel factors linear and the backend
calculates the nonlinear factors where needed.
Instead of hardcoding only NVidia, try to use CTM and GAMMA_LUT before falling
back to the shader path. This way it also works on other GPUs that lack
color management hardware, and only falls back to the color management path
on older NVidia drivers.
This commit also ensures that the color management hardware is set properly
after toggling color management on and off again, and simplifies ColorDevice
to only deal with rgb factors instead of always calculating luts. This should
improve performance of night color animations on hardware where CTMs are
supported

* speeds up incremental builds as changes to a header will not always
need the full mocs_compilation.cpp for all the target's headers rebuild,
while having a moc file sourced into a source file only adds minor
extra costs, due to small own code and the used headers usually
already covered by the source file, being for the same class/struct
* seems to not slow down clean builds, due to empty mocs_compilation.cpp
resulting in those quickly processed, while the minor extra cost of the
sourced moc files does not outweigh that in summary.
Measured times actually improved by some percent points.
(ideally CMake would just skip empty mocs_compilation.cpp & its object
file one day)
* enables compiler to see all methods of a class in same compilation unit
to do some sanity checks
* potentially more inlining in general, due to more in the compilation unit
* allows to keep using more forward declarations in the header, as with the
moc code being sourced into the cpp file there definitions can be ensured
and often are already for the needs of the normal class methods
This is done by converting from the sRGB + gamma 2.2 input from clients
to linear with the color space of the output (BT.709 or BT2020 atm) in
a shadow buffer, and then convert from the shadow buffer to the transfer
function the output needs (sRGB or PQ).
In order to work around hardware and drivers that aren't capable of applying
a LUT, calculate a per-channel factor for brightness and color temperature
modification. While this ignores color calibration, this makes night color
work until a proper shader based color pipeline is implemented.
BUG: 455720
Things such as Output, InputDevice and so on are made to be
multi-purpose. In order to make this separation more clear, this change
moves that code in the core directory. Some things still link to the
abstraction level above (kwin), they can be tackled in future refactors.
Ideally code in core/ should depend either on other code in core/ or
system libs.
At the moment, a platform should provide two output lists - one that
lists all available outputs, and the other one that contains only
enabled outputs. In general, this amounts to some boilerplate code and
forces backends to be implemented in some certain way, which sometimes
is inconvenient, e.g. if an output is disabled or enabled, it will be
simpler if we only change Output::isEnabled(), otherwise we need to
start accounting for corner cases such as the order in which
Output::isEnabled() and Platform::enabledOutputs() are changed, etc.
The Session can be useful not only to the platform backend but also
input backends and for things such as vt switching, etc. Therefore it's
better to have the Application own the Session.
There are a few benefits to using smart pointers from the standard library:
- std::unique_ptr has move semantics. With move semantics, transfer of ownership
can be properly expressed
- std::shared_ptr is more efficient than QSharedPointer
- more developers are used to them, making contributions for newcomers easier
We're also already using a mix of both; because Qt shared pointers provide
no benefits, porting to standard smart pointers improves consistency in
the code base. Because of that, this commit ports most of the uses of QSharedPointer
to std::shared_ptr, and some uses of QScopedPointer to std::unique_ptr
