This adds "Quick Tile Window to the Top" and "Quick Title Window to the Bottom" shortcuts. These are
useful for those using displays that are in portrait orientation.

Screens provides a size which is constructed from the size of
the bounding geometry of all screens and provides an overload taking
an int to return the size of a specified screen. For geometry() a new
ovload is added without an argument, which is just a convenient wrapper
for QRect(QPoint(0, 0), size()).
Both new methods are exported to effects and scripting as new
properties there called virtualScreenSize and virtualScreenGeometry.
The (virtual) size gets cached in screens and is updated whenever the
count or geometry changes.
Construction of Screens is slightly changed by moving the init code
from ctor into a virtual method init(). Reason is that we ended in
a loop with accessing the singleton pointer before it was set.

Since the introduction of VirtualDesktopManager we do have a signal
emitted when the desktop layout changes which we can use as NOTIFY for
the desktopGrid properties.

The ownership for virtual desktops is moved from Workspace into a new
VirtualDesktopManager. The manager is responsible for providing the count
of virtual desktops and keeping track of the currently used virtual
desktop.
All methods related to moving between desktops are also moved from
Workspace to the new manager, though all methods related to Clients on
Virtual Desktops remain in Workspace for the time being. This is to have
the new manager as independent from KWin core as possible.
An rather important change for the handling of virtual desktops is that
the count and the id of a desktop is now an unsinged integer instead of
an integer. The reason for that is that we cannot have a negative count
of desktops as well as it is not possible to be on a desktop with a
negative identifier.
In that regard it is important to remember that a Client can be on a
desktop with a negative identifier. The special value for a Client being
on all desktops is handled by using -1 as a desktop. For the time being
this is not adjusted but instead of comparing the virtual desktop ids one
should prefer to use the convenient methods like isOnDesktop and
isOnAllDesktops. This would allow in future to internally change the
representation for on all desktops.
New properties for the current activity and the available
activities plus related signals in scripts. Signals added to
effects.

ScreenEdge is changed to emit a signal whenever a screen edge
got activated without an action or effect taking care of it.
A Script can reserve one to many callbacks for an edge and the
callback get's triggered whenever the signal is emitted. On
deconstruction of the Script the edge is unreserved again.

If workspace is exported as a context property there seem to be
issues with the signals which are not bound to a property of
WorkspaceWrapper.
This problems seems to be fixable by exporting the workspace
property as a global property on the script engine.
As a side-effect this also resolves the issue with the clientList,
so we can drop the hack again.

Sometimes Qt is surprising. Apparently QML has problems with a
QList<KWin::Client*> and wants to have a QList<QObject*> which
cannot be used in QtScript.
There ends my dream of having one API for both JavaScript and QML.
So with QtScript it is:
workspace.clientList()
and in QML it is:
workspace.getClientList()
Client has a property for demands attention and Workspace
is emitting a signal whenever the demands attention state
of any Client changes.

This adds extensive support information about the running instance
by printing out all used options, the compositing information
including GL platform, loaded effects and active effects.
The debug output can be retrieved through D-Bus:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation
or through a KWin Script (use desktop console):
print(workspace.supportInformation())

All slots not requiring to be triggered from a QAction are exported.
This means that switchToDesktop is not exported but also not required,
as we have this through the properties.
Needs documentation...
For this a new MetaObject "KWin" is exported to have the
enum ClientAreaOption available in scripts. Unfortunately this
requires duplicating the enum from kwinglobals.h.
