The compilation step still takes a significant amount of time on the
first launch. On my machine, it's around 1s. Even if it happens just
once, freezing the session for 1 second is not great.
This change makes the overview effect load main.qml asynchronously
when plasma session starts. By the time the session is loaded, it should
be ready.

With LayerShell all docks were in the above layer to match with the
semantics of the specification. Under X11 our main panel was also in the
above layer by setting the keep above flag.
The only thing that ended up in the dock layer were wayland applet
popups, and that was mostly by accident. When they get a transient
parent fixed they'll end up in the AboveLayer anyway so we should drop
it now to reduce complications.
This fixes a bug where applet popups could go under the panel.
BUG: 465354
It's no longer relevant after merging libkwin and libkwineffects. By
dropping EffectsHandler::renderScreen() and making the screen transform
use the Scene API directly, we can clean up some OpenGL context handling
code.
Offscreen quick views are repainted in the pre paint step because that
requires a QOpenGLContext and we don't want it to mess with kwin's
opengl context. After a view is updated, its QOpenGLContext is going to
be unbound.
During normal operation mode, it works as expected:
- the view gets updated in the pre paint stage
- kwin opengl context is made current when starting the paint stage
- the offscreen view is painted on the screen
However, effects->renderScreen() has no such separation. The OpenGL
context changes from the pre paint stage will leak to the paint stage.
So we have
- the workspace notifies that the screens have changed
- the screen transform effect sees that, makes opengl context current
and renders the screen
- the offscreen quick view is updated and after OffscreenQuickView
is done, it's going to call QOpenGLContext::doneCurrent()
- effects->renderScreen() calls m_scene->paint()
- since there's no current opengl context, vbo allocation in
GLTexture::render() will fail and nothing will be rendered on the
screen
As a way around it, this change adds a makeOpenGLContextCurrent() call
before the paint stage. It doesn't quite belong there, the opengl
context has to be made current in the paint stage, e.g. by the
ItemRenderer or something. But atm we have no good place where we
could stick it in.
