Summary:
In D12678 blur was changed to use `blitFromFramebuffer()` instead of `glCopyTexSubImage2D()`
Now it checks if the GPU supports it.

Summary:
Blur should now work on Wayland when scaling is used.
This does not affect X11 as `GLRenderTarget::virtualScreenScale()` is always 1 on X11
BUG: 391387
Depends on D12678
Test Plan:
- log in in a Wayland session
- turn display scaling to 2x
- open a transparent window (for example: Konsole with transparent and blur enabled profile)
- blurs the content under the window corretly

Summary:
`QGuiApplication::primaryScreen()->logicalDotsPerInch()` sometimes reports incorrect scale value, for example 95.951 (or even lower) instead of 96.0 at 1x scale and this caused to simply darken blurred areas instead of noising them.
This patch sets a minimum 1x scale for the noise texture, because realistically we will never be below that.

Summary:
Since the new blur is more efficient "fastblur" or "simpleblur" is not needed anymore for fullscreen blur.
Even my old low-end laptop from 2009 (with Intel T3300) can easily do fullscreen blur now with the new method without any hitch at all.

Summary:
Updated the old and outdated blur method to use the much more efficient dual kawase blur method.
Now with this we can do virtually infinite blur with very very little performance cost.
The dual kawase blur method is basically downscaling and upscaling an image, but combined with the kawase blur shader.
Comparison: https://i.imgur.com/mh6Cw61.png
Left is old, right is new.
Comparison was done with the strongest blur setting in a VM running on an Intel i7-4790 and a GTX980
We can see here that the performance is even better with this new method.

From the wayland commit.
>What surprises me is that BlurManager recreates for Output changes.
>That sounds like a bug in KWin (or an area which could be improved).
I had thought the same and wrote this (though wanted to have kwayland fixed first)
Test Plan:
Logged in and out (my screen resizes on startup due to scaling)
Tested on my X machine by turning a screen off. Nothing broke, plasma
panels looked the same.
Note: Eike tried this patch last week and claimed kwin still crashed.
We don't have a backtrace so it could have been something unrelated,
applied wrong or that he was deliberately lying to wind me up.

Summary:
Several effects announce a support property atom on the root window. This
change forwards the KWin::Application's signal that the xcbConnection
changed to the EffectsHandler so that the effects can respond to it.
All effects which announce a support property connect to this new signal
and re-announce the property. In case the xcb connection died (future
XWayland crashing case) it is set to XCB_ATOM_NONE by that. In case the
xcb connection got created (future delayed XWayland startup) the atom is
set to the proper value.
In addition all usages of the support properties are guarded, so that no
nonesense actions are performed if the support property is XCB_ATOM_NONE.

Summary:
This patch caputres from the framebuffer using the framebuffer's
geometry, factoring in scale. We then keep the current normal DPI
framebuffer causing it to downsample there.
This is good because:
- it keeps the code very simple
- it's a performance optimisation. Blurring on 4k is naturally more
expensive than at regular DPI. Downsampling keeps it the same - and you
can't see a difference given it's high DPI and you're going to blur it
anwyay.
- it keeps kernel sizes somewhat resolution independent so it will look
just as blurry across multiple screens.
::doCachedBlur still needs doing.

Summary:
By changing all kcfg to have arg="true" we can pass in the same
KSharedConfigPtr into all effects. This allows to have fake config in
the tests and in the planned effect demo mode.
Also it means that we don't have to hardcode the name kwinrc into the
files. In the configs - where we cannot access the effectshandler - we
use the define KWIN_CONFIG which gets generated based on the compile
time arguments.

Summary:
The glCopyTex(Sub)Image calls are adjusted to take the per output
rendering into account. In addition contrast effect sets the model view
projection matrix in each call to ensure it's on the correct screen.
Blur probably needs more changes for the cached texture to work, but
it's a start.

Effects which require mipmaps need to check for LimitedNPOT and
disable the functionality if only limited NPOT is available.
Ideally the effects could also check whether the texture they
operate on is a power of two, but that's a little overkill for
the rather uncommon setup.

If a window is fullscreen and wants fullscreen blur behind it, we
use the blur from logout effect. This is mostly intended for the
Application Dashboard which requires a fullscreen blur. The generic
blur effect is not designed for such usage and is rather costly.
This simplified blur just needs framebuffer blit and midmaps. This
makes it rather cheap in usage and also doesn't need a cached texture.
REVIEW: 126906
The blur effect so far calculated a custom model view projection matrix.
This is not needed as we have the current projection matrix available in
WindowPaintData and EffectFrame.

Instead of getting size from displayWidth() and displayHeight() use
the information we have from Screens. This means there is only one
place to have the information and by that we can ensure that all
components use the same data to rely on. displayWidth/displayHeight
seem to provide the wrong information when unplugging an output
without disabling the output. This results in rendering artefacts.
But KWin::Screens has the correct information available.
Affected effects
* Blur and Contrast Shader to get atom name
* Glide effect for the slide atom
* startupfeedback for cursor size - read from config now and cached
* showfps used an xsync, replaced by flush
* logout effect for creating hack items

Most is just switched to the ::read(). That should be enough for all the
Effects which have a KSharedConfig::Ptr underneath. If not we just need
to find a good place to put the reload.
KWin already has a de facto OpenGL 2 dependency through QML. Combined
with the fact that the OpenGL 1 backend is basically unmaintained and
also unused, it's better to remove it for the new major release.
This change includes:
* Removal of cmake option KWIN_BUILD_OPENGL_1_COMPOSITING
* Removal of KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 compile option and all code
ifdef'ed with it (partially removal of if-else constructs)
* Removal of CompositingType::OpenGL1Compositing (flags are kept
as a core flag should get introduced)
* Driver recommendation for OpenGL1Compositing changed to XRender
(should be evaluated whether the drivers can provide GL2)
* Removal of configuration option "GLLegacy"
* Removal of fooMatrix function in kwinglutils
* Removal of ARBBlurShader
* Removal of legacy code path in GLVertexBuffer
* Removal of GLShaderManager::disable
* if-blocks with ShaderManager::instance()->isValid() removed
REVIEW: 116042
Rational behind this change is that displayWidth and displayHeight are
X specific API calls in kwinglobals. For the future it's easier to only
rely on functionality which goes through the EffectsHandler API which
allows easier adjustments in KWin core.
displayWidth() and displayHeight() are only used to get the size or the
complete rect of all screens. This is also provided by:
effects->virtualScreenGeometry() or
effects->virtualScreenSize()
REVIEW: 116021
As all effects have always been compiled into the same .so file it's
questionable whether resolving the effects through a library is useful
at all. By linking against the built-in effects we gain the following
advantages:
* don't have to load/unload the KLibrary
* don't have to resolve the create, supported and enabled functions
* no version check required
* no dependency resolving (effects don't use it)
* remove the KWIN_EFFECT macros from the effects
All the effects are now registered in an effects_builtins file which
maps the name to a factory method and supported or enabled by default
methods.
During loading the effects we first check whether there is a built-in
effect by the given name and make a shortcut to create it through that.
If that's not possible the normal plugin loading is used.
Completely unscientific testing [1] showed an improvement of almost 10
msec during loading all the effects I use.
[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.
REVIEW: 115073
Instead of each effect, which needs to announce support, having custom
code to create a property and set it on the root window, there is now a
common API in EffectsHandler to take care of this.
The methods takes care of creating the atom if it has not already done
and set the property on the root window. Furthermore it allows multiple
effects to announce the same property without getting in conflict with
each other.
As a further convenience the property is automatically removed when the
effect is unloaded, so less things an effect author has to care about.

A decoration can provide the AbilityAnnounceAlphaChannel in addition to
AbilityUsesAlphaChannel. If this ability is provided the decoration can
enable/disable the use of the alpha channel through setAlphaEnabled().
The base idea behind this mechanism is to be able to tell the compositor
that currently alpha is not needed. An example is the maximized state in
which the decoration is fully opaque so that there is no need to use the
translucency code path which would render all windows behind the deco.
In addition also the blur effect honors this setting so that behind a
known opaque decoration no blurring is performed.
Oxygen is adjusted to disable translucency in maximized state and Aurorae
is adjusted to allow themes to enable/disable translucency. For Plastik
translucency and with that also blurring is disabled.
REVIEW: 106810
The logic has already ensured that the ARBBlurShader can only be used
when using the OpenGL1 compositor, the OpenGL 2 compositor needs to use
the GLSLBlurShader.
This change moves the complete ARBBlurShader into a KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1
ifdef section.
As a side-effect the ::create method can now return a NULL pointer which
makes more sense then returning an ARBBlurShader in case that the
GLSLShader is not supported.
REVIEW: 106738
If the build option is enabled KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 is passed as a compile
flag when build against OpenGL.
This compile flag is meant to replace the KWIN_HAVE_OPENGLES. So far code
has been ifdefed for special behavior of OpenGL ES 2.0 and to remove
fixed functionality calls which are not available in OpenGL ES 2.0.
With this build flag the fixed functionality calls which are only used in
the OpenGL1 Compositor can be removed and keeping the KWIN_HAVE_OPENGLES
for the real differences between OpenGL 2.x and OpenGL ES 2.0.
E.g. a call like glColor4f should be in an
glColor4f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
while a call like glPolygonMode should be in an
glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_LINE);
Building for OpenGL ES 2.0 of course implies that KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 is
not defined.
