The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
Kdelibs coding style states the following about whitespace placement:
> For pointers or references, use a single space before '*' or '&', but not after
Source: https://community.kde.org/Policies/Kdelibs_Coding_Style#Whitespace
Also, putting a whitespace after ! is not common in KWin.
Test Plan: Switched between virtual desktops.

Summary:
The new slide effect tries to separate each virtual desktop
as much as possible. This separation makes the new slide
effect more intuitive than the old one.
Test Plan:
* switch between virtual desktops
* or, move a window to another virtual desktop

Summary:
At the moment, there is no way to tweak duration of the slide animation.
This change adds a configuration module so it is possible to change
the duration.
Test Plan:
* enable virtual desktops
* go to `System Settings > Desktop Behaviour > Desktop Effects`
and select Slide effect under "Virtual Desktop Switching Animation"
* click settings/options button and change duration
