Summary:
The Glide effect should not animate the Application Dashboard because
it's not an ordinary application or a dialog. Same applies to Kickoff,
panel popups, etc.
The most obvious solution would be to add "plasmashell plasmashell"
window class to the blacklist, but we still would like to animate some
of plasmashell's windows, for example, Empty Trash Bin confirmation
dialog (if the trash bin icon is on the desktop).
One could notice that the Empty Trash Bin confirmation dialog, Task
Manager Settings window, and other plasmashell's windows that we want
to animate have decorations. So, we can use that as a heuristic.
Test Plan: Opened/closed the Application Dashboard.

Summary:
There are several reasons why I "re-wrote" the Glide effect:
* it doesn't work correctly because it suffers from undesired perspective distortions: {F5914378}
The worst part is that windows are distorted so much on multiple monitor setups that it's hard to say whether that's glide animation.
* window close animation is not quite intuitive: if the close button is
located at the top and I click it, I would expect that window is
rotated around the bottom edge, not the top; (IMHO)
* it's too much distracting when working on something for quite good
amount of time: e.g. when editing photos, which involves a big number
of different dialogs;
* there are issues with deletion of QTimeLine;
* windows are not gracefully released if some other effect grabs them;
* its code doesn't follow common coding style in KWin.
So, the "new" Glide effect is more subtle, it's possible to have
different rotation edges for window open/close animations, it doesn't
animate special windows(like audio volume feedback), the code is simpler
and readable. Yet, there are some issues with QTimeLine, which are
common to all effects in KWin anyway.

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 glide effect tried to not animate any window the SlidingPopups
effect animates. But it detected that in a very crude way. It announced
the KDE_SLIDE atom and checked for windows having that property set.
This has a few disadvantages:
* KWindowEffects::isEffectAvailable gets confused as an effect announces
support for SlidingPopups which doesn't provide SlidingPopups
* The approach can only work for X11 windows
* The approach causes X11 usage in the ctor
With this change the GlideEffect implements a slot for
EffectsHandler::windowDataChanged to detect that the SlidingPopupsEffect
grabbed the window. The X11 atom interaction is removed.

Summary:
A new method to tell the effects system whether the compositor scene
is able to drive animations. E.g. on software emulation (llvmpipe) it's
better to not do any animations at all.
This information can be used by effects to adjust their behavior, e.g.
PresentWindows could skip transitions or effects can use it in their
supported check to completely disable themselves.
As a first step all scripted effects are considered to be unsupported
if animations are not supported. They inherit AnimationEffect and are
all about driving animations.
The information whether animations are supported comes from the Scene.
It's implemented in the following way:
* XRender: animations are always supported
* QPainter: animations are never supported
* OpenGL: animations are supported, except for software emulation
In addition - for easier testing - there is a new env variable
KWIN_EFFECTS_FORCE_ANIMATIONS to overwrite the selection.

xcbutils.h has quite a few inline only implementations such as Xcb::Atom,
the Wrappers, Xcb::Window and the convenient methods. Thus there is
nothing wrong with using it from the built-in Effects.
Xcb::Atom is used in Glide and Logout Effect to get the atom. To keep the
logic of the existing code it got extended by a bool isValid() which
gets the reply and returns true if the atom is set.

So far the effects could just use the connection() and rootWindow()
provided by kwinglobals. Thus an internal detail from KWin core is
accessed directly.
To be more consistent with the rest of the API it's wrapped through the
EffectsHandler and with a convenient method in Effect.
The connection() is provided as xcbConnection() to free the very generic
name connection which could create confusion once we provide a wayland
connection to the Effects.
The rootWindow() is provided as x11RootWindow() to indicate that it is
for the X11 world.

* 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.
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.

* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
This method can be used to get the animationTime in case a configuration
class generated through KConfigXT is used. In general the configuration
stores the magic value 0 for a property "duration". This magic value
indicates that a hard-coded default value should be used.
So the common logic to test the stored value for 0 and then either pass
the stored value or the default value to animationTime is encapsulated
in this method in a generic way.
A MyEffect can use it in the following way:
animationTime<MyEffectConfig>(200);

The CompositingType enum turns into flags and two new values are
introduced: OpenGL1Compositing and OpenGL2Compositing.
Those new values are or-ed to OpenGLCompositing so that a simple check
for the flag OpenGLCompositing works in case of one of those two new
values. To make the generic check for OpenGL compositing easier a method
in EffectsHandler is introduced to just check for this.
The scenes now return either OpenGL1Compositing or OpenGL2Compositing
depending on which Scene implementation. None returns OpenGLCompositing.
The public member variables for opacity, saturation and brightness
are removed in favor for getter and setters. The variables are
moved into a private class. Those are now qreal instead of double.
To make usage inside the effects easier a multiply method is added
which multiplies the current value with passed in factor and returns
the new value in a functional programming style.

Each effect is able to declare itself as currently being active,
that is transforming windows or painting or screen or doing anything
during the current rendered frame.
This change eliminates the hottest path inside KWin identified by

Warnings were:
glide.h:74:16: warning: possible problem detected in invocation of delete operator:
glide.h:74:16: warning: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct QTimeLine'
glide.h:28:7: warning: forward declaration of 'struct QTimeLine'
glide.h:74:16: note: neither the destructor nor the class-specific operator delete will be called, even if they are declared when the class is defined.
The KWin::TimeLine class was only a small wrapper around QTimeLine
without adding anything to QTimeLine what is not present in QTimeLine.
The initial idea was to make it possible to provide more curve shapes.
This is now obsoleted by Qt shipping more useful curves with QTimeLine.
So let's clean up a little bit and use QTimeLine directly instead of
the small wrapper.
All effects are adjusted to use QTimeLine directly.
Client and Unmanaged use a signal to notify that they are about to be closed.
The EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to those signals and emits the appropriate
windowClosed signal to which the effects are connected.
All previously existing windowAdded methods are renamed to slotWindowAdded.
EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to Workspace's clientAdded signal, which is
emitted a little bit earlier than the previous direct method call. This might
change behavior.
Another signal is added to Workspace to signal that an unmanaged is added.
* use TimeLine data memeber instead pointer to prevent leaking
* only setTransformed() if there's really a current animation, not if "a window we know is mapped"
* therefore use a poperty to know whether the effect manages a deleted window
* set the TRANSFORMED flag in prePaintWindow as it should be
