So far updating the cursor image was not really defined. It was possible
to use the cursor image from the wayland seat or have a custom set cursor
image. But there are no rules in place to decide which one to use when.
With this change a dedicated CursorImage class is introduced which tracks
the cursor image changes on the seat, on the decoration, in the effects
and so on. In addition it tracks which is the current source for the
image, that is whether e.g. the cursor from the seat or from effects
override should be used. Whenever the cursor image changes a signal is
emitted, which is connected to the signal in AbstractBackend.
Based on that the backends can directly show the image. The existing
code in the backends to install a cursor shape or to install the cursor
from the server is completely dropped. For the backend it's irrelevant
from where the image comes from.
A new feature added is that the cursor image is marked as rendered. This
is then passed on to the frame rendered in the Surface and thus animated
cursors are finally working. Unfortunately animated cursors are broken in
Qt (see https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48181 ).
The backend is prepared for managing multiple x11 windows. Currently
it's still only one window, but it's all internally working through
the architecture for multiple windows.
Distributions do package each backend plugin in a dedicated package,
which means just because KWin got compiled with a specific backend,
doesn't mean it is also available at runtime.
In order to better support this reality this change introduces a
list-backends command line option. Each of the plugins got the json
metadata extended by the KPlugin syntax, so that we have a name and
description to print.
As we already locate all plugins anyway, the additional findPlugins for
the selected backend is changed to search the list of all plugin meta
data.
When pressing right control key the input gets grabbed/released.
The grab is for both keyboard and pointer and pointer is also confined
to the window.
How to grab/ungrab is added to the window title.
Let's rather not build the plugin if we don't have the dependency
then building it without OpenGL support. Simplifies the code a bit
and makes the backend overall more useful and goes along with e.g.
the Wayland one which has EGL also as a hard dependency for the
plugin.

It doesn't make much sense any more as we do no longer link EGL since the
switch to epoxy. And epoxy pulls it in at runtime if needed.
Even more on Wayland it's just plain stupid to have EGL disabled. So
removing the option just simplifies our code base without any
disadvantages.
REVIEW: 124695
We don't need to queue the method invokation any more to ensure the
Wayland server connection is flushed since we have the dispatch method
in waylandServer().
Each of the backends becomes a plugin. This allows kwin_wayland to load
the requested plugin and kwin itself doesn't need to link all the
libraries needed. E.g. libdrm is no longer linked if running kwin_x11.
Also this allows to create backends for the non-standard EGL platforms
(examples could be raspberrypi or Android devices).
With this change all backends need to emit the screensQueried signal
at some point. So far only x11 backend did not provide the signal,
wayland had a comparable delayed init mechanism. Now all backends use
the same mechanism.
Replaces the functionality of the WaylandBackend and makes it available
to all backends by providing the functionality directly in
AbstractBackend. By default a backend is not ready and the implementation
must call setReady(true) to indicate that setup has finished
successfully. The compositor won't start till the backend indicates that
it is ready.
The aim is to be able to create a plugin for each of the backends.
The following directories are created:
* backends/drm
* backends/fbdev
* backends/wayland
* backends/x11
