Summary:
On wayland blur on secondary monitor would not render correctly.
BUG: 393723
Depends on D12452
Test Plan:
- use more than one output
- log in in a wayland session
- open a transparent window (for example: Konsole with transparent and blur enabled profile)
- drag the window to another screen
- blurs the content under the window corretly

Summary:
Added the option to turn on noise behind the blurred area.
The lowest strength value disables it completely, so it is optional and is disabled by default.
Test Plan:
Edit: this new screenshot shows the updated noise generation.
Edit2: separated the screenshots so you can flick through them to clearly see the differences

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Updated the old and outdated blur method to use the much more efficient dual kawase blur method.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.

Summary:
Instead of calling reconfigure() on screen size changes, which deletes
and recreates the effect, we can just update the one texture that's mapped to
the screen size.
---
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.

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.
REVIEW: 126215
Following the approach how it's done for X11: only create the interface
if the shader succeeded to compile and remove support again if it failed
to compile after a reconfigure.

This method replaces the X-KDE-ORDERING property in the Effect's desktop
files. This change is a preparation step for integrating the new Effect
Loader which doesn't read the ordering information. Thus it needs to be
provided by the Effect itself so that the EffectsHandler can properly
insert it into the chain.
Also for the built-in Effects on the long run it doesn't make much sense
to install the desktop files. And binary plugin effects will migrate to
json metadata which also doesn't have the KService::Ptr. Thus overall it
simplifies to read this information directly from the Effect.
In effects it's obvious that compositing is enabled, so specifying the
translucent element is no problem.
In tabbox a context property "compositing" is injected which decides
whether "translucent" or "opaque" elements should be used. Here the
translucent elements are only used if the Blur effect is available - for
this a new Effect::Feature Blur is introduced and in addition it is
tested whether the theme provides the translucent element.
Also the masking is adjusted to ensure that only the shadow is not
blurred.
Reason for this change is that Plasma theme seems not always to pick up
whether compositing is used when used from inside KWin. It does not cover
the Desktop Change OSD which uses PlasmaCore.Dialog and there we cannot
(yet) inject that we use compositing.
Overall I'm quite unhappy with this patch and I do hope we can fix it in
the proper place in the lifetime of 4.10 and revert this patch.

The supportInformation is extended to also read the properties
on all effects. In addition each effect can be queried just for
itself through D-Bus, e.g.:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformationForEffect kwin4_effect_blur
All effects are extended to provide their configured and read
settings through properties. In some cases also important
runtime information is exposed.

This patch adds a new function Toplevel::addLayerRepaint, that in contrast
to addWorkspaceRepaint does not invalidate every blur texture cache that
overlaps with that region. As the name suggests it rather invalidates the
to the window associated layer at that position. This is especially useful
in the case of move/resize events in combination with oxygen-transparent,
where the altered window is almost always the topmost window and the blur
texture cache of the windows underneath are unchanged.
For the case of fully opaque windows the behaviour of addLayerRepaint
and addWorkspaceRepaint should be same.

This fixes graphical glitches that appear next to the borders of plasma
tooltips. Additionally I added a variable that forces the effect to
drop the cache, which might be useful in the future to fix bugs.
This patch introduces some kind of damage propagation. In the old version of the blur effect
we had to repaint the whole window if sth behind the blurred area was damaged. The new texture
cache, which was introduced by the last patch, gives us the opportunity to only update parts of
blurred background texture. This means that the damaged area can only propagate with the speed
of the blurring radius per window layer.
REVIEW: 102665
This patch adds an optional texture cache to the blur effect such that damaged windows in
front of the blurred region dont trigger a repaint of the whole blurred region which pretty
often results in a avalanche repaint of nearly the whole screen.
REVIEW: 101977
Optimize the region of the screen that's painted in each frame,
and paint the windows top-to-bottom when the damaged region doesn't
intersect any blurred areas.
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.
Applications can use this hint to specify the region under the
the window where the blur effect will be applied.
