This fixes the sliding popups losing their contrast effect when
animating, less flicker.
In this patch, we temporarily force the contrast effect on, but only if
it hasn't been explicitely disabled. As soon as the animation stops, the
force flag is disabled again. For disappearing windows, we just set the
flag in the same way, but skip over the bookkeeping, since the window is
going to be deleted, anyway.

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.

That's what you get for changing code you cannot properly test. The
calculation was completely messed up. Now reads the correct byte size
for the byte array. In addition the usages in the effects are improved
to cast the data into the proper uint32_t values instead of the more
generic long. After all if the format is 32, the length is 32 and not
a long.
* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
Animation now completely based on the expandedGeometry which includes the
shadows and another repaint at the end of the animation is added to
ensure that there are no leftover shadows.

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.

during the release candidates I'm going to revert.

Make use of new extension of protocol for magic number -1.
If offset is -1 KWin has to decide the offset. This fixes all the
incorrect animations and allows us to perform clipping again by
filtering out the window quads which should not be visible.
Additionally the effect now sanitizes the offset. That is for e.g.
Yakuake setting an offset of 0, but there is a strut on the top
corner causing Yakuake not to appear on 0, but with an offset of
the strut. Such cases are now considered as well and the animation
is fixed.

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
callgrind.

As this area was not repainted it caused visual garbage during
animationgs. Most visible with yakuake and a panel at the top.
Offset in that case is the upper screenedge while yakuake is
positioned below the panel. The area of the panel did not get
repainted causing the garbage.

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.
Since the EffectFrames have been moved into KWin core nothing in the
Effects lib actually used Plasma. The only remaining method is moved
to core as it's not used in the Effects. The Effects itself still
link against Plasma, so nothing changes for them.
The Plasma includes in the kwineffects header seemed to pull in
quite some additional headers, so the includes in some effects have
to be adjusted (most often KConfigGroup). This should speed up the
compilation of the library and the effects.
It is not always required to do a full repaint in each frame. E.g. in sliding popups the repaint areas are known and tracked.
This change reduces the painting overhead to just the window area.
Nevertheless I consider this change as experimental and will revert the commit in case it introduces rendering glitches.
Other effects which are good candidates for this flag is wobbly windows, magic lamp, minimize or in general all effects which transform just one window.
