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.
