To get an image from KWin to the screen in the DRM pipeline we combine a CRTC,
an encoder and a connector. These objects are static in the sense, that they
represent real hardware on the graphics card, which doesn't change in a
session. See here for more details:
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/drm/gpu/drm-kms.html
Until now we used DrmOutput as the main representation for such an active
rendering pipeline. I.e. it gets created and destroyed on hot plug events of
displays. On the other side we had no fixed representation of the static kernel
objects throughout the lifetime of KWin. This has several disadvantages:
* We always need to query all available static objects on an hot plug event.
* We can't manipulate the frame buffer of a CRTC after an output has been
disconnected
* Adding functionality for driving multiple displays on a single CRTC (i.e.
cloning) would be difficult
* We can't destroy the last frame buffer on display disconnect because the CRTC
still accesses it and have therefore a memory leak on every display disconnect
This patch solves these issues by storing representations of all available CRTC
and Connector objects in DrmBackend on init via DrmCrtc and DrmConnector
instances. On an hotplug event these vectors are looped for a fitting CRTC and
Connector combinations. Buffer handling is moved to the respective CRTC
instance. All changes in overview:
* Query all available CRTCs and Connectors and save for subsequent hotplug
events
* Fix logic errors in `queryResources()`
* Move framebuffers, buffer flip and blank logic in DrmCrtc
* Remove `restoreSaved()`. It isn't necessary and is dangerous if the old
framebuffer was deleted in the meantime. Also could reveal sensitive user
info from old session.
Test Plan:
Login, logout, VT switching, connect and disconnect external monitor, energy
saving mode.

Summary:
To have touch events working we need to do memory layout changes on the
xcb events. This is fine for identifying the touch events which should
trigger the screen edge. But when passed on to Qt to have QtQuick windows
(e.g. Alt+Tab) handle the touch events, this results in a problem:
Qt itself does also the memory movement and then the movement is double
and touch events break.
To prevent this problem an RAII class is added which moves the memory in
the ctor and moves it back in the dtor. So during KWin's processing it
has the right memory layout and later on in Qt's processing it has the
proper "wrong" layout which Qt can fix again.
Test Plan: Touch events in Alt+Tab work

Summary:
Another regression from enabling touch support on X11.
The approach window for pointer input gets unmapped as soon as the mouse
enters the window. This ensures that mouse motion events are not stolen
from other applications. But with the touch events we did not even react
on the enter event if it's not activated for pointer. The result was an
area around the screenedge being blocked for pointer input.
This change only creates and maps the approach window if the edge is
activated for pointer input.

Summary:
Each Edge creates a SwipeGesture for touch activation. The swipe needs to
be a single finger starting from the edge into the screen for at least
20 %. The SwipeGesture and GestureRecognizer is extended to support the
use cases of the touch screen edge swipe.
New features supported by the gesture system are:
* minimum and maximum position
* a minimum delta for the swipe
* progress signal based on the minimum delta
* starting a swipe with a start point
The Edge has the progress signal connected to its approach signal, thus
visual feedback is provided through the screen edge effect.
The screen edge system supports touch only for the edges (corners are
too difficult to activate on touch screens). At the moment the following
features are supported:
* screen edge show/raise of windows (e.g. auto hidden panels)
* trigger the configured action
* trigger the configured callback function (e.g. script)
In future it might make sense to add a touch specific configuration
action to support different actions for screen edges activated by mouse
and touch.

configured a screen edge and triggered through touch,
added an auto-hiding panel and triggered through touch

The logic on page flips was inconsistent in the sense, that it should never
release a GBM buffer before it's not used (i.e. viewable on the display)
anymore. This happened unintended until now (on page flip we never really
did something useful in the else statement, because if we're here it's not
a GBM buffer anyway).
With this patch we:
* delete on page flips always only the old buffer, which is not used anymore
* release the buffer earlier on interrupts like display disconnect in order
to be able to destroy the EGL context
Test Plan:
Tested in non atomic mode (atomic mode is obsolete right now until my other
WIP patch D4539 is ready to be merged): Login, logout, suspend, normal use.

Summary:
The functionality regarding triggering modifier only shortcuts is moved
out of Xkb - where it doesn't belong to - and is turned into an input
event spy listening for the changes it is interested in. Previously
the state got queried by asking e.g. for the pressed buttons, now it's
tracked directly.
The X11 side needs a larger change due to that as now pushing the events
into Xkb does not trigger modifier only shortcuts any more. Instead the
"normal" way through the platform API needs to be used which triggers the
processing of filters and spies.
The problem here is that our redirections only process events if they are
inited and that only happens on Wayland. We cannot call init on them as
that would create all the Wayland filters and spies and processing would
probably break. As an intermediate solution the spies are now processed
and there we know that it won't matter. A future solution would be to
remove the init checks completely and just send through both filters and
spies and ensure that on X11 only the supported ones are loaded.

Summary:
InputRedirection has a workaround to add a connect on a QAction which
is used for a global shortcut. This is specific to the X11 platform as
the xtime needs to be updated.
This change adds a new virtual method to the Platform and moves the
implementation into the X11 standalone platform. Thus it does no longer
gets called on Wayland.

Summary:
HWcomposer version 1.4 introduced setPowerMode, which replaces the
blank(). This adds support for it. There are various code paths
possible,
- If KWin is built against hwcomposer 1.3 headers, then setPowerMode
code is not compiled in, and it will use blank to turn display off.
- If KWin is built against hwcomposer 1.4 headers, it will have
setPowerMode code path compiled in. It will be used only on devices with
1.4 and 1.5 version of hwcomposer.
This is slightly insane, because Android can report hwcomposer 1.5 even
when headers are of 1.4 version..
Test Plan: Tested this on Nexus 5X which reports 1.5 version of hwcomposer

This supports "grabbing" the pointer on right ctrl key just like on X11.
If the Wayland server supports pointer constraints protocol, the nested
Wayland compositor creates a confined pointer if the right ctrl key is
pressed.
On another right ctrl press the (active) constraint gets removed again.
To indicate the current state the window title gets updated. This also
implements window title support for the first time.

Summary:
Instead of having the egl extensions in the global kwinglutils lib it
becomes private to the AbstractEglBackend. Just like on glx the
glxextensions are moved into the platform.
The extensions are queried from initEglAPI, that is as early as possible
after initializing the EGLDisplay. This ensures that any implementing
subclass can access the extensions early enough.
As a note: the EglOnXBackend had a potentially wrong sequence for
initializing the buffer age extension. It is now moved to the correct
place where the result is needed for the first time.
From the global API eglExtensions are removed from hasGLExtension and
the eglExtensions function is dropped. As by that initEGL did not do
anything it is also dropped.

Tested nested kwin on Wayland, still works, extensions shown
