Summary:
The new connect syntax has several advantages over the old syntax:
(a) Connecting with the new syntax is faster;
(b) It is compile time checked.
There are still a few places where the old connect syntax is used, e.g.
connecting to QML buttons in the Desktop Grid effect.
Test Plan:
Have been testing this patch for ~2 weeks, haven't noticed any
regressions.

Summary:
Without Xwayland KWin starts so fast that the creation of the EffectFrame
triggers a crash in the Wayland integration as the KWin internal
connection isn't fully setup.
To workaround this crash the creation of the EffectFrame is delayed till
the first usage. It doesn't make sense to try to fix the actual crash as
it would require to defer the creation of all Effects.
Test Plan: New test case added which crashes without this fix.

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.

Most is just switched to the ::read(). That should be enough for all the
Effects which have a KSharedConfig::Ptr underneath. If not we just need
to find a good place to put the reload.
Implemented in KWin core to forward to new global shortcut system. This
method should be extended/changed once we go to Qt5/KF5 to make the usage
easier (no more KAction).
Each global shortcut in the effects makes use of this new method.
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.
[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.

Most effects had a "collection" for one action. We don't need the
action collection, all it was used for is setting the object name.
With the removal of KActionCollection the effects do not need to link
XmlGui any more, though the dependency is still pulled in through
plasma.
insufficient since there can be windows/content on top of the
moved window and the labels are painted on top of the scene

* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
Many headers included KLocale to use i18n and co. But those methods are
defined in KLocalizedString and not in KLocale.
With KF5 klocale.h does no longer include KLocalizedString causing lots
of compile errors.
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.

The branch contains the first step in reworking the kwineffects
library. This includes:
* replacing virtuals by signals and slots
* dropping some unused methods
* remove KWin::TimeLine
More to come.

kwin/workspace.cpp
First a signal is emitted when the user starts a move/resize operation.
During the move/resize operation each geometry change emits an update signal.
Last but not least a finish signal is emitted.
This eliminates the specific method for geometry updates in drawbound resize
mode.
1. The I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING that appears when moving or resizing one
window. The problem happens because when declaring the variables
myResizeString, myCoordString[0] and myCoordString_[1] i18nc tries to
replace %1, %2, %3, and %4, but those arguments are not passed here.
Using #define we avoid the argument passsage.
2. Replace QString::arg() with direct formating, which is better for
performance.
I know we should avoid #define but in this case I think it is the best
option. If anyone has a better alternative feel free to change this
commit.
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.
