Scripting has proved it's point of being useful so it's time to turn it
into a mandatory part of KWin.
Also I start to use features provided by Scripting in more and more
parts of KWin core (e.g. sharing QQmlEngine) which makes it in the
long to complicated to have a build option and ifdefs for it.

It's no longer needed as there won't be a KWin version specific to
Plasma Active. We want to have runtime adjustments of all parts in
the next version of Plasma.

This simplifies the plugin loading. Decorations just have to use
K_PLUGIN_FACTORY to specify how the KDecorationFactory needs to be
created. The KWIN_DECORATION macro is adjusted to generate the
boiler plate code, but it now needs to specify the name for the
pluginfactory and the KDecorationFactory.
This also transits the decoration abi version check to use
K_EXPORT_PLUGIN_VERSION which also simplifies the loading.
As a result the complete canLoad handling in DecorationPlugins is
removed.

strace -e open kate |& grep -v NOENT | grep oxygenrc | wc -l
went from 8 to 4
(and when looking for kdeglobals, from 13 to 11)
There's still a lot of work to be done in that area...
(within KConfigSkeleton, and probably kdeplatformtheme)

This simplifies building a decoration plugin. Now one can do:
find_package(KDecorations REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
to find the decorations library.

This provides a new protocol intended to be used by auto-hiding panels
to make use of the centralized screen edges. To use it a Client can
set an X11 property of type _KDE_NET_WM_SCREEN_EDGE_SHOW to KWin.
As value it takes:
* 0: top edge
* 1: right edge
* 2: bottom edge
* 3: left edge
KWin will hide the Client (hide because unmap or minimize would break
it) and create an Edge. If that Edge gets triggered the Client is shown
again and the property gets deleted. If the Client doesn't border the
specified screen edge the Client gets shown immediately so that we
never end in a situation that we cannot unhide the auto-hidden panel
again. The exact process is described in the documentation of
ScreenEdges. The Client can request to be shown again by deleting the
property.
If KWin gets restarted the state is read from the property and it is
tried to create the edge as described.
As this is a KWin specific extension we need to discuss what it means
for Clients using this feature with other WMs: it does nothing. As
the Client gets hidden by KWin and not by the Client, it just doesn't
get hidden if the WM doesn't provide the feature. In case of an
auto-hiding panel this seems like a good solution given that we don't
want to hide it if we cannot unhide it. Of course there's the option
for the Client to provide that feature itself and if that's wanted we
would need to announce the feature in the _NET_SUPPORTED atom. At the
moment that doesn't sound like being needed as Plasma doesn't want to
provide an own implementation.
The implementation comes with a small test application showing how
the feature is intended to be used.

This seems like a more proper fix for the flickering issue in the
sliding popups effect. The problem is that slidingpopups grabs the
window in windowClosed, the fade effect checks it there, which makes
it racy.
In my tests, I've not seen this problem with the WindowAddedGrab, but
as far as I understand, the problem may well be present there as well.
(And my proposed trick doesn't work.) I've not seen this happening in my
debugging, however. The problem there is also less visible since the
transparency curves go into the same direction, and are more "in line
with each other".
So, fix: Move the setData(WindowClosedGrabRole, ...) call from
windowClosed into windowAdded, which makes sure it's set whenever the
window goes away.

BUG:329991
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.
REVIEW:115902
Without setting the property, Plasma's panel and dialogs lose the
backgroundcontrast effect during slides, which makes them flicker.
As the panel is shown on screen all the time, this is quite a visible
bug. To fix this, when the slide effect is started, we check for window
types and properties of each window, and force the blur flag on if it's
unset.
If the background contrast flag is set to false, we leave the window
alone assuming that there's a reason to force it off. Windows that
are newly added during the slide get the same treatment, so something
popping up while sliding (such as the desktop switch OSD) also gets
the background effect applied.When the effect stops or is interupted, we
unset what we've set, and clean up our internal bookkeeping.
Thanks Martin and Thomas for the thorough review!

Just using KWindowInfo ctor. In one case in appmenu two usages of
KWindowInfo are merged into one KWindowInfo. And in KWindowList a
usage of adding the KWindowInfos into a list got removed.
