Summary:
The new logout design doesn't want to have the vignetting. Thus the
logout effect itself doesn't make any sense any more. All that would
still be used is the logout blur which can also be provided by the
blur effect nowadays for fullscreen windows. As the new logout is a
fullscreen window it should use that one.
The logout effect did one more thing: it kept the vignetting and the
blur once the user selected logout. Now without the vignetting this
would be weird and again doesn't make much sense any more.
So overall I think it's better to just drop the logout effect and use
blur effect in normal way. Neat side advantage: it will also work on
Wayland out-of-the-box.

Summary:
The new effect is based on the mouse click effect and uses the same
rendering code (this could be improved by merging them better).
Unlike mouse click there is no keyboard shortcut needed to activate:
as soon as the effect is loaded all touch points are visualized.
The visualization creates an animated circle for each touch down
position, motion and up position. The ids are tracked and each touch
id gets the same color. The first ten different touch ids get a
different color. As touch ids are stable the first finger will always
have the same color.

Summary:
A new method to tell the effects system whether the compositor scene
is able to drive animations. E.g. on software emulation (llvmpipe) it's
better to not do any animations at all.
This information can be used by effects to adjust their behavior, e.g.
PresentWindows could skip transitions or effects can use it in their
supported check to completely disable themselves.
As a first step all scripted effects are considered to be unsupported
if animations are not supported. They inherit AnimationEffect and are
all about driving animations.
The information whether animations are supported comes from the Scene.
It's implemented in the following way:
* XRender: animations are always supported
* QPainter: animations are never supported
* OpenGL: animations are supported, except for software emulation
In addition - for easier testing - there is a new env variable
KWIN_EFFECTS_FORCE_ANIMATIONS to overwrite the selection.

KWin::connection() uses the property to resolve the value instead of
using QX11Info. In practice this doesn't change anything at the moment,
but allows kwin_wayland to provide an xcb connection without depending
on QX11Info.
As we cannot make xcb_connection_t* available as a metatype, the
property's type is set to void*.
This removes all the hacks to add kwin4_effect_ to the name of the Effect
and adjusts the desktop files of the effect configuration's parent
component.
Note: the scripted effects still start with kwin4_effect_ prefix.

This implementation of the AbstractEffectLoader is able to to load the
scripted KWin Effects. It uses KServiceTypeTrader to find all the
candidates to load.
Effect loading gets split by the kind of effects KWin supports:
* Built-In Effects
* Scripted Effects
* Binary Plugin Effects
For this a new AbstractEffectLoader is added which will have several
sub-classes:
* BuiltInEffectLoader
* ScriptedEffectLoader
* PluginEffectLoader
* EffectLoader
The EffectLoader will be what the EffectsHandlerImpl is using and it just
delegates to the three other types of loaders. Thus the handler doesn't
need to care about the different kinds of effects. The loading is
supposed to be completely async and the EffectLoader emits a signal
whenever an Effect got loaded. The EffectsHandlerImpl is supposed to
connect to this signal and insert it into its own Effect management.
Unloading is not performed by the loader, but by the EffectsHandler.
There is one important change which needs to be implemented: the ordering
cannot be provided by the loader and thus needs to be added to the
Effects directly.
So far only the BuiltInEffectsLoader is implemented. It's not yet
integrated into the EffectsHandlerImpl, but a unit test is added which
tries to perform the various operations provided by the loader and the
BuiltInEffects. The test should cover all cases except the Check Default
functionality which is only used by Blur and Contrast effects. This
cannot be mocked yet as the GLPlatform doesn't allow mocking yet.
