Summary:
It is not clear what the advantage of triple buffering is for KWin. An X11
compositor is meant to swap buffers once every monitor cycle. For that triple
buffering is not necessary.
The functionality is not maintained, does not reliably work as displayed by
the existence of an environment variable to force some behavior, pollutes
our code and every compositing-related problem that might be mitigated with
triple buffering should find a simpler and more fitting solution with other
means.
There is one caveat which is if we shall block for retrace. We set it
currently according to the result of the swap profiler and in the most common
case with double buffering it is set to true. But on Nvidia systems this might
be actual the wrong behavior. Instead of trying to work around this ignore
the issue for now and move the overall architecture to something less complex
by presenting after paint how we do it in the Wayland DRM backend and with
double buffering on GLX (although this is at the moment also borken because
we actually present then twice).
Test Plan: kwin_x11 tested on i915.

Summary:
The EGL platform might go away at any time through reconfiguration or because
of a graphic error. KWin then resets the graphics. The dmabuf implementation
must respect that and recover from a graphics reset by recreating all EGL
images for existing buffer.
This assumes that we won't change our graphics API mid-session and that
supported plane and modifier configuration stays constant.
In practise we remember all current dmabufs in a single map and only remove
them if the client did destroy the resource.

Summary: This adds support for LinuxDmabufUnstableV1Interface in kwin.
Test Plan: Session starts. `weston-simple-dmabuf-egl` and `weston-simple-dmabuf-drm` execute without errors.

Summary: `abstract_egl_backend.cpp` includes several kwayland headers, but the include paths aren't added for kwayland. This patch solves the problem, by adding kwayland as requirement for the opengl scene plugin.

Summary:
Unfortunately a rather large change which required more refactoring than
initially expected. The main problem was that some parts needed to go
into platformsupport so that the platform plugins can link them. Due to
the rather monolithic nature of scene_opengl.h a few changes were
required:
* SceneOpenGL::Texture -> SceneOpenGLTexture
* SceneOpenGL::TexturePrivate -> SceneOpenGLTexturePrivate
* texture based code into dedicated files
* SwapProfiler code into dedicated files
* SwapProfiler only used in x11 variants
* Safety checks for OpenGL scene moved into the new plugin
* signal declared in SceneOpenGL moved to Scene, so that we don't need
to include SceneOpenGL in composite
Test Plan: Nested OpenGL compositor works
