The extension handling is removed from kwinglobals and moved into the
xcbutils in KWin core in namespace KWin::Xcb. The motivation for this
change is that the Extensions are only used in KWin core and are marked
as internal. So there is no need to have them in the library.
What remains in Extensions are the non-native pixmaps. This will be
removed once we are on Qt 5 as QPixmap can no longer reference an XPixmap.
The remaining code in kwinglobals also still initialize the XLib versions
of extensions emitting events. It seems like there are no XEvents emitted
if not done so even if the extension is correctly initialized with xcb.
This needs to be removed once the event handling is ported over to xcb.

Two helper classes WindowGeometry and WindowAttributes which can be
used to request the geometry and attributes more easily. This is based on
a templated class, taking cookieType, replyType and function pointers to
the request and reply functions as template parameters.
The ctor performs the async request and the reply is stored in a
QSharedPointer. Whenever the reply is needed it is checked whether it
has already been retrieved and if not will block by calling the reply
method. The class provides operator bool() to check whether the reply
succeeded (pointer is not null) and operator->() to directly access the
reply pointer.
