Summary:
xcb_put_image doesn't handle big images well. Contrary to XPutImage, the
caller must manually split the data in such a way that each xcb_put_image
request doesn't exceed the maximum request length. Not doing so will result
in libxcb shutting down the connection.

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:
Current code path was attempting to use both framebuffer blit and
glReadPixels on OpenGL ES, instead change the code to use framebuffer
blit and glGetTexImage on OpenGL and glReadPixels on the OpenGLES as it
doesn't have glGetTexImage available.
Test Plan: tested on Nexus 5X.

Summary:
A second interactive selection mode gets added to select a position on
the screen. This is handled by the same input event filter as for the
window selection. Just that instead of returning a window, it returns a
QPoint.
This allows to pick a point on the screen which we need to screenshot
the screen under the mouse cursor and in future for color picking.
The screenshot effect provides two new dbus methods to (interactively)
select a screen or fullscreen. This allows spectacle to screenshot the
(full) screen with still having the user in control.

Summary:
The idea behind this mode is to support applications like spectacle
(see T4458). The calling application passes a file descriptor (created
through e.g. a pipe) and the screenshot effect writes the captured image
into that fd.
The advantage over the existing variant which writes to a file in the
/tmp directory is that this is peer-to-peer between the requesting
application and KWin. No other application can get to that image.
The change also includes setting SIGPIPE to ignore. It showed that when
the reading side already cancelled the read prior to KWin writing out
the image we get a SIGPIPE which results in application termination,
which is not what we want in case of a Wayland compositor. The sigpipe
can be ignored as Qt (and libpng) handles that error just fine at
runtime.

Summary:
While taking an interactive screenshot we should inform the user about
what's going on, how to take the screenshot and how to cancel it.
For this the effect creates an EffectFrame with the required
information.

Summary:
EffectsHandler gains a new method to startInteractiveWindowSelection
which just delegates to the one in Platform. That way a window can be
selected and returned to an Effect.
The screenshot effect makes use of this new functionality and provides
an interactive window screenshot mode which saves to a temporary file.
Note that this is not yet the variant intended for use in spectacle.

Summary:
Inform the user about the path to where a screenshot got saved through a
notification. This is helpful on the one hand that the user sees that
the screenshot got saved and from a security perspective that the user
is informed when a screenshot is taken through the dbus interface. It
doesn't prevent non-authorized screenshot taking, but at least the user
is informed about it.

Summary:
The screenshot methods to blit the screen so far did not capture the
cursor image. But sometimes it is useful to also capture the cursor
image.
This change extends the exported methods to take an optional bool
argument whether to capture the screen. The default is not changed and
still not captures the cursor.

Summary:
There are several effects (screenshot, zoom) which need access to the
cursor image and cursor hotspot. So far these effects used X11
unconditionally to get the cursor which obviously does not work on
Wayland.
This change adds a new class PlatformCursorImage to kwinglobals which
wraps what a cursor is (image and hotspot) and adds a new virtual method
to Platform to provide such a PlatformCursorImage. By default it's the
cursor image the Platform tracks. On X11/standalone platform this new
virtual method is overriden and provides a PlatformCursorImage from X11
using the code previously used in screenshot effect.
Screenshot effect and zoom are adjusted to use the new API instead of
X11.
Test Plan:
Zoom effect tested on Wayland, now gets the proper cursor icon.
X11 functionality not yet tested.

Summary:
Adjusts the screenshot effect to mutliple output rendering. In that case
the blit from framebuffer can only get one output. Thus the effect needs
to blit every output and combine the rendering result.

Summary:
For windows the screenshot effect already delayed the rendering into the
next cycle. But for the fullscreen variants which save to a file the
Screenshot effect did try to take the shot directly.
This can be problematic as e.g. the OpenGL context might not be bound at
all. Also this makes it impossible to screenshot multiple screens
together in the Wayland case.
This change delays the DBus replies, schedules the geometry and takes
the screenshot in the next rendering pass. It does not fix the
multiscreen wayland problem yet.

For the functions from GL_FOO_robustness we want to resolve it by
ourselves in order to add a custom implementation if it's not available.
Unfortunately once epoxy.h is included this breaks as epoxy defines the
names and so through the preprocessor epoxy always wins.
So we need different names: all functions from robustness get a "kwin"
prefix and the usage is changed everywhere in kwin source code.

All KCMs and KWin core use the BuiltInEffects namespace to find and
interact with the effects. There is no information left in the desktop
file which are of usage. Thus they can be removed.
So far the effects could just use the connection() and rootWindow()
provided by kwinglobals. Thus an internal detail from KWin core is
accessed directly.
To be more consistent with the rest of the API it's wrapped through the
EffectsHandler and with a convenient method in Effect.
The connection() is provided as xcbConnection() to free the very generic
name connection which could create confusion once we provide a wayland
connection to the Effects.
The rootWindow() is provided as x11RootWindow() to indicate that it is
for the X11 world.

This method replaces the X-KDE-ORDERING property in the Effect's desktop
files. This change is a preparation step for integrating the new Effect
Loader which doesn't read the ordering information. Thus it needs to be
provided by the Effect itself so that the EffectsHandler can properly
insert it into the chain.
Also for the built-in Effects on the long run it doesn't make much sense
to install the desktop files. And binary plugin effects will migrate to
json metadata which also doesn't have the KService::Ptr. Thus overall it
simplifies to read this information directly from the Effect.
X-KWin-Internal should be used for effects which are either internal
to KWin and are configured at a different location in KWin. Examples
are:
* CoverSwitch - configured in WindowSwitcher KCM, but not FlipSwitch
as that one has a non WindowSwitcher mode
* window geometry - configured in moving
And it should also be used for helper effects to the overall
kde-workspace module. Examples are:
* Dashboard - required by Plasma
* KScreen - required for KScreen
* Screenshot - required by KSnapshot
Why a new category and not the already existing NoShow property?
The idea is to just filter on the effects in the list. Thus it should
be possible to show them. But NoShow is clearly intended to not be
shown at all.

KWin already has a de facto OpenGL 2 dependency through QML. Combined
with the fact that the OpenGL 1 backend is basically unmaintained and
also unused, it's better to remove it for the new major release.

* Removal of cmake option KWIN_BUILD_OPENGL_1_COMPOSITING
* Removal of KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_1 compile option and all code
ifdef'ed with it (partially removal of if-else constructs)
* Removal of CompositingType::OpenGL1Compositing (flags are kept
as a core flag should get introduced)
* Driver recommendation for OpenGL1Compositing changed to XRender
(should be evaluated whether the drivers can provide GL2)
* Removal of configuration option "GLLegacy"
* Removal of fooMatrix function in kwinglutils
* Removal of ARBBlurShader
* Removal of legacy code path in GLVertexBuffer
* Removal of GLShaderManager::disable
* if-blocks with ShaderManager::instance()->isValid() removed

Rational behind this change is that displayWidth and displayHeight are
X specific API calls in kwinglobals. For the future it's easier to only
rely on functionality which goes through the EffectsHandler API which
allows easier adjustments in KWin core.
displayWidth() and displayHeight() are only used to get the size or the
complete rect of all screens. This is also provided by:
effects->virtualScreenGeometry() or
effects->virtualScreenSize()

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.
