Summary:
KWindowSystem provides a plugin interface to have platform specific
implementations. So far KWin relied on the implementation in
KWayland-integration repository.
This is something I find unsuited, for the following reasons:
* any test in KWin for functionality set through the plugin would fail
* it's not clear what's going on where
* in worst case some code could deadlock
* KWin shouldn't use KWindowSystem and only a small subset is allowed
to be used
The last point needs some further explanation. KWin internally does not
and cannot use KWindowSystem. KWindowSystem (especially KWindowInfo) is
exposing information which KWin sets. It's more than weird if KWin asks
KWindowSystem for the state of a window it set itself. On X11 it's just
slow, on Wayland it can result in roundtrips to KWin itself which is
dangerous.
But due to using Plasma components we have a few areas where we use
KWindowSystem. E.g. a Plasma::Dialog sets a window type, the slide in
direction, blur and background contrast. This we want to support and
need to support. Other API elements we do not want, like for examples
the available windows. KWin internal windows either have direct access
to KWin or a scripting interface exposed providing (limited) access -
there is just no need to have this in KWindowSystem.
To make it more clear what KWin supports as API of KWindowSystem for
internal windows this change implements a stripped down version of the
kwayland-integration plugin. The main difference is that it does not use
KWayland at all, but a QWindow internal side channel.
To support this EffectWindow provides an accessor for internalWindow and
the three already mentioned effects are adjusted to read from the
internal QWindow and it's dynamic properties.
This change is a first step for a further refactoring. I plan to split
the internal window out of ShellClient into a dedicated class. I think
there are nowadays too many special cases. If it moves out there is the
question whether we really want to use Wayland for the internal windows
or whether this is just historic ballast (after all we used to use
qwayland for that in the beginning).
As the change could introduce regressions I'm targetting 5.16.
Test Plan:
new test case for window type, manual testing using Alt+Tab
for the effects integration. Sliding popups, blur and contrast worked fine.

Summary:
7834bec52a missed to port minimize and
unminimize to dynamic dispatch. In addition to that, we don't benefit
from QMetaObject::invokeMethod so port addRepaint and addLayerRepaint
to dynamic dispatch as well.

Summary:
EffectWindow proxies its properties from the client/deleted's
properties.
QObject::property(char*) is a slow string search. It's a loop
of string comparisons not a hash lookup!
QML's use of properties is different, there's a property cache.
It's fetched multiple times for every window in every paint of some
effects (such as blur). Hotspot shows this as a significant amount of
the render pass (X11) with nothing in kwin animating.
This patch replaces the macro that does
parent()->property("propertyName")
with a macro calling the relevant function directly without metaobjects.
This also improves type safety for future changes.
Test Plan:
Existing unit tests
Ran it for a bit

Summary:
implement virtual desktop support for Wayland.
use the new virtual desktop protocol from D12820
The VirtualDesktopManager class needed some big change in order
to accomodate it, which is where most changes are.
Other than that, it's mostly connections to wire up
VirtualDesktopsManager and VirtualDesktopsManagement(the wayland protocol impl)
Depends on D12820
Other notable detail, is the client visibility updated to reflect the presence
of the client in the plasmavirtualdesktop.
(and the unSetDesktop concept)
Test Plan: used a bit a plasma session together with D12820, D13748 and D13746
