fc0272f3c4 [wayland] Add a --list-backends command line arg for listing available backends
Distributions do package each backend plugin in a dedicated package,
which means just because KWin got compiled with a specific backend,
doesn't mean it is also available at runtime.

In order to better support this reality this change introduces a
list-backends command line option. Each of the plugins got the json
metadata extended by the KPlugin syntax, so that we have a name and
description to print.

As we already locate all plugins anyway, the additional findPlugins for
the selected backend is changed to search the list of all plugin meta
data.

2220ae44c4 Create a plugin for each of the wayland backends
Each of the backends becomes a plugin. This allows kwin_wayland to load
the requested plugin and kwin itself doesn't need to link all the
libraries needed. E.g. libdrm is no longer linked if running kwin_x11.
Also this allows to create backends for the non-standard EGL platforms
(examples could be raspberrypi or Android devices).

0782252f72 [wayland] AbstractBackend provides signal screensQueried
With this change all backends need to emit the screensQueried signal
at some point. So far only x11 backend did not provide the signal,
wayland had a comparable delayed init mechanism. Now all backends use
the same mechanism.

c4f8bed815 [wayland] Use a pure virtual AbstractBackend::init method
Two backends already used an init method, let's make that the same
in all backends to be able to have shared startup code.

2afaa60dc5 [wayland] A backend can mark whether it is ready
Replaces the functionality of the WaylandBackend and makes it available
to all backends by providing the functionality directly in
AbstractBackend. By default a backend is not ready and the implementation
must call setReady(true) to indicate that setup has finished
successfully. The compositor won't start till the backend indicates that
it is ready.

72db1e63a3 [wayland] Move backend implementations into a backends/<name> directory
The aim is to be able to create a plugin for each of the backends.
The following directories are created:
* backends/drm
* backends/fbdev
* backends/wayland
* backends/x11
