We have lots of inconsistency at the moment in CMakeLists.txt files. Most
of it is due to kwin being a very old project. This change hopefully fixes
all of it.
Summary: In D9848 the file permissions in effects/blur where accidentally changed from 644 to 755.

Summary:
Updated the old and outdated blur method to use the much more efficient dual kawase blur method.
Now with this we can do virtually infinite blur with very very little performance cost.
The dual kawase blur method is basically downscaling and upscaling an image, but combined with the kawase blur shader.
Comparison: https://i.imgur.com/mh6Cw61.png
Left is old, right is new.
Comparison was done with the strongest blur setting in a VM running on an Intel i7-4790 and a GTX980
We can see here that the performance is even better with this new method.

Summary:
It is known to create problems especially on multi-screen and is not as
important on Wayland as it used to be on X11 thanks to things like
buffer age and in general better rendering.
Test Plan: Opened the config module and verified that the option is
hidden

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.
Instead of using EffectsHandler::sendReloadMessage we generate the dbus
interface in each plugin and call the reconfigure slot directly. That way
it's more type safe and we don't need to link kwineffects from the
configs.

There are no advantages for the effects KCM to have all the effect
config modules in one plugin.
By having a plugin per effect we can use the KPluginTrader to easily
find the configuration plugin for a given effect and load it.
To make this possible the following changes are done:
* config_builtins.cpp is deleted
* add_subdirectory is used for all effects which have a config module
* toplevel CMakeLists.txt contains the sources again for the effects
which have a config module, but effects which don't have a config
module are still included and thus the macro is still used
* plugin created for the config module, name pattern is:
kwin_effectname_config
* plugin installed to ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}/kwin/effects/configs
* desktop file adjusted to new plugin name and keyword removed
* desktop file converted to json as meta data and no longer installed
* Uses K_PLUGIN_FACTORY_WITH_JSON
* Macros for config are dropped from kwineffects.h

its own directory, cleaned up the effect config macros and renamed
"MakeTransparent" to "Translucency" so that it matches its visible name.
