Second part of cleaning up the lib directory: the effects library
now lives in libkwineffects/ directory.
For existing effects nothing changes as the install path is unchanged.
The change obsoletes the lib/ directory.
As glplatform.h has not yet been exported I dared to export it and
adjust the places where it is used.

Our primary target is Texture From Pixmap and it is supported
by all important drivers nowadays. If a driver is not able to
support TFP using OpenGL at all is probably no good idea and
XRender is more suited.
When rendering opaque (RGB-only) windows the alpha ends up to be 0
with blending disabled. This breaks subsequent rendering steps which
require blenden (e.g. Lanczos). Therefore a uniform is used to ensure
that the alpha channel is set to 1.
The vertex buffer implementation uses the shader manager to decide
whether core painting should be used or not. Shader manager is only
used by shaders using vertex attributes instead of gl_Vertex etc.
A color can be specified to render the geometry of the VBO.
For legacy painting glColor is used, for shader a uniform is set.
In order to allow rendering without texcoords, it is possible to pass
a null pointer as texcoords.
Shader added to scene which just renders a colored geometry without texturing.
Adds a shader to render an untransformed scene. renderGLGeometry is not used any more and replaced by generated triangles stored in a GLVertexBuffer.
The GLVertexBuffer has a new attribute to decide whether a core profile compatible rendering has to be performed.
Currently windows and EffectFrames can make use of the new shader.
The shader contains a debug mode which colours all rendered fragments in green. It is currently enabled in scene_opengl.
Rendering transformed geometries (without shader) is currently broken.
differecens to patch atteched to 258971:
- removed debug statements
- fixed indention...
- NON vsync strategy does not rely on the estimation, but on the time passed since the last repaint trigger, allowing a precise framerate

this should improve v'syncing, maybe v'synced "smoothness"
remaining and exposed issue are "dirty textures" w/o damage events (see the requst description)
can be diminished by increasing MaxFPS above the fastest update (or shadowed below the slowest one)

The GLX implementation in the X server appears to have a hardcoded limit
to how many pixmaps can be bound to textures simultaneously when using
indirect rendering, which we can end up exceeding with the changes
introduced in r1182198.

This worksaround a problem with the nouveau driver causing
the text frames to be incorrectly rendered. We need to keep
the QPixmap around as long as we have a texture created from
that texture.
This applies for the text and the unstyled effect frame. For
the frames generated from Plasma's FrameSvgs it is not required.

Prefer the GL_TEXTURE_2D target if the framebuffer configuration indicates
that it's supported.
This fixes a performance problem with the r600g driver.

We don't need to do this every time we bind the texture to a GL context,
even with strict binding.

For Software Rasterizer we never ever want to have OpenGL compositing.
No matter how many config options the user sets it has to be disabled.
Though falling back to XRender makes sense in the case of software
rasterization.

This allows an effect to fade between old and new text/icon. As an example it's added to CoverSwitch.
Currently only supported in OpenGL. XRender might be added, but I'm missing an idea for an effect to add it.
Most effects using EffectFrame require OpenGL anyway.

I missed this line in my previous change to disable the fallback which made the fallback happen nevertheless.
