Summary:
So far we were following a bit unique and rare doxygen comment style:
/**
* Contents of the comment.
**/
Doxygen comments with this style look balanced and neat, but many people
that contribute to KWin don't follow this style. Instead, they prefer
more traditional doxygen comment style, i.e.
/**
* Contents of the comment.
*/
Reviewing such changes has been a bit frustrating for me (so selfish!)
and for other contributors.
This change switches doxygen comment style in KWin to a more traditional
style. The main reason for doing this is to make code review process easier
for new contributors as well us.

Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.
Test Plan: Compiles.

Summary:
Represent outputs in the X11 session via AbstractOutput. For that we
move all Wayland specific parts of AbstractOutput into a new subclass
AbstractWaylandOutput and let the outputs of our Wayland backends inherit
from there.
This should allow us to get rid of the Screens class later on.
Test Plan: Manually in X session.

To homogenize our backends and as another step to remove the Screens class
use the AbstractOutput class in the framebuffer backend.

My change in 304528e80b has been reported to
cause issues for PostMarketOS https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/issues/204
I originally submitted the change to activate Framebuffer devices
as secondary framebuffer devices are not on by default, (such as a
secondary DisplayLink device). Changing attributes usually forced
some framebuffer devices to turn on, however I have found a more
accurate way to turn on framebuffer devices, without messing with
the color layout.

Summary:
This brings KWin a step closer to be run from build dir without having
to install at all. The integration tests are adjusted so that the
virtual platform is still found which makes the code be closer to what
is used in normal kwin_wayland.

Summary:
Weston does something similar
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/tree/libweston/compositor-fbdev.c#n315
...and it seems that the non-primary framebuffer devices start completely off. (the screen is off on my Displayport device, and the window for the second vga card in qemu is much smaller than the primary one, and all black for my qemu vm) .
In my testing, sending the ioctl FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO with a *changed* &varinfo allows it to wake up, and turns on the screen.
doing FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO and then FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO in my testing does not work.
I think really the values that end up getting changed are varinfo.transp.offset and varinfo.transp.length. at least on the qemu system, but in this patch I am aligning all of them for completeness, because the drivers might do it differently for qemu
Test Plan: This causes the window for /dev/fb1 (remote-viewer, and a qemu vm with two "VGA" (bochsdrm) cards) to resize from the smaller size when specifying it as the --fb-device on seat0, and kwin draws on the device.

Summary: TTYs are only available for seat0, so when starting a framebuffer kwin on seat1, it never draws, because drawing is always suspended, because it is being treated as not active
Test Plan: The framebuffer backend draws on seat1, and /dev/fb1 and when I switch back to my Weston greeter, (when it's also using the frame buffer,) it doesn't try to draw on top of it.

Summary:
So far KWin does not know which Compositors the platform actually
supports. This results in KWin happily trying to use the OpenGL
compositor on fbdev or the QPainter compositor on hwcomposer although
that is obviously going to fail as the platform doesn't support this.
By adding a pure virtual method all Platforms can define what they
support. In a later step the Compositor can use this to create an
appropriate scene and also perform proper fallback handling in case the
scene creation fails.
Test Plan: Compiles

This change is similar to D7232 and moves the scene_qpainter into a
dedicated plugin. Compared to the XRender case it's more complicated as
the platform plugins need to implement a platform specific backend.
The base implementation for this part used to be in scene_qpainter. As
the idea is to completly move it away from KWin core it would be point
less to still have the backend definition in KWin core, but it cannot
be in the scene plugin as otherwise all platforms need to link the
plugin.
To solve this a new platformsupport subdirectory is added which contains
the scene platform backend as a static library. For the OpenGL scene such
a static library will also be required.
Test Plan: SceneQPainter test still passes, nested compositor still works

Summary:
So far if the framebuffer platform run into an error on initialization
it did not continue and caused the system to freeze. With this change
it properly emits the initFailed signal in all error conditions which
causes kwin_wayland to terminate. This is a much better situation than
just staying in a running, but frozen state.

Summary:
If the format of the framebuffer is BGR we cannot create an RGB image
format from it - the rendering is incorrect. Unfortunately QImage does
not support a BGR image format.
To solve this problem we still use an RGB image format but on rendering
the front buffer is rgbSwapped to convert the RGB image to a BGR image.

Summary:
No need to delegate the painting of the software cursor into the backend.
The core has enough information to perform the rendering itself.
This change means less code duplication and all platforms which might use
a software cursor in QPainter compositor gain support for it without any
further adjustments.

Summary:
Platform::setSoftWareCursor creates connections to the Cursor in order
to trigger repaints whenever the cursor position changes. The Cursor is
created before Platform::init is called, but after the Platform is
created. Thus the call needs to happen in init, otherwise the cursor
is not rendered correctly.

Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
