The main advantage of SPDX license identifiers over the traditional
license headers is that it's more difficult to overlook inappropriate
licenses for kwin, for example GPL 3. We also don't have to copy a
lot of boilerplate text.
In order to create this change, I ran licensedigger -r -c from the
toplevel source directory.
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.

Our decoration is deleted using deleteLater() and that might cause access
to the bridge. Given that we also need to deleteLater() the
PreviewBridge.
To do so the PreviewBridge is no longer directly exposed to QML, but
in a wrapper object which holds the bridge as only element.

This brings back the configuration for decoration plugins. As a change
to the old variant the configure button is moved into the list view
together with the preview. It is enabled/disabled depending on data
provided by the DecorationModel. For a plugin the DecorationModel
queries for a boolean "kcmodule" key in the metadata. For a theme it
invokes the slot hasConfiguration with the theme name which returns
whether the theme provides configuration.
The actual opening of the configuration is triggered from the
PreviewBridge, which uses the existing KPluginFactory to load the
KCModule. The decoration plugin must provide the keyword "kcmodule"
for it.
So far Aurorae is adjusted and provides configuration for the Plastik
decoration. The interaction with the configuration module works, but
the configuration itself for Plastik seems to be currently broken.
