Summary: Alt + Left Click to move windows has a tendency to conflict with creative workflow apps. While Alt can be changed to Meta in KWin's settings, Alt + Left Click shortcuts often cannot be customized in apps. Rather than making every user who runs into this problem change their settings, we should change our default settings to improve KWin's default usability. The fact that Alt + Left Click to move windows is older does not matter. We are trying to use Meta for global/shell shortcuts anyway.
BUG: 399375
Test Plan: The relevant parts of the relevant tests pass. kwin-testInternalWindow fails, but for unrelated reasons that have something to do with XWayland.
Summary:
e.g. "Vertically maximize" is more natural and expressive than "Maximize (vertical only)"
See D29671#inline-169882.
Test Plan: New strings appear in the KCM

Summary:
Currently, we use icons to display possible maximize button actions. The
problem with those icons is that they are confusing even for me, a person
who knows kwin in and out. The size_all icon implies that if you click the
maximize button, you'll be able to move the window around. Same goes with
the size_ver and size_hor icons, they indicate that user will start
resizing the window in the vertical and horizontal direction, respectively.

Summary:
We build some objects several times which makes it uncomfortable to develop KWin
since every time we modify something a lot of things get rebuilt. This should
help a bit although it doesn't solve all the problems.

Summary:
Right now a few of the window placement modes suffer one or more of the following problems:
- Inconsistency between the text shown in the Window Behavior and Window Rules KCMs
- Title does not indicate what it does
- Awkward wording
- Lack of unity in grammatical mood between the different modes
This patch fixes these issues by improving the strings and standardizing on the descriptive mood:
- Smart -> Minimal Overlapping
- Maximizing -> Maximized
- Cascade -> Cascaded
- Zero-Cornered -> In Top-Left Corner
Strings are also unified between the window behavior and window rules KCMs, and docbooks are adjusted accordingly.

Summary:
Because KWin is a very old project, we use three kinds of null pointer
literals: 0, NULL, and nullptr. Since C++11, it's recommended to use
nullptr keyword.
This change converts all usages of 0 and NULL literal to nullptr. Even
though it breaks git history, we need to do it in order to have consistent
code as well to ease code reviews (it's very tempting for some people to
add unrelated changes to their patches, e.g. converting NULL to nullptr).
Test Plan: Compiles.

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:
This has been commented out since 2014, I doubt it will come back.
This is a big amount of code, maintenance will be easier without it.
