* A KDecoration needs to include json metadata
* A KDecoration needs to be installed to kwin/kdecorations
* Aurorae and Oxygen adjusted
* kcmdeco locates all decorations through the KPluginTrader
* libkdecoration uses KPluginTrader to find the plugin
* config plugins also need to include json metadata with
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name being the same as the decoration
* config plugins need to get installed to kwin/kdecorations/config
* kcmdeco locates the config plugin for a deco through the name
and KPluginTrader

The connect is from the KDecorationOptions which lives longer than the
factory, thus the lambda might be invoked after the Factory got
destroyed. Adding the context object protects against that.
This simplifies the plugin loading. Decorations just have to use
K_PLUGIN_FACTORY to specify how the KDecorationFactory needs to be
created. The KWIN_DECORATION macro is adjusted to generate the
boiler plate code, but it now needs to specify the name for the
pluginfactory and the KDecorationFactory.
This also transits the decoration abi version check to use
K_EXPORT_PLUGIN_VERSION which also simplifies the loading.
As a result the complete canLoad handling in DecorationPlugins is
removed.

strace -e open kate |& grep -v NOENT | grep oxygenrc | wc -l
went from 8 to 4
(and when looking for kdeglobals, from 13 to 11)
There's still a lot of work to be done in that area...
(within KConfigSkeleton, and probably kdeplatformtheme)

- move Shadow configuration UI to libs
- removed useDropShadow and useOxygenShadow options, and replaced by activeShadow::enable and inactiveShadow::enable
- use kcfg for decoration configuration. The handling of exceptions requires dedicated readConfig and writeConfig methods, implemented in oxygenutils
- changed sizegrip combobox into a check box and rephrased for clarification
A decoration can provide the AbilityAnnounceAlphaChannel in addition to
AbilityUsesAlphaChannel. If this ability is provided the decoration can
enable/disable the use of the alpha channel through setAlphaEnabled().
The base idea behind this mechanism is to be able to tell the compositor
that currently alpha is not needed. An example is the maximized state in
which the decoration is fully opaque so that there is no need to use the
translucency code path which would render all windows behind the deco.
In addition also the blur effect honors this setting so that behind a
known opaque decoration no blurring is performed.
Oxygen is adjusted to disable translucency in maximized state and Aurorae
is adjusted to allow themes to enable/disable translucency. For Plastik
translucency and with that also blurring is disabled.

- never draw separator
- draw separator when window is active
- always draw separator.
This is usefull for e.g. firefox, when a flat background is used, in which case one might
want the separator to always be enabled.
