Summary:
The addition of the test infrastructure is motivated by the regressions
caused by adding mode switching and transformation support.
A contributing factor to these regression is the fact that the DRM
platform does not have any tests. It is difficult to test this code as
it needs to work with hardware, thus we cannot use the real DRM library.
Instead we need to use mocking.
This change sets up some first basic tests with the help of a mockDrm
library. In order to better test the code as units the Drm classes are
slightly refactored. Most importantly the dependency to DrmBackend is
removed wherever possible and replaced by a simple int fd which is mostly
the only element used by the classes.
This first test introduces basic testing of a DrmObject. It is intended
to extend this to at least also test DrmPlane as a central piece of our
Drm platform plugin. This will also extend the tests of DrmObject.

Summary:
This change introduces an OrientationSensor class which wraps a
QOrientationSensor. The OrientationSensor is hold by Screens and gets
enabled if Screens knows about an internal (e.g. LVDS) display which
supports rotation. In addition the OrientationSensor holds an KSni to
enable/disable the automatic rotation support.
The drm platform plugin is adjusted to make use of the OrientationSensor.
The API is defined in a way that this can also be implemented on other
platforms supporting rotation. Most important are hwcomposer and X11
standalone. The latter should be straight forward as rotation is provided
through XRandR. The former needs addition for rotation support first.

Summary:
The idea behind getting the supported transformations is to tell KScreen
which transformations are actually supported and thus not even allow the
user select a setting which is not supported.

Summary:
When KWin successfully presents a new mode, it stores the current state
as the last working mode. If a new modeset is requested and the atomic
test fails, all is undone and reverted to this last knowing mode.
Currently included are:
* the mode
* global position
* transformation
This is only done on a modeset not when going to DPMS.
Test Plan:
Selected the not working vertical rotation and nothing bad
happened.

Summary:
A preparation step to support rotation of outputs. The idea is to rotate
using DRM directly and not add it to the compositors. With this change
and a small hack to try it, I was able to rotate the screen.

This patch makes the AMS execution path work with the new DrmCrtc and
DrmBuffer structure and solves major issues about:
* VT switching
* DPMS
* Hot plugging
* Logout
* Memory leaks
Test Plan:
Tested with Gl and QPainter.

This is Milestone 1 of full support of Atomic Mode Setting (AMS) and
Universal Planes in the KWin DRM backend.
With Milestone 1 we can use the primary plane of a DRM output and do an
AMS commit (this means mode setting aswell as page flipping), if the
driver supports it. Until now the functionality is only tested on Intel
graphics. You need the drm-next kernel for most recent DRM kernel
developments. As boot option set "i915.nuclear_pageflip". Additionally
at the moment AMS is still hidden behind the environment variable
KWIN_DRM_AMS. Set it, if you want to try out AMS.
What needs to be done next: Make it possible to transfer EGL buffers
directly to planes and implement logic for deciding about using a plane
or not for a specific buffer.
