Summary:
The NVIDIA implementation of glXSwapBuffers will, by default, queue up
to two frames for presentation before blocking. KWin's compositor,
however, assumes that calls to glXSwapBuffers will always block until
the next vblank when rendering double buffered. This assumption isn't
valid, as glXSwapBuffers is specified as being an implicit glFlush,
not an implicit glFinish, and so it isn't required to block. When this
assumption is violated, KWin's frame timing logic will
break. Specifically, there will be extraneous calls to
setCompositeTimer with a waitTime of 0 after the non-blocking buffer
swaps, dramatically reducing desktop responsiveness. To remedy this,
a call to glXWaitGL was added by Thomas Luebking after glXSwapBuffers
in 2015 (see bug 346275, commit
8bea96d701). That glXWaitGL call is
equivalent to a glFinish call in direct rendering, so it was a good
way to make glXSwapBuffers behave as though it implied a glFinish
call.
However, the NVIDIA driver will by default do a busy wait in glFinish,
for reduced latency. Therefore that change dramatically increased CPU
usage. GL_YIELD can be set to USLEEP (case insensitive) to change
the behavior and use usleep instead. When using the NVIDIA driver,
KWin will disable vsync entirely if GL_YIELD isn't set to USLEEP
(case sensitive, a bug in KWin).
However, the NVIDIA driver supports another environment variable,
__GL_MaxFramesAllowed, which can be used to control how many frames
may be queued by glXSwapBuffers. If this is set to 1 the function
will always block until retrace, in line with KWin's expectations.
This allows the now-unnecessary call to glXWaitGL to be removed along
with the logic to conditionally disable vsync, providing a better
experience on NVIDIA hardware.

At the moment it's broken for many of the laptops I've seen, this opens the possibility to start toying with them. The right fix would be to get the kernel to emit the right signals but I'm afraid for some hardware it will be close to impossible.
This includes a kconfig variable variable that will detect it as follows: if there's a touchscreen, when the touchpad gets removed we are on tablet mode (i.e. the pointing will be done using the finger), when it's connected back tablet mode will be restored.

Summary:
This patch rewrites large parts of the Wayland platform plugin, in order to
facilitate the testing of multi output behavior in nested KWin sessions.
For that a new class WaylandOutput is introduced, which is based on
AbstractOutput and by that shares functionality with our virtual and DRM
platform plugins.
The EGL/GBM and QPainter backends have been remodelled after the DRM one,
sharing similiarities there as well now.
Pointer grabbing has been rewritten to support multiple outputs, now using
pointer locking instead of confining and drawing in this case onto a sub-
surface, which get dynamically recreated in between the different output
surfaces while the cursor is being moved.
Window resizing is possible if host supports xdg-shell, but currently the
mode size does not yet fill the new window size.
The number of outputs can be set by command line argument `--output-count`,
scaling is also supported by setting the argument `--scale`.
Further steps could be:
* Enabling automatic fill of resized windows via Wayland mode change
* Multiple diverging initial sizes and scale factors for mulitple outputs
**Watch it in action:** https://youtu.be/FYItn1jvkbI
Test Plan: Tested it in live session.

alternative approach: try to resize the winidow to make room for the keyboard.
the new input wayland protocol doesn't have anymore the overlap rectangle (and it would not be going to work with qwidget apps anyways)
in the future will probably be needed anextension to the input protocol v3 which partially gets back this, tough window resizing is needed regardless
what's missing: the resize should be "temporary" and the window should be restored to its previous geometry when the keyboard closes
Test Plan: tested with test QML code

Summary:
If hardware cursor support is not available when using the drm backend for
Wayland compositing, the software cursor texture will not be updated when the
cursor image changes, and it will still be drawn when no cursor image is set
(such as when running a full-screen game). Furthermore, the drmModeSetCursor
and drmModeMoveCursor functions will still be unnecessarily called when the
cursor is moved or hidden.
To correct this, SceneOpenGL should connect Platform::cursorChanged as opposed
to Cursor::cursorChanged to its texture update function, as only the former
will be emitted when the cursor is updated and the compositor should check if
the cursor is hidden and the software cursor image is not null before rendering
it. DrmBackend::moveCursor and DrmBackend::hideCursor should also return
immediately if using a software cursor.

{F6584642}
but time has passed and now those two have their own kcms. This causes
some issues:
* for newcomers it's harder to find code of the Desktop Effects KCM;
* git history doesn't look good, e.g. "[kcmkwin/compositing] Add some
bugs to Desktop Effects KCM to fix later";
* in general, the mix of two doesn't look good in the code.
This change splits out the Desktop Effects KCM. Unfortunately, in order
to have more nicer code I had to refactor EffectModel a little bit.

Summary:
VirtualDesktopManager is initialized in two places: Workspace::init and
Workspace::initWithX11. The former method loads virtual desktops from
the config file and the latter method synchronizes VirtualDesktopManager
with RootInfo.
Both methods do
if (!VirtualDesktopManager::self()->setCurrent(m_initialDesktop))
VirtualDesktopManager::self()->setCurrent(1);
which makes sense in Workspace::init, but not in Workspace::initWithX11.
When Workspace::initWithX11 is called, the current virtual desktop is
the same as m_initialDesktop. So that piece of code basically makes
the first virtual desktop current no matter what.

EffectsHandlerImpl has platform-specific hooks to ungrab keyboard and
also stop mouse interception. Given that any call made to a virtual function
in the destructor of a base class(EffectsHandlerImpl) won't go to a derived
class(EffectsHandlerImplX11), keyboard won't be ungrabbed even if effect
that grabbed it is already gone.
