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.

This change is similar to D7232 and moves the scene_qpainter into a
dedicated plugin. Compared to the XRender case it's more complicated as
the platform plugins need to implement a platform specific backend.
The base implementation for this part used to be in scene_qpainter. As
the idea is to completly move it away from KWin core it would be point
less to still have the backend definition in KWin core, but it cannot
be in the scene plugin as otherwise all platforms need to link the
plugin.
To solve this a new platformsupport subdirectory is added which contains
the scene platform backend as a static library. For the OpenGL scene such
a static library will also be required.
Test Plan: SceneQPainter test still passes, nested compositor still works

Summary:
Output scaling can't ever work on a single buffer; especially if they're
different scales and overlapping.
This ports the virtual backend to perScreenRendering so that I can use
it for
tests.
ctest fails here, but it fails on the tests that it failed on before..

Summary:
No need to delegate the painting of the software cursor into the backend.
The core has enough information to perform the rendering itself.
This change means less code duplication and all platforms which might use
a software cursor in QPainter compositor gain support for it without any
further adjustments.

Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
