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.

Summary:
Let VirtualOutput be a child class of the new generic class Output.
This allows code sharing and a very similar behavior of the Virtual backend
in comparision to the Drm backend.
Test Plan:
Autotests succesful with two exceptions: The decoration input test fails on
testDoubleTap, row topLeft. This is to be expected because now the
ScreenEdgeInputFilter captures the event at position (0,0) before the
DecorationEventFilter can capture it. The autotest was adapted to take this
special case into account.
Also the lockscreen test fails, because the virtual output is currently missing
the physical size yet.

Summary:
This matches the DRM backend more closely and allows mid-test removal and
addition of virtual outputs with different properties in the future.
Test Plan: Before and after 93% tests passed.

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:
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/
