Summary:
Removes a bunch of boilerplate CMake code and allows kpackage to do
some smart things, e.g. drops our runtime dependency on the
DesktopFileParser and we get to just use json directly.
Test Plan: Ran kwin, now it doesn't use the desktop to json translation path, everything still works.

Summary:
GTK clients check whether _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS is in _NET_SUPPORTED, so we
don't need this script anymore.
Also, because GTK clients don't set shadow extents, this script
is doing nothing.

This is going to be a controversal change. It enforces KWin decorations
on all client side decorated windows from GTK+. Unfortunately we are
caught between a rock and a hard place. Keeping the status quo means
having broken windows and a more or less broken window manager due to
GTK+ including the shadow in the windows. This is no solution.
Enforcing server side decorations visually breaks the windows. This is
also no solution. So why do it?
It's our task to provide the best possible user experience and KWin is
a window manager which has always done great efforts to fix misbehaving
windows. One can think of the focus stealing prevention, the window rules
and lately the scripts. The best possible window management experience is
our aim. This means we cannot leave the users with the broken windows
from GTK.
The issues we noticed were reported to GTK+ about 2 months ago and we are
working on improving the situation. Unfortunately several issues are not
yet addressed and others will only be addressed in the next GTK+ release.
We are working on improving the NETWM spec (see [1]) to ensure that the
client side decorated windows are not in a broken state. This means the
enforcment is a temporary solution and will be re-evaluated with the next
GTK release. I would prefer to not have to do such a change, if some of
the bugs were fixed or GTK+ would not use client-side-decos on wms not
yet supporting those all of this would be a no issue.
For a complete list of the problems caused by GTK's decos see bug [2] and
the linked bug reports from there.
The change is done in a least inversive way in KWin. We just check for
the property _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS and create a Q_PROPERTY in Client for it.
If we add support for the frame extents in future we would also need
this. So it's not a change just for enforcing the decoration.
The actual enforcing is done through a KWin script so users can still
disable it.

A CMake variable is used to specify the name of the binary.
By default this is "kwin" but building for PA changes the
name to "kwinactive". The variable adjusts all names, e.g.
kwinnvidiahack becomes kwinactivenvidiahack.
The remaining usage of kwinrc in core and libs is replaced
by a cmakedefine for the configuration name and all data
installations are moved to the defined name. Dynamic loading
for scripts & co is adjusted for loading based on defined name.
This change allows the side-by-side installation of both kwin
for desktop and kwin for Plasma Desktop without the known
issues like conflicts in config files or missing build options
if kwin desktop is used for Plasma Active.
Likewise the KCMs are not adjusted as they are not intended to
be used for kwinactive.

FIXED-IN: 4.9.0
CCMAIL: active@kde.org
This QML based version of the desktop change OSD is intended to
replace the C++ version of it.
It currently supports all of the features except adjusting to config
options, which is not yet available at all to scripts.
This script allows to have video fullscreen windows span all attached
screens creating a video wall.
This replaces the removed functionality that you could disable
xinerama support inside KWin for fullscreen windows.
