This option is off by default and has been for several years, after it
was briefly turned on by default and proved to be unpopular with users,
generating many complaints and bug reports. The line uses a semantically
inappropriate highlight color which is far too visually bright, and it
doesn't look good with any of our header-color-using color schemes.
Arguably it never looked good with older color schemes where the titlebar
and window background use different colors either. Let's remove this
option.
BUG: 427422
FIXED-IN: 5.24
Summary:
This implements the menu shadow changes proposed in D9549; now we use a combobox with five options: None, Small, Medium, Large, and Very Large.
Large is the new default value (64px window shadows, 16px menu/tooltip shadows), and implements what we recently changed the default to. Small is the old default value (16px window shadows, 12px menu/tooltip shadows) for people who preferred that.
I had a massive amount of help from @hpereiradacosta; in fact, probably 75% of these changes are his. It's a shame multiple authorship isn't possible. Hugo, feel free to commandeer the revision if you'd like the credit!
Test Plan:
Tested in KDE Neon. New smaller menu shadows for the default window shadow size:
{F5615780}
New shadow chooser UI, with different options:
None (1px border for windows, menus, and tooltips):
{F5623069}
Small (16px window shadows, 12px menu/tooltip shadows); replicates the the old default value:
{F5623071}
Medium (32px window shadows, 14px menu/tooltip shadows):
{F5623072}
Large (64px window shadows, 16px menu/tooltip shadows); the new default:
{F5623073}
Very Large (96px window shadows, 24px menu/tooltip shadows):
{F5623074}
Upgrade story: since this changes the way shadow size is stored in the breezerc file, users who previously had manually set their shadow size to some arbitrary pixel value will now get the new default Large 64 px shadow size.

Summary:
Change "Display window borders for maximized windows" to "Allow resizing maximized windows from window esges"
This makes it obvious what the purpose of the feature is, and why one would want to turn it on.

Summary:
Adds a new settings on Breeze theme which allows the user to turn off the title bar separator drawn
{F5437291}
{F5437290}
Rationale behind this patch:
From what I understand, the separator is seen as a design choice so I won't argue over it, not to mention something like this is entirely subjective.
However, I personally dislike the separator, especially on darker windows. The only way to get rid of it is to either make a custom color scheme for each application so the colors match exactly or run a patched version of breeze (which is what I do). Before using my Breeze patched version I searched on the net on how to remove it, which led me to several threads with other users wanting to toggle it off which is why I make this patch public.
Below are screenshots where the separator is especially noticeable and in my non-design-expert opinion kind of distracting. I think it's a positive addition. Looking forward to your opinions on the matter.

{F5437330}
{F5437329}
Test Plan:
1. Use default breeze theme
2. Check the enable/disable the new setting
