For Wayland clients we now are able to get shadows.
Internally this reuses large parts of the X11 implementation. This
could be improved to make the Scene's better aware of the Wayland
shadow, so that less memory is needed.
The DecorationShadow on XRender is implemented by creating the
required QPixmaps in ::prepareBackend. That way the rendering
infrastructure can be shared with the window based shadows.
BUG: 342758
REVIEW: 122009
The DecorationShadow supports the concept of sharing shadows between
multiple Decorations and this is supported by our Shadow class. But
still the created GLTextures were not shared.
This change introduces a sharing mechanismn for all GLTextures created
for a DecorationShadow. Thus if two decorations share the same
DecorationShadow they will also share the same GLTexture.
Adjust all components to use the QSharedPointer. Aurorae obviously has
to create a QSharedPointer, Shadow holds a QSharedPointer for the
DecorationShadow (advantage: is kept when the Decoration is destroyed),
and the KCM needs to add a property on PreviewItem to get access to the
Shadow. It's no longer a Q_PROPERTY on Decoration and we cannot re-add
it as a dynamic property (cannot be read from QML side).
Surprisingly the DecorationShadow is modelled after the Shadow in KWin.
It provides the same offsets and a QImage exactly like the OpenGL
implementation needs it. This makes it easy to hook it into our existing
Shadow implementation with only a few changes.
Shadow now first tries to create a Shadow from the Decoration and only
if that fails it tries the X11 property. The pixmaps are not initialized
for the DecorationShadow and because of that currently only the OpenGL
backend gets initialized for DecorationShadows. The other backends might
need adjustments and also a transition to just using one image.
did not publish function & enum in the baseclass, but inlined the accessor

(cherry picked from commit ecfa39ac3ca1c9823a6b320ff0f7a60ab32f0418)
Copies the shadow parts into one image and creates a GLTexture
from the image, so that we can render the complete shadow with
just one texture and one painting pass.
Should remove most of the overhead involved when rendering the new Shadows.
As a side effect this should fix missing shadows with non-NPOT GPUs and
a rendering glitch reported with NVIDIA.

In order to notice when the geometry changes a new signal is
added to toplevel and both Unmanaged and Client connect all their
signals which are emitted whenever the geometry changes in some way
to this new signal.
Shadow connects to the signal and updates the quads and region
whenever the size changes.
The Shadow is clearly an aspect of the compositor. Therefore the
Shadow has to be owned and controlled by the Scene::Window.
Nevertheless Toplevel needs to know about the Shadow cause of reading
the property.
Unmanaged needs to repaint the complete geometry including shadow
when it ends compositing. Therefore we need to track the shadow
passing to deleted correctly. Disadvantage: when turning off
compositing the shadow is kept. Need to solve in a better way!

The current implementation includes a new Shadow class and Toplevel
holds a pointer to an instance of this class. The Shadow class reads
the data from the X11 Property. There is one extended class located
in SceneOpenGL to render the shadow.
Compositor is adjusted to include the shadow region into the painting
passes.
Implementation for XRender still missing and Shadow needs to respond
to size changes of the Toplevel to update cached shadow region and
WindowQuads.
