As all effects have always been compiled into the same .so file it's
questionable whether resolving the effects through a library is useful
at all. By linking against the built-in effects we gain the following
advantages:
* don't have to load/unload the KLibrary
* don't have to resolve the create, supported and enabled functions
* no version check required
* no dependency resolving (effects don't use it)
* remove the KWIN_EFFECT macros from the effects
All the effects are now registered in an effects_builtins file which
maps the name to a factory method and supported or enabled by default
methods.
During loading the effects we first check whether there is a built-in
effect by the given name and make a shortcut to create it through that.
If that's not possible the normal plugin loading is used.
Completely unscientific testing [1] showed an improvement of almost 10
msec during loading all the effects I use.
[1] QElapsedTimer around the loading code, start kwin five times, take
average.

* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
This property can be used to check whether a window is currently visible
to the user, that is:
* not minimized
* on the current desktop
* on current activity
This is a common need for various effects.

Each effect is able to declare itself as currently being active,
that is transforming windows or painting or screen or doing anything
during the current rendered frame.
This change eliminates the hottest path inside KWin identified by
callgrind.

Client and Unmanaged use a signal to notify that they are about to be closed.
The EffectsHandlerImpl is connected to those signals and emits the appropriate
windowClosed signal to which the effects are connected.
Since the EffectFrames have been moved into KWin core nothing in the
Effects lib actually used Plasma. The only remaining method is moved
to core as it's not used in the Effects. The Effects itself still
link against Plasma, so nothing changes for them.
The Plasma includes in the kwineffects header seemed to pull in
quite some additional headers, so the includes in some effects have
to be adjusted (most often KConfigGroup). This should speed up the
compilation of the library and the effects.
its own directory, cleaned up the effect config macros and renamed
"MakeTransparent" to "Translucency" so that it matches its visible name.

of Effect::animationTime() for how-to-use.
TODO: Effects need to reload config after doing the change in the kcm.
NOTE: Default TimeLine constructor now creates invalid object, it is
necessary to explicitly call setDuration() in order to ensure all
animations respect this setting.

The window type doesn't seem to be accurate, i.e.
pretty much all windows are normal and special.
kickoff for example isn't a PopupMenu or something
that enables us to not animate it.
Well, at least this way tooltips and applicationmenues
do not explode anymore.

means any GPL). Decoration clients will come later.

to change even the ones interfacing with OpenGL which I've left for now.

for use in effects (and not only). Now a list of window quads (=window areas)
is created at the beginning of the paint pass, prepaint calls can modify
the split itself (i.e. divide it into more parts). The actual paint calls
can then modify these quads (i.e. transform their geometry). This will allow
better control of how the split is done and also allow painting e.g. only
the decoration differently. Still work in progress, but it works.
Also pass data to prepaint functions in a struct, as there is
already quite a number of them.

without kwin4_effect_ prefix, so change the name in those macros to lowercase.
Some modifications to the macros themselves as well.
Effect loading via dcop might work again now.
