Martin Flöser	02a0561016	Add windowsystem plugin for KWin's qpa Summary: KWindowSystem provides a plugin interface to have platform specific implementations. So far KWin relied on the implementation in KWayland-integration repository. This is something I find unsuited, for the following reasons: * any test in KWin for functionality set through the plugin would fail * it's not clear what's going on where * in worst case some code could deadlock * KWin shouldn't use KWindowSystem and only a small subset is allowed to be used The last point needs some further explanation. KWin internally does not and cannot use KWindowSystem. KWindowSystem (especially KWindowInfo) is exposing information which KWin sets. It's more than weird if KWin asks KWindowSystem for the state of a window it set itself. On X11 it's just slow, on Wayland it can result in roundtrips to KWin itself which is dangerous. But due to using Plasma components we have a few areas where we use KWindowSystem. E.g. a Plasma::Dialog sets a window type, the slide in direction, blur and background contrast. This we want to support and need to support. Other API elements we do not want, like for examples the available windows. KWin internal windows either have direct access to KWin or a scripting interface exposed providing (limited) access - there is just no need to have this in KWindowSystem. To make it more clear what KWin supports as API of KWindowSystem for internal windows this change implements a stripped down version of the kwayland-integration plugin. The main difference is that it does not use KWayland at all, but a QWindow internal side channel. To support this EffectWindow provides an accessor for internalWindow and the three already mentioned effects are adjusted to read from the internal QWindow and it's dynamic properties. This change is a first step for a further refactoring. I plan to split the internal window out of ShellClient into a dedicated class. I think there are nowadays too many special cases. If it moves out there is the question whether we really want to use Wayland for the internal windows or whether this is just historic ballast (after all we used to use qwayland for that in the beginning).

Add windowsystem plugin for KWin's qpa

Summary:
KWindowSystem provides a plugin interface to have platform specific
implementations. So far KWin relied on the implementation in
KWayland-integration repository.

This is something I find unsuited, for the following reasons:
 * any test in KWin for functionality set through the plugin would fail
 * it's not clear what's going on where
 * in worst case some code could deadlock
 * KWin shouldn't use KWindowSystem and only a small subset is allowed
to be used

The last point needs some further explanation. KWin internally does not
and cannot use KWindowSystem. KWindowSystem (especially KWindowInfo) is
exposing information which KWin sets. It's more than weird if KWin asks
KWindowSystem for the state of a window it set itself. On X11 it's just
slow, on Wayland it can result in roundtrips to KWin itself which is
dangerous.

But due to using Plasma components we have a few areas where we use
KWindowSystem. E.g. a Plasma::Dialog sets a window type, the slide in
direction, blur and background contrast. This we want to support and
need to support. Other API elements we do not want, like for examples
the available windows. KWin internal windows either have direct access
to KWin or a scripting interface exposed providing (limited) access -
there is just no need to have this in KWindowSystem.

To make it more clear what KWin supports as API of KWindowSystem for
internal windows this change implements a stripped down version of the
kwayland-integration plugin. The main difference is that it does not use
KWayland at all, but a QWindow internal side channel.

To support this EffectWindow provides an accessor for internalWindow and
the three already mentioned effects are adjusted to read from the
internal QWindow and it's dynamic properties.

This change is a first step for a further refactoring. I plan to split
the internal window out of ShellClient into a dedicated class. I think
there are nowadays too many special cases. If it moves out there is the
question whether we really want to use Wayland for the internal windows
or whether this is just historic ballast (after all we used to use
qwayland for that in the beginning).

As the change could introduce regressions I'm targetting 5.16.

Test Plan:
new test case for window type, manual testing using Alt+Tab
for the effects integration. Sliding popups, blur and contrast worked fine.

Add a script to enforce window decorations for GTK windows

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
