Summary:
When a plasma session quits, the order of plasmashell and clients quitting is undetermined.
This looks bad as our desktop background disappears quite early. Rather than changing the real order, we can have kwin reference the last pixmap of any desktop and hold on to it.
Lasting till the compositor quits means it stays on the X frontbuffer till X quits and the experience is seamless.
Test Plan: Logged out (with relevant other ksmserver patches)

Summary:
Effects that prefer to manipulate direction of animations sometimes need
to create animations in some particular state so later on they can be
played backward (swapping from and to is not enough and it would be wrong).
The proposed complete function lets such effects to fast-forward animations to
to the target position so they can be played backwards later on.

Summary:
Consider current implementation of the Squash effect: if a window was
minimized, an animation will be started; if the window is unminimized
and the animation is still active (that can happen when user clicks on
app's icon really fast), the animation will be stopped and a new one will
be created. Such behavior can lead to rapid jumps in the observed
"animation".
A better approach would be first try to **reverse** the already active
animation, and if that attempt wasn't successful, start a new animation.
This patch introduces a new function to the scripted effects API that
lets JavaScript effects to control direction of animations. The
prototype of the function looks as follows:
redirect(<animation id(s)>, <direction>, [<termination policy>])
the first argument is an animation id or a list of animation ids, the
second argument specifies the new direction of the animation or
animations if a list of ids was passed as the first argument. The
third argument specifies whether the animation(s) should be terminated
when it(they) reaches the source position, currently it's relevant only
for animations that are created with set() function. The termination
policy argument is optional, by default it's Effect.TerminateAtSource.
We can use this function to fix issues with rapid jumps in the Squash
effect. Also, redirect() lets us to write effects for simple animations
in slightly different style: first, we have to start the main animation
(e.g. for the Dialog Parent effect, it would be dimming of main windows)
and then change direction of the animation depending on external events,
e.g. when the Desktop Cube effect is activated.

Summary:
Some JavaScript based effects need to grab particular windows in order
to avoid conflicts with other effects.
Example usage:
```lang=js
effects.windowAdded.connect(function (window) {
if (effect.grab(window, Effect.WindowAddedGrabRole)) {
window.coolWindowTypeAnimation = animate({
...
});
}
});

Summary:
If a modal window is closed and some alternative effect that animates
the disappearing of windows is enabled(e.g. the Glide effect, or the
Scale effect), the Dialog Parent effect can cause flickering of the
parent window because its animation duration doesn't match duration of
those alternative effects.
Also, if the Fade effect, the Glide effect, and the Scale effect are
disabled, the Dialog Parent will keep the parent window alive for no
good reason.
This change addresses that problem by adding keepAlive property to
`animate` function so scripted effects have more control over lifetime
of animated windows.
If both a modal window and its parent window are closed at the same time
(and there is no effect that animates the disappearing of windows), the
Dialog Parent will stop immediately(because windowDeleted will be
emitted right after windowClosed signal).
If both a modal window and its parent window are closed at the same time
(and there is effect that animates the disappearing of windows), the
Dialog Parent won't reference the latter window. Thus, it won't cause
flickering. I.e. it will "passively" animate parent windows.

Summary:
Getter is exposed as a property on scripted effect in a way that hides
pointers from the scripting side.
Setter is implicitly handled as a property of newly created animations
and holds the activeFullScreenEffect whilst any of them are active. Like
existing effects it remains up to the effect author to avoid the
problems of multiple full screen effects. The RAII lock pattern is
somewhat overkill currently, but it's the direction I hope we can take
EffectsHandler in next API break.

As far as I can tell this has been broken for 6 years.
The global animate method that unboxes a QJSValue as an object is

No shipped kwin effect actually used it.
To some extent we didn't even actually want to enforce the enum as we

By changing the loading of scripted effect config to interact with
kwinApp we broke the tests which do not use a kwinApp.
This change turns the access to the KSharedConfigPtr go through the
property system, so that the tests can also install a dummy
KSharedConfigPtr. With that scripted effects loader test passes and no
longer crashes and the integration/effects tests also still pass.
Summary:
So far ScriptedEffect used EffectsHandler::effectConfig to get the
KConfigGroup for the ScriptedEffect. This has the disadvantage that the
config file name is hardcoded to kwinrc in EffectsHandler::effectConfig.
Inside KWin a KSharedConfigPtr is used which can point to somwhere else
than kwinrc. If that was the case the ScriptedEffects were not able to
pick up this customized config and instead continued to read values from
kwinrc.
With this change the ScriptedEffects use the KSharedConfigPtr provided
by KWin. Thus in e.g. autotests we can use the general way to configure
the effects and don't need to write to the config.

Summary:
A new method to tell the effects system whether the compositor scene
is able to drive animations. E.g. on software emulation (llvmpipe) it's
better to not do any animations at all.
This information can be used by effects to adjust their behavior, e.g.
PresentWindows could skip transitions or effects can use it in their
supported check to completely disable themselves.
As a first step all scripted effects are considered to be unsupported
if animations are not supported. They inherit AnimationEffect and are
all about driving animations.
The information whether animations are supported comes from the Scene.
It's implemented in the following way:
* XRender: animations are always supported
* QPainter: animations are never supported
* OpenGL: animations are supported, except for software emulation
In addition - for easier testing - there is a new env variable
KWIN_EFFECTS_FORCE_ANIMATIONS to overwrite the selection.

The build option got introduced for Plasma Active back in a time
when we did not properly aim for convergence. In a Plasma 5 world
we want to have only one shell and one window manager which adjust
itself. This means we don't want a differently compiled kwin for
plasma active, but the same one. Thus the build option doesn't
make much sense any more. A KWin for touch interface needs to support
screenedges for the case that mouse is plugged in.

This method replaces the X-KDE-ORDERING property in the Effect's desktop
files. This change is a preparation step for integrating the new Effect
Loader which doesn't read the ordering information. Thus it needs to be
provided by the Effect itself so that the EffectsHandler can properly
insert it into the chain.
Also for the built-in Effects on the long run it doesn't make much sense
to install the desktop files. And binary plugin effects will migrate to
json metadata which also doesn't have the KService::Ptr. Thus overall it
simplifies to read this information directly from the Effect.
This implementation of the AbstractEffectLoader is able to to load the
scripted KWin Effects. It uses KServiceTypeTrader to find all the
candidates to load.
Most is just switched to the ::read(). That should be enough for all the
Effects which have a KSharedConfig::Ptr underneath. If not we just need
to find a good place to put the reload.
Rational behind this change is that displayWidth and displayHeight are
X specific API calls in kwinglobals. For the future it's easier to only
rely on functionality which goes through the EffectsHandler API which
allows easier adjustments in KWin core.
displayWidth() and displayHeight() are only used to get the size or the
complete rect of all screens. This is also provided by:
effects->virtualScreenGeometry() or
effects->virtualScreenSize()

The main difference is that the activation of an edge is no longer
broadcasted to all effects and scripts, but instead a passed in slot of
the Effect/Script is invoked.
For this the EffectsHandler API is changed to take the Effect as an
argument to (un)reserveElectricBorder. As callback slot the existing
borderActivated is used.
In addition the ScreenEdge monitors the object for beeing destroyed and
unregisters the the edge automatically. This removes the need from the
Effect to call unregister in the dtor.

This rewrite is mostly motivated by the need to handle multi screen
setups correctly. That is have edges per screen and not for the combined
geometry. Also porting from XLib to XCB has been a motivation for the
rewrite.
The design of the new ScreenEdge handling is described in the
documentation of ScreenEdges in screenedge.h.
In addition the following changes have been performed:
* move configuration from Options to ScreenEdge
* add screen edge information to Workspace::supportInformation (obviously
replaces what had been read from Options)
* have Workspace hold a pointer to ScreenEdges instead of an object
* forward declaration of ScreenEdges in workspaces.h, this explains the
seemingly unrelated changes of just another include in some files

The current API call to animate a window does not feel very JavaScripty.
Therefore a new method "animate" is added to the global scope, which
takes a JavaScript object of the following structure:
{
window: EffectWindow, /* the window to animate, required */
duration: int, /* duration in msec, required */
curve: QEasingCurve.Type, /* global easing curve, optional */
type: Effect.Attribute, /* for first animation, optional */
from: FPx2, /* for first animation, optional */
to: FPx2, /* for first animation, optional */
delay: int, /* for first animation, optional */
animations: [ /* additional animations, optional */
{
curve: QEasingCurve.Type, /* overrides global */
type: Effect.Attribute,
from: FPx2,
to: FPx2,
delay: int
}
]
}
At least one animation needs to be specified either on the root level
or in the array of animations. Curve is the only property on root level
which is used in the animations, if not provided.
