Summary:
To homogenize our backends and as another step to remove the Screens class
use the AbstractOutput class in the framebuffer backend.
Test Plan: Manually on VT enforcing the framebuffer backend.

Summary: TTYs are only available for seat0, so when starting a framebuffer kwin on seat1, it never draws, because drawing is always suspended, because it is being treated as not active
Test Plan: The framebuffer backend draws on seat1, and /dev/fb1 and when I switch back to my Weston greeter, (when it's also using the frame buffer,) it doesn't try to draw on top of it.

Summary:
If the format of the framebuffer is BGR we cannot create an RGB image
format from it - the rendering is incorrect. Unfortunately QImage does
not support a BGR image format.
To solve this problem we still use an RGB image format but on rendering
the front buffer is rgbSwapped to convert the RGB image to a BGR image.

FIXED-IN: 5.7.2

Summary:
No need to delegate the painting of the software cursor into the backend.
The core has enough information to perform the rendering itself.
This change means less code duplication and all platforms which might use
a software cursor in QPainter compositor gain support for it without any
further adjustments.

Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.
So new location is plugins/platforms/
