Summary:
Currently ksmserver sends DBus calls to klauncher to autostart services.
This patch brings all autostarting into the ksmserver process, putting
all autostart code together, and improving Plasma/Frameworks separation
(change requested by David Faure) with the long term goal of removing
this from klauncher; with a longer term goal of maybe even killing
klauncher.
We don't get two things autostarting as without ksmserver sending the
signals, klauncher does nothing.
Autostart.cpp code is copied verbatim so there's no breakage.
Test Plan: Logged in, got plasma and krunner and so on.

According to Git / SVN history research, it was last used by KDE in
KDE 1. It seems like other toolkits also stopped using it 10-20 years
ago. It should have little to no practical relevance anymore.
I've found some documentation of legacy XSM session management from
1992, and the first copyright year of the XSMP spec (what we're
currently using) is 1993.
Also, XSM was removed from GNOME's gnome-session in 2005, rationale
and short discussion here:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/
2005-July/msg00527.html
with the following objections:
- Firefox doesn't support XSMP (long fixed)
- CDE on Solaris doesn't support XSMP (oh well...)
- Motif applications don't support XSMP
On kde-core-devel and kwin, nobody cared too much.
Consider XSM "accidentally" broken now ;)

There is a utility called xsmproxy which comes from X.org.
It talks legacy XSM to clients and XSMP to an XSMP compliant
session manager and can therefore maybe hopefully make session
management of dinosaur applicatons sort of work.
It seems like that one received its last major modification
in 2003.
There is also some XSM related code in KWin that I will remove next.
Shutdown scripts are done by startkde after ksmserver quits. Which never
happens because we've told systemd to shutdown.
Old systems worked because they used to communicate with the display
manager which then closed us before shutting down, this is no longer the
case.
This moves handling the shutdown scripts into ksmserver (which already
handles startup scripts) and runs them before asking logind to shutdown.

This adds a user switcher borrowing elements from the lock screen and log out dialog.
It will be used instead of KRunner as main UI for switching sessions. The sessions runner
will stay there for the time being.
CHANGLOG: The main user switcher UI has been completely re-designed

On Wayland ksmserver should not be responsible for the lockscreen,
but the compositor takes care of providing the lock screen. To prevent
conflicts KSMServer gets a new command line option to enable it.
The code is slightly changed to not pass a series of boolean flags to
KSMServer, but a flags type.
The startplasma script for Wayland is adjusted to start ksmserver with
the new command line option.
REVIEW: 126022
This switch is rarely used and screenlocker is important part of the
Plasma system. So it makes no sense to have it build-disabled by ifdef
