Summary:
The test DontCrashUseractionsMenu (Waylandonly) found an issue in our
screen handling implementation in the QPA. The code exposed a short time
frame between the dummy screen getting destroyed and the first screen
being added. This could result in a crash of KWin.
There is actually no need to implement Screen on top of Wayland screen.
KWin has all the knowledge, so we can also base this on top of the
Screens API.
Advantages:
* no delays due to Wayland roundtrips
* handle screen getting removed (was a TODO)
* handle resolution changes (was a TODO)
The new implementation has a disadvantage that it destroys and readds
all screens whenever something around the screen changes. This shouldn't
be an issue in practice as it's only for the internal QPA and thus only
affects KWin internal windows which is placed in global coordinates
anyway. If it turns out to be a problem we need to track better the
screen changes - so far those were not tracked at all.
Test Plan: Run a few unit tests which change screens

Summary:
The idea is to have KWin provide a virtual keyboard. To support this
KWin uses the QT_IM_MODULE qtvirtualkeyboard and makes sure that the
QPA plugin loads it.
KWin has a new class VirtualKeyboard which acts as the focus object and
the "proxy" for input methods. The QPA plugin ensures that this is the
focusObject, so that all input method related events are sent to this
class. From there it will be possible to delegate to other applications
through the Wayland interfaces.

Qt has problems initializing everything correctly if there is no screen
at startup. E.g. the breeze widget style tries to initialize some pixmaps
and this fails. In worst case hitting asserts in Qt (debug build).
This change creates a dummy screen which gets destroyed as soon as there
is a real screen.

This introduces an own QPA plugin for KWin. QtWayland's plugin is not
a good solution for KWin as QtWayland is meant for Wayland clients and
not for a Wayland server. Given that it makes more sense to have a very
minimal QPA plugin which supports the use cases we actually have.
With our own QPA plugin we should be able to improve the following
areas:
* no need to create Wayland server before QApplication
* Qt::BypassWindowManagerHint can be supported
* no workaround for creating OpenGL context in main thread
* sharing OpenGL context with Qt
* OpenGL context for Qt on libhybris backend
The plugin supports so far the following features:
* creating a QPlatformWindow using KWayland::Client (ShellSurface)
* creating a QPlatformBackingStore using a ShmPool
* creating a QPlatformOpenGLContext with Wayland::EGL
* or creating a QPlatformOpenGLContext which shares with KWin's scene
* creating a QPlatformScreen for each KWayland::Client::Output
* QPlatformNativeInterface compatible to QtWayland
