This includes the delegates, the layout configuration for the delegates
and the custom view for the TabBox.
This can now finally be done as desktop tabbox is based on QML, too.
DBus method to embedd the TabBox into another window. It follows
the geometry changes and keeps a defined offset to the borders of
the parent window.
Required for Plasma Active's window strip.
Therefore TabBox is changed to be controlled without pressing a
modifier key. Tab and Backtab are valid keys now which can be
used to navigate in the list and return, enter and space can be
used to close the box (and select the client).
The TabBox is exported as object /TabBox on the kwin interface
providing start and close methods and signal when the TabBox got
closed.
All the default layouts (informative, compact, text, small and big icons)
are rewritten in QML and replace the ListView used before. The old code
is still around for the desktop switching modes which are not yet ported.
Next steps include to update the configuration module to not show now
obsoleted settings as well as providing a better way to choose the layout.

When effects are active we never need the "classic" TabBoxView.
Nevertheless it was always created when KWin started up. By
delaying the creation some ressources should be saved if the user
only uses effects.

This should improve the KWin startup time as some IO is moved
into another thread. Till the config is loaded the TabBox blocks
all signals to activate the TabBox, but it is unlikely that alt+tab
is tried to be used before KWin is completely started.
This change unduplicates some code and merges it into one class
allowing us to use an replacement effect for the outline in
future.
