With QtQuick2 KWin is no longer the only one having an OpenGL context
thus we need to ensure that our context is current. If not it results in
highly interesting crashes when our code is executed on the QtQuick
context.
The context is made current before we swap and before we start to render
a frame. During rendering a frame it's not made current again based on
the assumption that while we render there is no interference. If this
assumption doesn't hold, we need a more sophisticated solution at the
moment it seems to fix the crashes.
repaints caused by effects so far polluted the timing calculations
since they started the timer on the old vsync offset
This (together with undercut timing) lead to multiple frames in
the buffer queue, and ultimately to a blocking swap
For unsynced painting, it simply caused wrong timings - leading to
"well, kinda around 60Hz - could be 75 as just well".

that part is fixed in 4.11.2
This flag seems to be ignored by several OpenGL implementations,
so don't set it for now. Mesa may also stop accepting this flag
until forward-compatible contexts are fully supported.
enforce to "e" (cheap) when driver is still unknown after
detection must be assumed to have run, so a sane value is available
when the context is up

* "" needs to be wrapped in QStringLiteral
* QString::fromUtf8 needed for const char* and QByteArray
* QByteArray::constData() needed to get to the const char*
the only thing it does on these systems is cause users
trouble because usually when there's a client where
unredirection makes sense, that uses OpenGL - and then
things break in the driver.

This method returns a matrix that transforms normalized or un-normalized
texture coordinates, taking the texture target and y-inversion flag into
account.
Remove support for OpenGL compositing without using a composite
overlay window. With this change kwin now also requires a
double-buffered framebuffer configuration.
Noticed this one during test compile against Qt5 as QX11Info is no longer
exposing appVisual. Using the visual from root window which works just
fine for this use case.

- turning a repaint to a full one beyond a threshhold
- completing the the backbuffer from the frontbuffer after the paint

In case the extension is not present eglQuerySurface returns EGL_FALSE
when querying for EGL_POST_SUB_BUFFER_SUPPORTED_NV and sets an
EGL_BAD_ATTRIBUTE error state. If this is the case it's not an error we
should abort on, but one we should ignore as it's the same as extension
not supported.

FIXED: 4.10.1
The Egl backend is decoupled from the OpenGL ES build option which makes
it possible to use it as a replacement for glx.
To make this possible a new build flag is added when egl is available at
compile time and any egl specific code is now ifdefed with this flag
instead of the gles flag. In addition at runtime a windowing system enum
value is passed to the various detect methods to have egl/glx specific
detection for e.g. function pointer resolving.
By default egl is used if compiled with OpenGL ES, otherwise glx is used.
But in the non-gles case the windowing system can be selected through the
new environment variable KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE. Setting this variable to
"egl" the EglOnXBackend is used.

The handling for creating and managing the OpenGL context is
split out of the SceneOpenGL into the abstract OpenGLBackend
and it's two subclasses GlxBackend and EglOnXBackend.
The backends take care of creating the OpenGL context on the
windowing system, e.g. on glx an OpenGL context on the overlay
window is created and in the egl case an EGL context is created.
This means that the SceneOpenGL itself does not have to care
about the specific underlying infrastructure.
Furthermore the backend provides the Textures for the specific
texture from pixmap operations. For that in each of the backend
files an additional subclass of the TexturePrivate is defined.
These subclasses hold the EglImage and GLXPixmap respectively.
The backend is able to create such a private texture and for
that the ctor of the Texture is changed to take the backend as
a parameter and the Scene provides a factory method for
creating Textures. To make this work inside Window the Textures
are now hold as pointers which seems a better choice anyway as
to the member functions pointers are passed.
