Scripts and scripted effects can provide a ui file which gets loaded at
runtime. Obviously such a ui file is not translated. This introduces
quite a hack to load the translated strings.
In the metadata.desktop file the scripted component can provide a key
X-KWin-Config-TranslationDomain. The genericscriptedconfig tries to
locate the metadata.desktop file and reads this entry. If it is present
we extract all string properties of the loaded UI and pass them through
ki18nd.

Supported Features:
* move/resize
* active/inactive
* special window type
* window decoration as missing in AnimationEffect
The animations are cancelled when they go into an invisible state (e.g.
desktop changed, minimized) and are set again when the window becomes
visible.
Where a transition is useful, the window gets animated, e.g. start/finish
of move resize.

Many headers included KLocale to use i18n and co. But those methods are
defined in KLocalizedString and not in KLocale.
With KF5 klocale.h does no longer include KLocalizedString causing lots
of compile errors.
Port the KCM to use KConfigXT which means that the complete custom code
for loading, saving and setting to defaults can be dropped.
Also in the effect in brings some advantages as we basically get compile
time checks whether the accessed config is named correctly.
The saved values for translucency are now UInts in [0,100] instead of
doubles in [0.0,1.0], so an update script is needed.

The effect should have had two animations:
* on move resize
* on active/inactive change
But the timeline was adjusted in the prePaintWindow call and the timeline
is effect global and not per window. Which means that for each window the
same time is added. So instead of adding time t each frame t*n with n
being the number of windows got added. So in most cases the animation
ended in the first or second frame which means its not visible.
Through git blame I was able to track down that this incorrect behavior
was introduced in 2008. An animation broken for more than four years
without anybody noticing is probably not required. Because of that it's
dropped from the effect. As this includes quite some code and performance
improvements it goes into the release branch.
A better solution could be implemented, but that should be for 4.10.

There were quite some useless checks like e.g. first checking whether
a window is the desktop and taking a different code path for that case
and in the other code path checking again.
Also using the new introduced boolean values for the checks instead of
comparing floating point numbers all the time.
The effect gets a set of boolean values to check whether it is active for
one of the categories (e.g. move resize, decorations).
This allows to easily check whether the effect is active at all, that is
if all values are at 1.0 the effect will never affect a window.
In all other cases it can be combined with looking at the available
windows to e.g. enable the effect for move resize only when there is a
window which is either moved or resized. This check is performed whenever
an action happens which could cause a window to become inactive.

The supportInformation is extended to also read the properties
on all effects. In addition each effect can be queried just for
itself through D-Bus, e.g.:
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformationForEffect kwin4_effect_blur
All effects are extended to provide their configured and read
settings through properties. In some cases also important
runtime information is exposed.

The public member variables for opacity, saturation and brightness
are removed in favor for getter and setters. The variables are
moved into a private class. Those are now qreal instead of double.
To make usage inside the effects easier a multiply method is added
which multiplies the current value with passed in factor and returns
the new value in a functional programming style.

The KWin::TimeLine class was only a small wrapper around QTimeLine
without adding anything to QTimeLine what is not present in QTimeLine.
The initial idea was to make it possible to provide more curve shapes.
This is now obsoleted by Qt shipping more useful curves with QTimeLine.
So let's clean up a little bit and use QTimeLine directly instead of
the small wrapper.
All effects are adjusted to use QTimeLine directly.
First a signal is emitted when the user starts a move/resize operation.
During the move/resize operation each geometry change emits an update signal.
Last but not least a finish signal is emitted.
This eliminates the specific method for geometry updates in drawbound resize
mode.
