The AbstractBackend provides a virtual method to create the Screens.
A concrete backend can implement this method to create the backend
specific Screens instance.
This removes the casting logic from Screens::create.
InputRedirection gains basic support for processing touch events which
are delegated to KWayland::Server.
WaylandBackend accepts touch events from KWayland::Client and delegates
them to the InputRedirection.
Both Wayland and X11 backend are bound to the --windowed flag. Which
one to create is decided whether DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY env variables
are set with Wayland having precedence over X11. Passing the display as
command line argument overwrites the env variable and takes further
precedence. E.g. if WAYLAND_DISPLAY is exported and --x11-display
argument is provided, it will create X11 backend. Similarly there is now
a --wayland-display command line argument.
If no backend got created, kwin_wayland will exit.
The singleton variant of WaylandBackend is adjusted to take the display
as argument and pass it to the Connection.
The AbstractBackend registers itself in the WaylandServer allowing
external users to easily get to the backend and not needing to test
manually which backend is used.
This replaces getting the Cursor through the X11CursorTracker which
is now completely dropped. The Cursor data is now passed through from
the Wayland server and forwared to the WaylandBackend.
The WaylandBackend emits a signal when the backend is ready. If a user
connects to it after it became ready, it will never get notified.
Therefore the WaylandBackend tracks also whether it is ready and
implements connectNotify to emit the signal again if a user connects and
the backend is already ready.
Users of the signal need to disconnect if they cannot handle it being
invoked multiple times. So far the only user does handle this properly.
It was used to check whether we should create the Wayland interaction,
but now that is in kwin_wayland and kwin_x11 doesn't even try to create
the WaylandBackend.
The idea is to manage the cursor position by ourself. This is needed
when KWin gains libinput support and doesn't rely on the Seat anymore.
The suggestion for this is to use SubSurfaces. The nice side-effect is
that we can do cursor warping again which we need e.g. for ScreenEdge
activation or for the kill helper, etc. Clients on the other side
still cannot (and should not) warp the pointer.
This means the X11CursorTracker is no longer bound to the WaylandSeat.
Instead the WaylandSeat just connects to the signal emitted by the
X11CursorTracker. This allows to use the X11CursorTracker also in cases
where we don't use a Seat for setting the cursor image.
We are interested in going into createSurface exactly once when
everything is ready. This is something we now know due to the new signal
in Registry. So instead of multiple entry points there is just one.
Moved from wayland_backend.[h|cpp] to buffer.[h|cpp] and
shm_pool.[h|cpp]. Buffer is slightly adjusted to have the ShmPool
passed in as a ctor argument and the ctor is private and friended with
ShmPool, so that it can only be constructed from ShmPool.
A Surface class is split out which holds a wl_surface and supports
attaching a buffer, setting the damage and emitting a signal when the
frame callback got called.
It doesn't come with a unit test yet as it first needs the ShmPool
and Buffer properly split out to easily set it up.
New classes Shell and ShellSurface are created. Both are in shell.[h|cpp]
to indicate their close relationship with the Shell having to create the
ShellSurface.
WaylandBackend is adjusted to hold a Shell* and ShellSurface* instead of
the lower level structs. This also required adjustements to the creation
of the Backend as it now doesn't set a default size any more. Thus the
backendReady signal may not be emitted before the initial configure
event arrived. This also makes it easier to support either the fullscreen
shell or wl_shell at the same time.
Of course a unit test is added for the two new classes. This needs to
be extended once we have more control over the mock Wayland server.
At the same time adding an autotest for the Output, moving the listener
into the Output class and providing enums for Subpixel and Transform.
KWin now requires wl_ouput interface version 2 as that allows us to emit
the changed signal in a better way.
The unit test is not yet capable of testing everything, we need a mock
Wayland server which is more flexible.
The FullscreenShell is a Wayland protocol provided by Weston to have
exactly one surface per output. This is exactly what KWin needs. So
in case the Wayland server we connect to provides the FullscreenShell
we prefer it over the normal Shell and mapping our surface as fullscreen.
The protocol is not yet part of wayland-client library, so the header
and source file needs to be generated. This is done during the build
process using the external tool wayland-scanner. The protocol
description is copied from the Westion 1.5 sources.

The Wayland::Registry class wraps wl_registry handling. It keeps track
of the interfaces in the registry and emits signals whenever a known
interface gets announced or removed. So far it only tracks the interfaces
which are used and needed by KWin.
The Wayland event queue is moved into a dedicated thread and a
new class is created for just creating the connection and listening
for events. The WaylandBackend creates the thread and uses an event
queue for the main thread.

All of kwin except the main function goes into a new (private) library
called kwin. Two new kdeinit_executables are created:
* kwin_x11
* kwin_wayland
Both only use a dedicated main_x11.cpp and main_wayland.cpp with the
main function and a KWin::Application subclass and linking the new
kwin library.
The main idea behind this is to be able to perform more sane sanity
checks. E.g. on Wayland we don't need to first test whether we can
create an X11 connection. Instead we should abort if we cannot connect
to the Wayland display. Also the multi-head checks are not needed on
Wayland, etc. etc. As most of that code is in the main function to
simplify it's better to split.
This will also make it easier to diverge more easily in future. The
Wayland variant can introduce more suited command line arguments for
example. This already started by having the --replace option only
available in X11 variant. The Wayland backend is still a window manager,
but doesn't claim the manager selection.
The Wayland Backend connects to the wl_output interface to get
information about the connected outputs and their modes. This information
can be used to setup screen information.
The Wayland Backend watches the socket it uses for communicating with the
Wayland compositor. If the socket is removed we have to perform a kind of
emergency stop. The backend tears down all data structures created from
the Wayland display and emits a signal that the system compositor died.
In addition the Wayland Backend starts to monitor the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for
the socket to be added again. If the socket is created again the backend
reinitializes the Wayland connection.
This also requires the Compositor to restart. Therefore it connects to
the new signals emitted by the Wayland Backend to stop and start
compositing.
Major new functionality is xkbcommon support. InputRedirection holds an
instance to a small wrapper class which has the xkb context, keymap and
state. The keymap is initialied from the file descriptor we get from the
Wayland backend.
InputRedirection uses this to translate the keycodes into keysymbols and
to QString and to track the modifiers as provided by the
Qt::KeybordModifiers flags.
This provides us enough information for internal usage (e.g. pass through
effects if they have "grabbed" the keyboard).
If KWin doesn't filter out the key events, it passes them on to the
currently active Client respectively an unmanaged on top of the stack.
This needs still some improvement (not each unmanaged should get the
event). The Client/Unmnaged still uses xtest extension to send the key
events to the window. So keylogging is still possible.
