Summary:
Added the option to turn on noise behind the blurred area.
The lowest strength value disables it completely, so it is optional and is disabled by default.
Test Plan:
Edit: this new screenshot shows the updated noise generation.
Edit2: separated the screenshots so you can flick through them to clearly see the differences

Summary:
Since the new blur is more efficient "fastblur" or "simpleblur" is not needed anymore for fullscreen blur.
Even my old low-end laptop from 2009 (with Intel T3300) can easily do fullscreen blur now with the new method without any hitch at all.

Summary:
Updated the old and outdated blur method to use the much more efficient dual kawase blur method.
Now with this we can do virtually infinite blur with very very little performance cost.
The dual kawase blur method is basically downscaling and upscaling an image, but combined with the kawase blur shader.
Comparison: https://i.imgur.com/mh6Cw61.png
Left is old, right is new.
Comparison was done with the strongest blur setting in a VM running on an Intel i7-4790 and a GTX980
We can see here that the performance is even better with this new method.

Summary:
It is known to create problems especially on multi-screen and is not as
important on Wayland as it used to be on X11 thanks to things like
buffer age and in general better rendering.

Especially the BlurEffect::expanded() method is called a lot.
Saves creating a temporary QVector.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D9101
Summary:
Instead of calling reconfigure() on screen size changes, which deletes
and recreates the effect, we can just update the one texture that's mapped to
the screen size.

From the wayland commit.
>What surprises me is that BlurManager recreates for Output changes.
>That sounds like a bug in KWin (or an area which could be improved).
I had thought the same and wrote this (though wanted to have kwayland fixed first)
Test Plan:
Logged in and out (my screen resizes on startup due to scaling)
Tested on my X machine by turning a screen off. Nothing broke, plasma
panels looked the same.
Note: Eike tried this patch last week and claimed kwin still crashed.
We don't have a backtrace so it could have been something unrelated,
applied wrong or that he was deliberately lying to wind me up.

Summary:
Several effects announce a support property atom on the root window. This
change forwards the KWin::Application's signal that the xcbConnection
changed to the EffectsHandler so that the effects can respond to it.
All effects which announce a support property connect to this new signal
and re-announce the property. In case the xcb connection died (future
XWayland crashing case) it is set to XCB_ATOM_NONE by that. In case the
xcb connection got created (future delayed XWayland startup) the atom is
set to the proper value.
In addition all usages of the support properties are guarded, so that no
nonesense actions are performed if the support property is XCB_ATOM_NONE.

Summary:
This patch caputres from the framebuffer using the framebuffer's
geometry, factoring in scale. We then keep the current normal DPI
framebuffer causing it to downsample there.
This is good because:
- it keeps the code very simple
- it's a performance optimisation. Blurring on 4k is naturally more
expensive than at regular DPI. Downsampling keeps it the same - and you
can't see a difference given it's high DPI and you're going to blur it
anwyay.
- it keeps kernel sizes somewhat resolution independent so it will look
just as blurry across multiple screens.
::doCachedBlur still needs doing.
Test Plan:
Ran an app
Ran the kwindowsystem blur test
Observed the right part of the window being blurred

Summary:
By changing all kcfg to have arg="true" we can pass in the same
KSharedConfigPtr into all effects. This allows to have fake config in
the tests and in the planned effect demo mode.
Also it means that we don't have to hardcode the name kwinrc into the
files. In the configs - where we cannot access the effectshandler - we
use the define KWIN_CONFIG which gets generated based on the compile
time arguments.

Summary:
The glCopyTex(Sub)Image calls are adjusted to take the per output
rendering into account. In addition contrast effect sets the model view
projection matrix in each call to ensure it's on the correct screen.
Blur probably needs more changes for the cached texture to work, but
it's a start.

same thing for backgroundcontrast
reviewed by: Martin Gräßlin <mgraesslin@kde.org>
Effects which require mipmaps need to check for LimitedNPOT and
disable the functionality if only limited NPOT is available.
Ideally the effects could also check whether the texture they
operate on is a power of two, but that's a little overkill for
the rather uncommon setup.
REVIEW: 126966
If a window is fullscreen and wants fullscreen blur behind it, we
use the blur from logout effect. This is mostly intended for the
Application Dashboard which requires a fullscreen blur. The generic
blur effect is not designed for such usage and is rather costly.
This simplified blur just needs framebuffer blit and midmaps. This
makes it rather cheap in usage and also doesn't need a cached texture.
REVIEW: 126906
The blur effect so far calculated a custom model view projection matrix.
This is not needed as we have the current projection matrix available in
WindowPaintData and EffectFrame.
REVIEW: 126215
Following the approach how it's done for X11: only create the interface
if the shader succeeded to compile and remove support again if it failed
to compile after a reconfigure.

This is a kind of workaround for the flicker of fading out windows.
When a window is faded out it is a deleted and can by that be used
as a sufficient solution to work around the problem.

Instead of getting size from displayWidth() and displayHeight() use
the information we have from Screens. This means there is only one
place to have the information and by that we can ensure that all
components use the same data to rely on. displayWidth/displayHeight
seem to provide the wrong information when unplugging an output
without disabling the output. This results in rendering artefacts.
But KWin::Screens has the correct information available.
This removes all the hacks to add kwin4_effect_ to the name of the Effect
and adjusts the desktop files of the effect configuration's parent
component.
Note: the scripted effects still start with kwin4_effect_ prefix.
REVIEW: 117367
All KCMs and KWin core use the BuiltInEffects namespace to find and
interact with the effects. There is no information left in the desktop
file which are of usage. Thus they can be removed.
