Allow opting out of remembering window positions on X11

Various people have requested this, for reasons that seem sensible enough to me:

  • Some people like the KWin positioning modes and want all windows to follow them
  • It might be annoying to have only KDE apps follow this setting and preferable to not use it at all for people who use mostly non-KDE apps
  • The per-screen-arrangement memory feature may interact strangely or in a buggy manner for some people's screen arrangements

For those reasons, it seems reasonable to allow disabling the feature, though it still remains on by default. This commit turns it off if AllowKDEAppsToRememberWindowPositions=false is set in the user's kdeglobals file. A GUI to toggle this will be added in a separate commit to some System Settings KCM.
