    Introduce helper to restart kwin on crash exit · 86c60665

    Right now when kwin exits, the user is taken directly back to the login
    screen. The login session exits, so all processes then are killed by the
    session.
    
    This patchset introduces a mechanism to safely restart kwin. The socket
    (typically wayland-0) remains alive and persistent across restarts. This
    means if any process reconnects through it's own mechanism or a crash
    restart handler the socket appears to work, and blocks until the new
    kwin restarts.
    
    This makes it secure and race free.
    
    If the screen was locked at the time kwin went down, this is also
    secure. Kwin now checks the status from logind at the time of launch, so
    will immediately restore a locked state before any other rendering.
