    Port QPA away from Wayland · bebe8120

    Summary:
    So far wayland was used by internal clients to submit raster buffers
    and position themselves on the screen. While we didn't have issues with
    submitting raster buffers, there were some problems with positioning
    task switchers. Mostly, because we had effectively two paths that may
    alter geometry.
    
    A better approach to deal with internal clients is to let our QPA use
    kwin core api directly. This way we can eliminate unnecessary roundtrips
    as well make geometry handling much easier and comprehensible.
    
    The last missing piece is shadows. Both Plasma::Dialog and Breeze widget
    style use platform-specific APIs to set and unset shadows. We need to
    add shadows API to KWindowSystem. Even though some internal clients lack
    drop-shadows at the moment, I don't consider it to be a blocker. We can
    add shadows back later on.
