    kwineffects: Strip ScreenPaintData of transforms · fa78de62
    Vlad Zahorodnii authored
    ScreenPaintData provides a way to transform the painted screen, e.g.
    scale or translate. From API point of view, it's great. It allows
    fullscreen effects to transform the workspace in various ways.
    
    On the other hand, such effects end up fighting the default scene
    painting algorithm. For example, just have a look at the slide effect!
    With fullscreen effects, it's better to leave to them the decision how
    the screen should be painted. For example, such approach is taken in
    some wayland compositors, e.g. wayfire, and our qtquick effects already
    operate in similar fashion.
    
    Given that, strip the ScreenPaintData of all available transforms. The
    main motivation behind this change is to improve encapsulation of item
    painting code and simplify model-view-projection code in kwin. It will
    also make the job of extracting item code for sharing purposes easier.
