effects: Strip unused builtin effect metadata

Vlad Zahorodnii requested to merge work/zzag/simplified-effect-metadata into master

This improves plugin loading times. As is, the main issue is the number of builtin effects and the fact that each has a lot of translated strings, which combined adds up to noticeable loading times. KWin itself will never read those translated strings, it only needs two pieces - the plugin id and whether the plugin is enabled by default.

This change adds a little helper to strip unnecessary info from metadata files.
