effects/overview: Use out cubic easing curve consistently

Vlad Zahorodnii requested to merge work/zzag/use-out-cubic-curve-consistently into master

The intro and the outro animations are very short and they usually affect all windows on the screen. Windows have to travel a lot and in very short time, this doesn't look.

Similar to other windows, this change makes the overview effect use the out cubic curve for window movements. That way, user will look at flatter parts of the easing curve more, i.e. the window would move less chaotically and simply jump to their target position.

Similar to the WindowHeap, this change makes the overview effect use the out cubic everywhere else so the intro and the outro animations look coherent.

I know that hig recommends to use in-and-out easing curve, but it doesn't work when almost everything needs to be animated on the screen imho. Another advantage of the proposed change is that intro and outro animations will look sudden which is good because the overview is not simply an eye candy thingy like the wobbly windows effect.
