Compute tile geometry without relying on electric border mode

Vlad Zahorodnii requested to merge work/zzag/electric-border-maximize-geometry-to-quick-tile-geometry into master

Quick tiling allows you tile a window so it covers one half or a quarter of the screen. Electric border is basically interactive flavor of quick tiling, i.e. it allows you to drag a window to the top screen edge to maximize it.

Currently, it's confusing that tile geometry is computed based on the electric border mode.

This change converts electricBorderMaximizeGeometry() in a helper that's used to compute the tile geometry given the desired mode and output containing the specified QPoint. With that, setQuickTileMode() won't need to set electric border anymore, which makes tiling code more comprehensible, but by not a lot unfortunately.
