Introduce porting aid xdg-shell integration plugin fork

Vlad Zahorodnii requested to merge work/zzag/plasma-shell-integration into master

In order to port plasma to the layer-shell protocol, plasma must be able to create a popup with a layer surface as the parent.

With Qt 6.5 and older, there's no nicer way other than provide a custom shell integration plugin. In Qt 6.6, we introduced an API that layer-shell-qt could use to associate xdg popups with it.

Qt 6.6 will be released in September if everything goes smooth, but it's not ideal to wait until that point to start the porting process.

This change introduces a temporary fork of the xdg-shell integration plugin to allow us start the porting process now. When Qt 6.6 is released, the fork shell integration plugin will be dropped.

Depends on some API in layer-shell-qt!31 (closed)
