Aleix Pol ff7a3c2066 window: Improve how we tell the window to do layer-shell
Instead of telling it in the construction after forcing the window
creation, install an event handler that sets it when we get the
PlatformSurface event.

It has the advantage that it will also trigger in subsequent platform
surface events (e.g. after hide and show).

LayerShellQt

This component is meant for applications to be able to easily use clients based on wlr-layer-shell.

Here you can read about what the protocol does and how shells work: https://drewdevault.com/2018/07/29/Wayland-shells.html

Report issues in this component here: https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=layer-shell-qt

Usage

CMake

To use it from a CMake project you'll need to:

find_package(LayerShellQt REQUIRED)

Then it will offer us the target LayerShellQt::Interface that we can link to to get access to this framework.

C++

You can use LayerShellQt::Shell::useLayerShell(); to enable it before any clients are created.

The class LayerShellQt::Window will give us access to surface-specific settings. We can get it by using LayerShellQt::Window::get(window) on whatever QWindow we need to tweak.
