--visibility: simplify and improve code
for restoring and saving values
--enable visibility mode early on the startup
sequence
--enable windows tracking after startup phase
has ended
--windows tracking respect also view geometry
changes and not only window changes from the
desktop environment
--when multiple screens placement have edges that overlap
with each other, at that edges struts must be disabled
to provide much better windows behavior. For example when
dragging a window between such screens and there is
an AlwaysVisible panel or dock between them.

--This new approach paints all docks and panels during
starup offscreen. This way especially under x11 not a lot of
visual glitches are appearing all over the place.
After startup time has ended docks and panels are
moved at their original and valid placement and slide in
animations are triggered.
--the new approach is not using timers but actual
events from View in order to identify when the
view is fully shown and when their popup is actual
visible. This way popup showing and view slide-in
is always synchronized properly
BUG:425078
--using hidden VisibilityManager::floatingGapWindow
implementation in order to provide full access for
the area which is below the screen margin when the
user has disabled user interaction for that area
BUG:433820
--when a floating view is hiding its screen gap
there is no reason for struts to be added
during that phase. Published struts could be
the final expected window position in that case.

--onSomethingChanged syntax is preferred for all
slots that are triggered from somethingChanged signals
--doThis syntax is preferred for generic slots that
are triggered from various different codepaths
--floating gap window is now activated independently of
kwin edges supports and only when really needed.
SidebarAutoHide visibility mode has been adjusted in order
to work nicely with floating gap window helper
--View recreation path was broken from new implementation
for Latte::Interfaces that pass objects to containment
interface. This is now fixed and Interfaces::View object is updated
and broadcasted correctly when changed
--when GtkFrameExtents are zeroed for behaveAsPlasmaPanels
then it is better to recreate the view to avoid freezes and
hidings of the view because of compositor strange behavior
--implement things simpler by using the same
CoreTypes header file both for LatteCore.Types
import statement and App c++ implementation.
Let's leave in the future to decide if
a LibLatte is really necessary.
--use a more logical organization for types. LibLatte2
is split to become LatteCore library and Latte types
are now moved to application level. The Latte Types will
be split even more... Tasks-Only related types will
become Latte.Tasks types
BUG:420210
--for floating views the hide timer can do
the trick about when to make the checks
that the view must become hidden. In floating
views should support different default and
current value because it should be greater
that the normal use cases.
--draggingStarted signals/slots were used in order
to handle the active window dragging from empty areas.
The new approach ungrabs the mouse properly through
View relevant function and at the same time sends a
QEvent::Leave event to inform applets that the mouse
has left the view. This is enough in order to remove
any older draggingStarted workarounds and hacks.
