Tor Arne Vestbø eb4cb71925 widgets: Use per-surface-format RHI support and compositor
The RHI support and compositor in QPlatformBackingStore were
tied to the surface format of the top level window owning
the backing store.

This meant that inserting an RHI-enabled widget (QRhiWidget,
QOpenGLWidget, QQuickWidget, QWebEngineView) into the widget
hierarchy required recreating the top level window with a
matching surface format that could support the RHI composition.

It also meant that we could not have two RHI enabled widgets
with different surface format requirements (Metal and OpenGL
for example) in the same top level widget hierarchy.

The recreation of the window had various visual side effects,
such as temporarily switching out of full screen state, or the
widget rendering a frame of black, as well as more serious
problems such as not correctly restoring the window geometry.

In addition, if client code had pulled out the winId() of the
window, and did not invalidate these references on window
destruction via QEvent::WinIdChange or QEvent::PlatformSurface,
the client would reference stale window handles. Although
this is a programming error (QWidget::winId() specifically
mentions this requirement), we should avoid recreation if
we can.

We were already supporting flushing the backingstore to
individual native child widgets, but always did so via a
single RHI managed by the platform backingstore. By
expanding QPlatformBackingStore to keep one set of RHI
support and compositor per surface format, we can refine
the logic in QWidget and QWidgetRepaintManager to not
require recreating the top level. Native child widgets
are then flushed independently, including any RHI textures
and raster content that overlaps with the widget.

We still assume that a single RHI support and compositor
can be be used for multiple windows, as long as those
windows have the same surface format. In the future, if
needed, we can refine this to use one set per surface
format e.g.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
