Martin Gräßlin 2506f0e78a [mousepad] Integrate with KWayland for fake input support
KWayland provides a FakeInput interface which KWin as a compositor
supports. This can be used to fake input events on Wayland. As it's
a KWin specific interface it won't work with other Wayland compositors.

If the compositor does not support the required interface, the
module just doesn't do anything. Support in the implementation is
completely optional.

Adding fake input events circumvents the Wayland security model.
Because of that the interface is designed in a way that the security
decision can be done by the compositor and can be delegated to the
user.

On first input event kdeconnect tries to "authenticate" with the
compositor. This gives the compositor the possibility to e.g. ask
the user whether it should be allowed. It's not done on startup or
of load module as that would show such a message way to early and
the user would not be able to connect it with his action on the
smartphone.
