Here's an implementation of above:
https://invent.kde.org/apol/plasma-wayland-protocols
https://invent.kde.org/apol/kwayland-server

My suggestion as next steps is to turn these into proper KDE
repositories in its own right soon and develop master kwin and plasma
overall against these.

When 5.19 needs releasing, then the wayland protocol would be included in KF5.

Can someone take a look and tell me if it's what they expected? If so
I'll proceed to request the repositories and start talking to the
different stakeholders.
