D1230: GBM remote access support for KWin

[David Edmundson]

  There is one issue we need to work out how to fix - with this system if you're running VNC you won't see the client's mouse.
  
  For VNC it's not a huge problem as you can see your own mouse, for screen recording it makes it useless.
  
  As I see it there are 3 options:
  
  - We make kwin render the background + cursor into a new texture
  - We provide the mouse buffer to the RemoteAccess buffer just like we pass the outputs. We would need to pass some sort of offset in org_kde_kwin_remote_buffer
  - dynamically switch usesSoftwareCursor() in the backend when recording.
