Subject: [PATCH] homescreens/folio: Improve performance of wallpaper blur, and
 enable by default Fixes
 https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-mobile/-/issues/306

I added a ShaderEffectSource in between so that the blur only samples the wallpaper when necessary

I also switched to FastBlur which seems to be much, much faster than MultiEffect on the PinePhone.

From testing, this made the performance about on-par with no blur at all.
