Overlay the shell's status panel and quicksettings panel over the lockscreen, instead of rendering a second copy in the lockscreen theme. This will allow us to improve the lockscreen loading speed.
Key changes:
- Overlay quicksettings window and the status bar over the lockscreen when it is shown
- Refactor the top panel's showing logic to be cleaner (as it supports various overlay modes over fullscreen apps already)
- Implement lockscreen support to the status bar and quicksettings panel in the to panel
- Forward quicksettings panel requests for "unlock" over DBus to the lockscreen
- Add "raiselockscreen" QML plugin to easily request a window to be raised over the lockscreen
Notes:
- Now that we are sharing the quicksettings panel from the shell, notifications that are already there will be shown on the lockscreen (compared to right now, where only new notifications would be shown)

General improvements to the the quick action buttons look and feel. Also, press and hold was added to activate them.
As always, any feedback on these changes is greatly appreciated.
This merge request fixes an issue with notification list scrolling and also adds a few general improvements.
To accomplish this, the notification widget was moved outside of the action drawer swipe area and lock screen swipe area, separating them from the parent-child relationship. Instead, the notification widget is now layered separately on top. This change seems to fix the conflict when both areas are accepting swipes from the same direction.
Additionally, changes were made to the notification list widget for the action drawer to make it behave similarly to the folio home screen app library. Specifically, when at the top of the list, one can swipe down over the notification area to expand the action drawer. In landscape mode, the media widget, clock, and date were also added to the notification list to provide more room for viewing notifications when scrolling.

This change allows scaling of the statusbar (the top panel).
As we have to accommodate for a wide variety of devices with different
physical pixel sizes, we need a way to scale the top panel / status bar.
This change introduces a config value (in plasmamobilerc, such as other
shell settings) that controls this size.
For example (plasmamobilerc):
[General]
statusBarScaleFactor=1.5
(Config UI in kcm mobileshell in separate patch)

Sometimes from suspend, the screen locker only tells us it can be unlocked (and not direct pin entry success), which requires the user to reopen the keypad if it's already open to unlock.
Currently the lockscreen takes 5 seconds to load for me on the OnePlus 6. This MR moves the quicksettings and status bar to only load once the initial lockscreen has loaded (to avoid blocking it). This brings it down the initial load to 1 second for me.
The current lockscreen mockups were originally from this mockup: https://phabricator.kde.org/T12717
There are some issues with it however:
- The 0 key is on the right, which is a bit strange and differs from the layouts of all other platforms
- One-handed usability is worse due to 4 columns instead of 3
- Most mobile lockscreen have the keypad toward the center for one-handed usability, our keypad is stuck to the bottom
- It makes use of a lot of shadows which makes it slower to load
- It's supposed to emulate the design of the keyboard, but it doesn't look like it so it's out of place
The new design is much simpler, with a centered 3 column approach making keys much easier to reach with one hand. It also avoids the use of shadows and layers.
TODO:
- Investigate some improvements for keyboard input
