Gatis Paeglis 4050ee6ac7 xcb: rely on WM_SIZE_HINTS gravity to handle x,y positioning
The original code was added by b316c3ac5e
(in 2012). This patch changes two things:

1) We now rely on WM to position a window based on the set gravity. It
should not be necessary to calculate coordinates manually as was done
in windowToWmGeometry(). We don't even know the decoration size before
the window is mapped.

2) We now update gravity whenever needed instead of hardcoding based
on what Qt APIs (setGeometry vs setFramePosition) where used to set
the initial window position.

The patch from b316c3a says:

"Determine gravity from initial position. Do not change later as
it will cause the window to move uncontrollably"

Since it did not elaborate on the situation, we can only assume
that it was caused by another bug in Qt at the time or perhaps
a broken WM. From [1]:

"Applications are free to change their win_gravity setting at any
time. If an Application changes its win_gravity then the Window Manager
should adjust the reference point, so that the client window will
not move as the result."

Tested on Ubuntu/Unity, KDE/KWin, Gnome-shell/Mutter, Lubuntu/OpenBox.
Works as expected everywhere expect Unity. Unity seems to ignore
XCB_GRAVITY_STATIC and treats it as XCB_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST, which means
that setGeometry/setFramePosition produce the same placement on this WM
(the behavior was the same also before this patch).

P.S. Also renamed xRect -> rect, which was a leftover from
ae5f2a6672

With this change we can un-blacklist QWidget save/restore geometry
auto tests.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
