Remove the ahigl example screen driver.

This example is very old, doesn't work, and confuses anyone
who reads about it into thinking that OpenGL compositing is
possible with Qt/Embedded, which is not accurate.

-    \example qws/ahigl
-    \title OpenGL for Embedded Systems Example
-
-    \section1 Introduction
-
-    This example demonstrates how you can use OpenGL for Embedded
-    Systems (ES) in your own screen driver and \l{add your graphics
-    driver to Qt for Embedded Linux}. In \l{Qt for Embedded Linux},
-    painting is done in software, normally performed in two steps:
-    First, each client renders its windows onto its window surface in
-    memory using a paint engine. Then the server uses the screen
-    driver to compose the window surface images and copy the
-    composition to the screen.  (See the \l{Qt for Embedded Linux
-    Architecture} documentation for details.)
-
-    This example is not for the novice. It assumes the reader is
-    familiar with both OpenGL and the screen driver framework
-    demonstrated in the \l {Accelerated Graphics Driver Example}.
-
-    An OpenGL screen driver for Qt for Embedded Linux can use OpenGL ES
-    in three ways. First, the \l{QWSServer}{Qt for Embedded Linux server}
-    can use the driver to compose multiple window images and then show the
-    composition on the screen. Second, clients can use the driver to
-    accelerate OpenGL painting operations using the QOpenGLPaintEngine
-    class. Finally, clients can use the driver to do OpenGL operations
-    with instances of the QGLWidget class. This example implements all
-    three cases.
-
-    The example uses an implementation of OpenGL ES from 
-    \l {http://ati.amd.com}{ATI} for the 
-    \l {http://ati.amd.com/products/imageon238x/}{Imageon 2380}. The
-    OpenGL include files gl.h and egl.h must be installed to compile
-    the example, and the OpenGL and EGL libraries must be installed
-    for linking. If your target device is different, you must install
-    the include files and libraries for that device, and you also
-    might need to modify the example source code, if any API signatures
-    in your EGL library differ from the ones used here.
-
-    After compiling and linking the example source, install the
-    screen driver plugin with the command \c {make install}. To
-    start an application that uses the plugin, you can either set the
-    environment variable \l QWS_DISPLAY and then start the
-    application, or just start the application with the \c -display
-    switch, as follows:
-
-    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_examples_ahigl.qdoc 0
-
-    The example driver also implements an animated transition effect
-    for use when showing new windows or reshowing windows that have
-    been minimized. To enable this transition effect, run the
-    application with \c {-display ahigl:effects}.
-
-    \section1 The Class Definitions
-
-    The example comprises three main classes plus some helper classes.
-    The three main classes are the plugin (QAhiGLScreenPlugin), which
-    is defined in qscreenahiglplugin.cpp, the screen driver
-    (QAhiGLScreen), which is defined in qscreenahigl_qws.h, and the
-    window surface (QAhiGLWindowSurface), which is defined in
-    qwindowsurface_ahigl_p.h. The "Ahi" prefix in these class names
-    stands for \e {ATI Handheld Interface}. The example was written
-    for the ATI Imageon 2380, but it can also be used as a template
-    for other ATI handheld devices.
-
-    \section2 The Plugin Class Definition
-
-    The screen driver plugin is class QAhiGLScreenPlugin.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahiglplugin.cpp 0
-
-    QAhiGLScreenPlugin is derived from class QScreenDriverPlugin,
-    which in turn is derived from QObject.
-
-    \section2 The Screen Driver Class Definitions
-
-    The screen driver classes are the public class QAhiGLScreen and
-    its private implementation class QAhiGLScreenPrivate. QAhiGLScreen
-    is derived from QGLScreen, which is derived from QScreen. If your
-    screen driver will only do window compositions and display them,
-    then you can derive your screen driver class directly from
-    QScreen.  But if your screen driver will do accelerated graphics
-    rendering operations with the QOpenGLPaintEngine, or if it will
-    handle instances of class QGLWidget, then you must derive your
-    screen driver class from QGLScreen.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.h 0
-
-    All functions in the public API of class QAhiGLScreen are virtual
-    functions declared in its base classes. hasOpenGL() is declared in
-    QGLScreen. It simply returns true indicating our example screen
-    driver does support OpenGL operations.  The other functions in the
-    public API are declared in QScreen.  They are called by the
-    \l{QWSServer}{Qt for Embedded Linux server} at the appropriate times.
-
-    Note that class QScreen is a documented class but class QGLScreen
-    is not. This is because the design of class QGLScreen is not yet
-    final.
-
-    The only data member in class QAhiGLScreen is a standard d_ptr,
-    which points to an instance of the driver's private implementation
-    class QAhiGLScreenPrivate. The driver's internal state is stored
-    in the private class. Using the so-called d-pointer pattern allows
-    you to make changes to the driver's internal design without
-    breaking binary compatibility.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 0
-
-    Class QAhiGLScreenPrivate is derived from QObject so that it can
-    use the Qt signal/slot mechanism. QAhiGLScreen is not a QObject,
-    so it can't use the signal/slot mechanism. Signals meant for our
-    screen driver are received by slots in the private implementation
-    class, in this case, windowEvent() and redrawScreen().
-
-    \section2 The Window Surface Class Definitions
-
-    The window surface classes are QAhiGLWindowSurface and its private
-    implementation class QAhiGLWindowSurfacePrivate. We create class
-    QAhiGLWindowSurface so the screen driver can use the OpenGL paint
-    engine and the OpenGL widget, classes QOpenGLPaintEngine and
-    QGLWidget.  QAhiGLWindowSurface is derived from the more general
-    OpenGL window surface class, QWSGLWindowSurface, which is derived
-    from QWSWindowSurface.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qwindowsurface_ahigl_p.h 0
-
-    In addition to implementing the standard functionality required by
-    any new subclass of QWSWindowSurface, QAhiGLWindowSurface also
-    contains the textureId() function used by QAhiGLScreen.
-
-    The same d-pointer pattern is used in this window surface class.
-    The private implementation class is QAhiGLWindowSurfacePrivate. It
-    allows making changes to the state variables of the window surface
-    without breaking binary compatibility.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qwindowsurface_ahigl.cpp 0
-
-    In this case, our private implementation class has no member
-    functions except for its constructor. It contains only public data
-    members which hold state information for the window surface.
-
-    \section2 The Helper Classes
-
-    The example screen driver maintains a static \l {QMap} {map} of
-    all the \l {QWSWindow} {windows} it is showing on the screen.
-    Each window is mapped to an instance of struct WindowInfo.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 2
-
-    As each new window is created, an instance of struct WindowInfo is
-    allocated and inserted into the window map. WindowInfo uses a
-    GLuint to identify the OpenGL texture it creates for the window.
-    Note that the example driver, in addition to drawing windows using
-    OpenGL, also supports drawing windows in the normal way without
-    OpenGL, but it uses an OpenGL texture for the rendering operations
-    in either case.  Top-level windows that are drawn without OpenGL
-    are first rendered in the normal way into a shared memory segment,
-    which is then converted to a OpenGL texture and drawn to the
-    screen.
-
-    To animate the window transition effect, WindowInfo uses an
-    instance of the helper class ShowAnimation.  The animation is
-    created by the windowEvent() slot in QAhiGLScreenPrivate, whenever
-    a \l {QWSServer::WindowEvent} {Show} window event is emitted by
-    the \l {QWSServer} {window server}. The server emits this signal
-    when a window is shown the first time and again later, when the
-    window is reshown after having been minimized.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 1
-
-    Class ShowAnimation is derived from the QTimeLine class, which is
-    used for controlling animations. QTimeLine is a QObject, so
-    ShowAnimation can use the Qt signal/slot mechanism. We will see
-    how the timeline's \l {QTimeLine::valueChanged()} {valueChanged()}
-    and \l {QTimeLine::finished()} {finished()} signals are used to
-    control the animation and then destroy the instance of
-    ShowAnimation, when the animation ends. The ShowAnimation
-    constructor needs the pointer to the screen driver's private
-    implementation class so it can set up these signal/slot
-    connections.
-
-    \section1 The Class Implementations
-
-    \section2 The Plugin Class Implementation
-
-    QAhiGLScreenPlugin is a straightforward derivation of
-    QScreenDriverPlugin.  It reimplements \l{QScreenDriverPlugin::}{keys()}
-    and \l{QScreenDriverPlugin::}{create()}. They are
-    called as needed by the \l{QWSServer}{Qt for Embedded Linux server.}
-    Recall that the server detects that the ahigl screen driver has
-    been requested, either by including "ahigl" in the value for the
-    environment variable QWS_DISPLAY, or by running your application
-    with a command line like the following.
-
-    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_examples_ahigl.qdoc 1
-
-    The server calls \l {QScreenDriverPlugin::} {keys()}, which
-    returns a \l {QStringList} containing the singleton "ahigl"
-    matching the requested screen driver and telling the server that
-    it can use our example screen driver. The server then calls \l
-    {QScreenDriverPlugin::} {create()}, which creates the instance of
-    QAhiGLScreen.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahiglplugin.cpp 1
-
-    In the code snippet above, the macro Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2 is used to export
-    the plugin class, QAhiGLScreen, for the qahiglscreen plugin.
-    Further information regarding plugins and how to create them
-    can be found at \l{How to Create Qt Plugins}.
-
-    \section2 The Screen Driver Class Implementations
-
-    The plugin creates the singleton instance of QAhiGLScreen. The
-    constructor is passed a \c displayId, which is used in the base
-    class QGLScreen to identify the server that the screen driver is
-    connected to. The constructor also creates its instance of
-    QAhiGLScreenPrivate, which instantiates a QTimer. The timeout()
-    signal of this timer is connected to the redrawScreen() slot so
-    the timer can be used to limit the frequency of actual drawing
-    operations in the hardware.
-
-    The public API of class QAhiGLScreen consists of implementations
-    of virtual functions declared in its base classes. The function
-    hasOpenGL() is declared in base class QGLScreen. The others are
-    declared in base class QScreen.
-
-    The \l {QScreen::}{connect()} function is the first one called by
-    the server after the screen driver is constructed. It initializes
-    the QScreen data members to hardcoded values that describe the ATI
-    screen. A better implementation would query the hardware for the
-    corresponding values in its current state and use those. It asks
-    whether the screen driver was started with the \c effects option
-    and sets the \c doEffects flag accordingly.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 7
-
-    The \l {QScreen::}{initDevice()} function is called by the server
-    after \l {QScreen::}{connect()}. It uses EGL library functions to
-    initialize the ATI hardware. Note that some data structures used
-    in this example are specific to the EGL implementation used, e.g.,
-    the DummyScreen structure.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 8
-
-    Note the signal/slot connection at the bottom of initDevice(). We
-    connect the server's QWSServer::windowEvent() signal to the
-    windowEvent() slot in the screen driver's private implementation
-    class.  The windowEvent() slot handles three window events,
-    QWSServer::Create, QWSServer::Destroy, and QWSServer::Show.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 5
-
-    The function manages instances of the helper classes associated
-    with each window.  When a QWSServer::Create event occurs, it means
-    a new top-level \l {QWSWindow} {window} has been created. In this
-    case, an instance of helper class WindowInfo is created and
-    inserted into the window map with the pointer to the new \l
-    {QWSWindow} {window} as its key. When a QWSServer::Destroy event
-    occurs, a window is being destroyed, and its mapping is removed
-    from the window map. These two events are straightforward. The
-    tricky bits happen when a QWSServer::Show event occurs. This case
-    occurs when a window is shown for the first time and when it is
-    reshown after having been minimized. If the window transition
-    effect has been enabled, a new instance of the helper class
-    ShowAnimation is created and stored in a QPointer in the window's
-    instance of WindowInfo. The constructor of ShowAnimation
-    automatically \l {QTimeLine::start()} {starts} the animation of
-    the transition effect.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 3
-
-    To ensure that a ShowAnimation is not deleted until its animation
-    ends, the \l {QTimeLine::finished()} {finished()} signal is
-    connected to the \l {QObject::deleteLater()} {deleteLater()} slot.
-    When the animation ends, the finished() signal is emitted and the
-    deleteLater() slot deletes the ShowAnimation. The key here is that
-    the pointer to the ShowAnimation is stored in a QPointer in the
-    WindowInfo class. This QPointer will also be notified when the
-    ShowAnimation is deleted, so the QPointer in WindowInfo can null
-    itself out, if and only if it is still pointing to the instance
-    of ShowAnimation being deleted.
-
-    The \l {QTimeLine::valueForTime()} {valueForTime()} function in
-    QTimeLine is reimplemented in ShowAnimation to return time values
-    that represent a curved path for the window transition effect.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 4
-
-    valueForTime() is called internally, when the time interval it
-    computed during the previous call has elapsed. If it computes a
-    next time value that is different from the one computed
-    previously, the \l {QTimeLine::valueChanged()} {valueChanged()}
-    signal is emitted.  The ShowAnimation constructor shown above
-    connects this signal to the redrawScreen() slot in the screen
-    driver's private implementation class. This is how the animation
-    actually happens.
-
-    The screen driver's implementation of \l {QScreen::}
-    {exposeRegion()} is where the main work of the screen driver is
-    meant to be done, i.e., updating the screen. It is called by the
-    \l {QWSServer} {window system} to update a particular window's
-    region of the screen. But note that it doesn't actually update the
-    screen, i.e., it doesn't actually call redrawScreen() directly,
-    but starts the updateTimer, which causes redrawScreen() to be
-    called once for each updateTimer interval. This means that all
-    calls to exposeRegion() during an updateTimer interval are handled
-    by a single call to redrawScreen(). Thus updateTimer can be used
-    to limit the frequency of screen updates.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 13
-
-    The call to the private function invalidateTexture() destroys
-    the window's existing texture (image). This ensures that a new
-    texture will be created for the window, when redrawScreen() is
-    eventually called.
-
-    But there is a caveat to using updateTimer to limit the frequency
-    of screen updates. When the driver's animated transition effect
-    for new windows is enabled and a new window is being shown for the
-    first time or reshown after having been minimized, an instance of
-    ShowAnimation is created to run the animation. The valueChanged()
-    signal of this ShowAnimation is also connected to the
-    redrawScreen() slot, and QTimeLine, the base class of our
-    ShowAnimation, uses its own, internal timer to limit the speed of
-    the animation. This means that in the driver as currently written,
-    if the window transition effect is enabled (i.e. if the plugin is
-    started, with \c {-display ahigl:effects}), then redrawScreen()
-    can be called both when the update timer times out and when the
-    ShowAnimation timer times out, so the screen might get updated
-    more often than the frequency established by the update timer.
-    This may or may not be a bug, depending on your own hardware, if
-    you use this example as a template for your own OpenGL driver.
-
-    The screen driver's private function redrawScreen() constructs
-    the window compositions. It is called only by the function of the
-    same name in the screen driver's private implementation class.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 6
-
-    Recall that this redrawScreen() in the private implementation
-    class is a slot function connected to two signals, the \c
-    timeout() signal of the updateTimer in the private implementation
-    class, and the valueChanged() signal of the helper class
-    ShowAnimation. Thus, the screen is only ever updated when a
-    timeout of one of the two timers occurs. This is important for two
-    reasons. First, the screen is meant to be updated no more than
-    once per updateTimer interval. Second, however, if the animated
-    window transition effect is requested, the screen might be updated
-    more often than that, and this might be a bug if the hardware
-    can't handle more frequent updates.
-
-    The redrawScreen() in QAhiGLScreen begins by using standard
-    OpenGL to fill the screen with the background color.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 10
-
-    Next it iterates over the list of all \l {QWSWindow} {client
-    windows} obtained from the \l {QWSServer} {server}, extracting
-    from each window its instance of QWSWIndowSurface, then using that
-    window surface to create an OpenGL texture, and finally calling
-    the helper function drawWindow() to draw the texture on the
-    screen.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 11
-
-    Note the call to glBindTexture() immediately before the call to
-    drawWindow(). This call binds the identifer \c GL_TEXTURE_2D to
-    the texture we have just created. This makes our texture
-    accessible to functions in the OpenGL libraries. If you miss that
-    point, digging into the internals of drawWindow() won't make much
-    sense.
-
-    Finally, the cursor is added to the window composition, and in the
-    last statement, the whole thing is displayed on the screen.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 12
-
-    The call to \c drawWindow(win,progress), in addition to passing a
-    pointer to the window to be redrawn, also passes the \c progress
-    parameter obtained by calling \l {QTimeLine::currentValue()} on
-    the window's instance of ShowAnimation. Recall that the current
-    value of the timeline is updated internally by a timer local to
-    the timeline, and the redrawScreen() slot is called whenever the
-    current value changes. The progress value will only be used if
-    the animated transition effect has been enabled. These extra calls
-    of redrawScreen() may cause the screen to be updated more often
-    than the rate determined by updateTimer. This must be taken
-    into account, if you set your updateTimer to timeout at the
-    maximum screen update frequency your hardware can handle.
-
-    The drawWindow() function is not shown here and not explained
-    further, but the call to drawWindow() is the entry point to a
-    hierarchy of private helper functions that execute sequences of
-    OpenGL and EGL library calls. The reader is assumed to be familiar
-    enough with the OpenGL and EGL APIs to understand the code in
-    these helper functions on his own. Besides drawWindow(), the list
-    of these helper functions includes drawQuad(), drawQuadWavyFlag(),
-    the two overloadings of drawQuad_helper() (used by drawQuad() and
-    drawQuadWacyFlag()), and setRectCoords().
-
-    Note the two different ways the window's texture can be created in
-    redrawScreen(). If the window surface is an OpenGL window surface
-    (QAhiGLWindowSurface described below), the texture is obtained
-    from the window surface directly by calling its textureId()
-    function. But when the window surface is not an OpenGL one, the
-    static function createTexture() is called with the window
-    surface's \l {QImage} {image} to copy that image into an OpenGL
-    texture. This is done with the EGL functions glTexImage2D() and
-    glTexSubImage2D(). createTexture() is another function that
-    should be understandable for exsperienced OpenGL users, so it is
-    not shown or explained further here.
-
-    The two implementations of \l {QScreen::}{createSurface()} are for
-    instantiating new window surfaces. The overloading with the widget 
-    parameter is called in the client.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 14
-
-    If the parameter is an \l {QGLWidget} {OpenGL widget}, or, when it
-    isn't an OpenGL widget but its size is no bigger than 256 x 256,
-    we instantiate our subclass QAhiGLWindowSurface.  Otherwise, we
-    instantiate a QWSWindowSurface. The size contraint is a
-    limitation of the OpenGL ES libraries we are using for our ATI
-    device.
-
-    Note the test at the top of the function asking if our application
-    process is the \l {QApplication::GuiServer} {server}.  We only
-    create instances of QAhiGLWindowSurface if our client is in the
-    server process. This is because of an implementation restriction
-    required by the OpenGL library used in the example. They only
-    support use of OpenGL in the server process. Hence a client can
-    use the QAhiGLWindowSurface if the client is in the server
-    process.
-
-    The other overloading of createSurface() is called by the
-    server to create a window surface that will hold a copy of a
-    client side window surface.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 15
-
-    This overloading accepts a QString parameter identifying the type
-    of window surface to instantiate. QAhiGLWindowSurface is
-    instantiated if the parameter is \c ahigl. Otherwise, a normal
-    QWSWindowSurface is instantiated. The client's window surface
-    communicates its image data to the server's window surface through
-    shared memory.
-
-    The implementation of \l {QScreen::}{setMode()}, is a stub in this
-    example. It would normally reset the frame buffer's resolution.
-    Its parameters are the \e width, \e height, and the bit \e depth
-    for the frame buffer's new resolution. If you implement setMode()
-    in your screen driver, remember that it must emit a signal to warn
-    other applications to redraw their frame buffers with the new
-    resolution.  There is no significance to setMode() not being
-    implemented in this example. It simply wasn't implemented.
-    However, the stub had to be included because QScreen declares
-    setMode() to be pure virtual.
-
-    Before the application exits, the server will call \l {QScreen::}
-    {shutdownDevice()} to release the hardware resources. This is also
-    done using EGL library functions.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qscreenahigl_qws.cpp 9
-
-    The server will also call \l {QScreen::}{disconnect()}, but this
-    function is only a stub in this example.
-
-    \section2 The window Surface Class Implementations    
-
-    QAhiGLScreen creates instances of QAhiGLWindowSurface in its two
-    createSurface() functions, and there are two constructors for
-    QAhiGLWindowSurface that correspond to these two versions of
-    createSurface(). The constructor accepting a \l {QWidget} {widget}
-    parameter is called by the client side version of createSurface(),
-    and the constructor without the \l {QWidget} {widget} parameter is
-    called by the server side version. There will be a window surface
-    constructed on the server side for each one constructed on the
-    client side.
-

-    \codeline
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qwindowsurface_ahigl.cpp 2
-
-    The constructors create an instance of QAhiGLWindowSurfacePrivate,
-    the private implementation class, which contains all the state
-    variables for QAhiGLWindowSurface. The client side constructor
-    also creates an instance of QWSGLPaintDevice, the OpenGL paint
-    device, for return by \l {QWSWindowSurface::} {paintDevice()}.
-    This ensures that all \l {QPainter}s used on this surface will use
-    an OpenGL enabled QPaintEngine. It is a bit of jiggery pokery,
-    which is required because \l {QWSWindowSurface::} {paintDevice()}
-    is declared pure virtual. Normally, the client side constructor
-    will be called with an \l {QGLWidget}{OpenGL widget}, which has
-    its own \l {QWidget::} {paintEngine()} function that returns the
-    global static OpenGL paint engine, but because the constructor
-    also accepts a normal \l {QWidget}{widget}, it must be able to
-    find the OpenGL paint engine in that case as well, so since \l
-    {QWSWindowSurface::} {paintDevice()} must be implemented anyway,
-    the constructor creates an instance of QWSGLPaintDevice, which can
-    always return the global static pointer to QOpenGLPaintEngine.
-
-    The OpenGL library implementation used for this example only
-    supports one OpenGL context. This context is therefore shared
-    among the single instance of QAhiGLScreen and all instances of
-    QAhiGLWindowSurface. It is passed to both constructors.
-
-    This example uses the OpenGL frame buffer object extension, which
-    allows for accelerating OpenGL painting operations. Using this
-    OpenGL extension, painting operations are performed in a frame
-    buffer object, which QAhiGLScreen later uses to construct window
-    compositions on the screen. Allocation of the frame buffer object
-    is performed in \l {QWindowSurface::} {setGeometry()}. A safer way
-    to use this extension would be to first test to see if the
-    extension is supported by your OpenGL library, and use a different
-    approach if it is not.
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qwindowsurface_ahigl.cpp 3
-
-    Since there can be several instances of the QAhiGLWindowSurface, we need
-    to make sure that the correct framebuffer object is active before painting.
-    This is done by reimplementing \l QWindowSurface::beginPaint():
-
-    \snippet examples/qws/ahigl/qwindowsurface_ahigl.cpp 4
-
-    Finally we need to make sure that whenever a widget grows beyond the size
-    supported by this driver (256 x 256), the surface is deleted and a new
-    standard surface is created instead. This is handled by reimplementing
-    \l QWSWindowSurface::isValid():
