krdp streams every screen, so the VNC screen is now the primary's size and the
FreeRDP window is shifted so the primary fills it (ft-layout remote-view gives
the offset). It resizes and reconnects when the layout changes. With remote
access on, KWin's D-Bus screenshot interface is open too, for scripts that look
at the screens without the headset.

(cherry picked from commit 6f5a23c80f2ecd26e6a96c86b102be36d518ee25)
Floating windows join the keyboard and the hand cutouts. Floating panels
don't get cutouts yet: their panel and popups show crops of the client
buffer (texture bounds), which the side-by-side cutout buffer doesn't
match. KWin gets both the spare outputs and our input method, and the
pointer helper's frametop. prefix already covers the float panels.

Fixes#7: SteamVR's keyboard never came up for the desktop's apps, and
opening it for our panels doesn't work well on the Frame (it's Steam's own
panel, mounted in the dashboard's scene, it follows the laser between
panels, and it takes the controllers over to SteamVR's laser).
- KWin starts input/ft-textinput as the desktop's input method. It tells
the input relay when a text field gains or loses focus, and the relay
asks ft-screens to open or close the keyboard. The session drops the
QT_IM_MODULE=xim and GTK_IM_MODULE=xim that the gamescope session sets,
or Qt and GTK apps never report text fields.
- The keyboard is ft-screens' own panel (screens/keyboard.cpp): a US laptop
layout, typed with a controller's laser or the 3D mouse. It opens 0.7 m
in front of you, below your eyes and facing you. It has a grab bar to
move it, a Close key, latching Shift, Ctrl and Alt, and repeat on a held
key. It's drawn into shared DMA-BUFs, so it doesn't flicker. Its keys
reach the focused screen as key presses, so every app takes them.
- It steps aside while the Steam menu or Steam's own keyboard is up and
comes back after. A layout reset closes it, and it doesn't open without
a head pose.
- Frametop Input Settings has a Keyboard page: open it for every text
field, only while no keyboard is connected (the default), only from a
mapped button (the new Open/close keyboard action, for mice and
controllers), or never. A switch keeps it open until you close it.
- The pointer helper treats every frametop.* overlay as a real panel. The
keyboard's shared texture reports 0x0 like SteamVR's scene-graph
controls, and the helper had given it their wide catch radius.

ft-screens makes a panel for each spare output (frametop.float.N), hidden
until ft-floatd floats a window on it. The panel shows only the window's
rectangle of the buffer at the density of the screen it came from, its
popups and dialogs get small panels over it, pressing its title bar
carries it while KWin's pointer stays put, the corner tab resizes the
window in pixels, and two more buttons close it and put it back on the
desktop. The session adds FLOAT_SLOTS spare outputs to KWin and starts
ft-floatd; ft-layout arranges only the screens' outputs, and the pointer
helper treats the new panels like screens. Not yet tried in the headset.

The file picker hands a sandboxed app the host path of the document
portal, which the desktop's private runtime directory moves to
$runtime/doc. Inside the sandbox that path is an empty private folder,
so Brave finished downloads into it and they were lost when the session
cleaned up. Link it to /run/flatpak/doc in each installed app's
runtime folder before Plasma starts.

install.sh: a comment with an apostrophe inside a single-quoted command
(from the distrobox pin) ended the quote and broke the script at step 1.
The VR launcher started the desktop with the Steam client's environment,
including LD_LIBRARY_PATH to Steam's runtime, whose libavcodec has no
H.264 decoder: VLC in the desktop couldn't play most videos. The session
script now drops the client's variables before starting anything, so apps
use the system's libraries and codecs.
The README and the installer now recommend setting Steam's Sleep after
(When Plugged In and Idle) to Never; Steam suspends the Frame after an
hour otherwise, even while charging.

With the pointer released, the helper still listed overlays by running
vrcmd every second, a new SteamVR client each time, which kept SteamVR
from going to standby. The list now pauses while the pointer is off.
Starting the dev container from one of our services made that service own
it, so stopping the service stopped the container and the desktop's
compositor with it. scripts/container-up.sh starts the container in a
systemd scope of its own before every distrobox enter.

Several KDE Plasma screens floating in SteamVR, each a real monitor of any
resolution and shape, shown by our own compositor (ft-screens), with a
layout, wrist pinning, and visibility modes; a Bluetooth mouse that drives
all of SteamVR as a room-anchored 3D pointer (input relay, ft-pointer
helper, ft_pointer SteamVR driver); two settings apps; and Bluetooth LE
fixes. Installs on the headset with ./install.sh.
