this is the little part in plasma-framework for the applet alternatives chooser.
works together the branch mart/alternativesConfig of plasma-workspace and plsma-desktop.
for how it looks and why, see the vdg forum thread:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=122067&p=315919#p315919
still possible problems:
I'm not sure about using a new desktop file entry X-Plasma-Provides, maybe Categories could be enough, but it may produce many false positives as well

Use FrameSVG as 9 tiles instead of uploading a big texture of the finished frame each time.
This also saves the cache being populated with full created frames in different sizes; which end up taking up space in the disk and shared memory cache as well as the GPU memory.
A code path falls back to the original uploading the entire texture if obscure settings are used, i.e overlay.
Benchmarks:
apitrace when resizing a frame goes from an average of 7.6ms per frame of CPU time just for the swizzling and uploading to 1.4ms
GPU time also drops from 40us to 10us
Themes will need to remove stretch-borders (when we gain nothing from stretching; i.e Breeze) to get the most out of it.

It's unreasonable to use private API, so make everything public API so that
every user of FrameSvg have as much features exposed as possible.

Given the FrameData and the total size, we get to know where is the
contents going to be and gives us the information to extrapolate where to
put all the borders and corners.

Create a paintBorder function that can generically paint framesvg borders.
This helps us reduce duplicated code as well as improving the readability
of the code.

Make sure AppletPrivate::uiReady is set in applet_p.cpp when we report that
the ui is ready.
Make sure that if we loop through all the containments and they're all
ready, we emit that it's done.
So far, Corona::startupCompleted was never emitted.

TimeTracker is a small class that keeps track of an object the changes in
the properties of an object and relates them to a point in time. This way
we can see how things change and react to each other. Then, this information
is exported into a json file to analyze.

Applet::immutability() is the maximum between internal applet immutability
and the immutability of its containment.
so not set higher immutability in the internal member of Applet
or the applet will not be able to be unlocked properly
