First release since derived from FramelessHelper

Hi, I'm @wangwenx190 (Yuhang Zhao), author of FramelessHelper. A few weeks ago, @SineStriker and I were brain storming the contents of the next major version of FramelessHelper, that is, FramelessHelper V3. But FramelessHelper is becoming more and more complicated that we all feel very hard to maintain. But since there have been quite some users already, it's also not easy to do large refactorings. In the end we decided to create a new repo to do what we can't easily do in FramelessHelper, that is, the QWindowKit. In this brand new repository, we removed everything that a window customization framework doesn't need, and redesigned the whole structure of the library. And we also found and fixed some small but annoying bugs during the migration process, especially the long-standing top window frame border issue on Windows 10 (thanks to @SineStriker 's great effort!). Based on FramelessHelper's great experience, we can promise you QWindowKit is the best open source Qt window customizaion framework ever (so far). Last but not least, I really would like to thank @SineStriker for his time and effort. This repository is mostly his work and I only provided some limited technical support. There won't be such great repo without @SineStriker .

X11 experts wanted!

Currently QWindowKit doesn't have native support on Linux platform due to we don't have much knowledge about X11. Please help us if you are good at it!
