Summary: Magic Lamp / Slide effects duration speed should
always be controlled by global option

SUMMARY
This bug is part of an ongoing effort to rethink the options available in
System Settings. The end goal is to consolidate some obscure options to make
Plasma feel simpler to use and improve the user experience. I was advised to
make individual bug reports with my suggestions. More details with all the
suggestions and talking points can be seen in this shared document:

-------
The Magic Lamp / Slide effects offer the option of changing the animation speed
independently of the global option. This creates an inconsistency in the user
experience because not all effects have that setting. While one might think
that that means all effects should also have that option, having too much
granularity in the settings can create an inconsistent experience and make
Plasma feel more difficult to use, while also increasing a higher number of
untested configurations and bugs. I propose removing those options and only
allowing users to control the animation speed globally. Removing it also means
removing the entire settings window for the Magic Lamp, thus effectively
simplifying System Settings a bit more.
