Implement KPluginSelector replacement not based around KPluginInfo

Alexander Lohnau requested to merge work/kpluginselector_kpluginmetadata_replacement into master

This is a KPluginMetaData based replacement for KPluginSelector, which internally uses the KPluginModel to allow the creation of a QML variant.

This way consumers can fully port away from KPluginInfo in their code. By using KServiceTypeTrader for the deprecated code path we can keep existing KCMs of plugins working. In case of KRunner this would even be third party KCMs.

This work is based on the initial draft of Nicolas Fella.
