Improve discrete GPU detection using switcheroo-control

Jan Drögehoff requested to merge sentry/kio:switcheroo-discrete-detection into master

Supersedes !1368 (closed)

Adds proper discrete GPU detection through switcheroo-control with a fallback to the old behavior (using the first non-default GPU).

I've been holding off on making this merge in the hopes that the switcheroo-control stuff would get merged, but since RedHat no longer wants to fund the project it appears to have gone unmaintained.
I hope opening up merge requests against consumers of switcheroo-control will get the ball rolling again, but in the mean time its available as a Fedora COPR and available on Bazzite by default.
