ExpandableListItem: deprecate contextmenu and allow actions+custom view

Nate Graham requested to merge ngraham/plasma-framework:allow-ExpandableListItem-to-simultaneously-show-actions-as-well-as-custom-content into master

The purpose of this component is to provide visible, left-click/touch-friendly access to actions contextually relevant to an item. Allowing items to define context menus was a mistake, as the existing paradigm of expanding the item to show actions provides the same functionality in a more consistent and user-friendly way that stays truer to the component's design.

This commit deprecates the contextMenu property and allows contextual items to be defined as well as custom context views; when both are defined, actions are simply shown above the custom view.

There are no breaking API or ABI changes, and no visual changes to existing applets that don't define both a contextual actions lists and a custom context menu.
