Change root of file view to root directory

Roman Lebedev requested to merge lebedev/elisa:fileview into master

Currently the "Files" view is rooted in ~, and you can not step out of that directory. This is problematic, because it hardcodes an assumption that everything everyone would want to access is within that directory.

It seems, KDirModel is designed that way, and it's not really a bug, that you can't step out of the "root". So i think it would be better to start in the true root, from where everything is accessible.

I suppose the alternative would be to start from the registered music directories, but then if i want to find a file that is currently outside of them, do i really have to register a new directory?

I'm open to suggestions, but the bug is a bit unfortunate, especially since amarok is not around anymore and elisa seems like the live alternative..
