Restore the Web Archiver, using wget(1) to do the work

Jonathan Marten requested to merge marten/konqueror:webarchiver-new into master

Restore the Web Archiver plugin, but instead of relying on KHTML and DOM access use wget(1) to do the work. The Konqueror plugin just passes the page URL to a program 'kcreatewebarchive', which can also be run standalone. This has a GUI for selecting files and options, and then calls the command to do the downloading and conversion work. The archive can be saved in standard web archive (.war) format, as a tar or zip file, or just left as a directory.

The thumbnailer can use either WebEngine (the default) or optionally WebKit (deprecated but more lightweight) to render thumbnails of web archives and also HTML files.
