Kickoff redesign: UI/UX discussion

Continued in !258 (merged)

Kickoff has been totally overhauled. 🎉 The code is very WIP and will be refactored

Right now I'd like feedback on functionality and UX.

Features/issues

New:

• Double pane UI
• Keyboard nav has been overhauled
• Power buttons are shown in a row
• Tons of spaghetti code including mutilation of app list into 2

What works:

• Navigation with keyboard + plus mouse
• Repositioning in different corners + RTL
• Search
• All the stuff that was in kickoff
• locales

How to test without compiling the desktop

1. rename X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name in .desktop to org.kde.plasma.kickoff2

2. kpackagetool5 -t Plasma/Applet --install /path/to/desktop/file/but/not/file/itself/

3. plasmoidviewer --applet org.kde.plasma.kickoff2 or add plasmoid to panel
