Port kcminit loading away from KServiceTypeTrader

Alexander Lohnau requested to merge work/kcm_init_load_without_kservicetypetrader into master

As we have discussed, this mechanism is considered Plasma-internal, meaning that we don't have to keep the KServiceTypeTrader stuff around.

To avoid duplicating the KCMs or having to split the kcminit stuff in a separate binary, symlinks are used to query the available plugins. By having a unified "kcminit" symbol for the function which will get called, we can drop the need for the custom property.

Task: https://phabricator.kde.org/T14335

Prequisite for using only embedded json metadata for the KCMs, see https://phabricator.kde.org/T14517

Draft MR for now, since all the other kcminit providers will need to be ported too.
