applets/batterymonitor: Make active while charging again

For Plasma 6, we changed this widget to become passive while plugged in but charging. This can cause you to lose track of the charge level during the time before the device is fully charged, and potentially make bad decisions as a result of it (e.g. unplug your laptop and bring it with you when it really needs more time to charge).

It hasn't been the most popular change of Plasma 6. It's not a bad idea in general, but I feel like it's not the best behavior to apply to everyone.

Let's bring back the old behavior. The widget already becomes passive when fully charged, which should be space-saving enough.
