Atm it's done the same way all our other variables including our API is done what means QWidget's are a hard requirement and logic is mixed with UI. What we would do ideally is to move *ALL* the UI things into plugins that are separated from the variable-plugin (kcm-like) and then depending on the UI either the QWidget-plugins are loaded or not. But that is out-of-scope of the work done in this branch and I would prefer not to raise the requirement to finally land that branch to master without really good reasons. The branch already produces additional work-time on my end that is not required when landed into master what should be done asap imho before a few more months are needed for the next iteration.

Meanwhile done with commit f7950678091a4753d9ee48f43772641cbaba800c.

Ideally I would also move the other format (e.g. formatDate, formatTime, etc.) methods from the plugin to the KoOdfNumberStyles class to have it reusable (we at least need formatDate and KoOdfNumberStyles also in the DateVariable later).

> * the same logic is applied to Calligra Words, Stage and Tables what means all 3 of them support now loading and saving of user defined variables. Editing can be done direct in the Insert=>Variable=>Custom (should we better rename it to "User defined" rather then "Custom"?) dialog what is inline with how it can be done in OO.org/LO.
