KIO slave on hold feature:
- not needed anymore for passing to another application, but still needed for 
mimetypejob and in-process use in KParts
    
https://phabricator.kde.org/T14763
- Arch is not splitting dev packages, so dev tools are now relevant for co-
installability too
- so everything in KF should have a version number in the name
- there are calls to Plasma executables from KF though, that would fail with 
hard-coded version numbers, solvable by e.g. checking the running session 
version
- Plasma is not co-installable (and doesn't need to be), versioned executables 
in there are not necessary and only there for historic reasons
- for kcmshell co-installability and a version-less symlink might still be 
useful/necessary
- for cli-tools: generic name + versioned compat symlink

Config to state migration:
- how much of this can we done during KF5 updates? Ie losing which kind of 
state is acceptable? Window size/position: probably yes. Toolbar layouts: ?. 
Dock widget state: ?.
- Session management isn't affected 
Decision: it's ok to lose these things now, given that they won't be lost 
again in the 5->6 upgrade.
