Qalculate plasmoid moved to kdereview

The problem with the i18nc calls should now be fixed in trunk. The applet 
should now also respect the locale settings for decimal separators.

At the moment the unit names are not translated, and I think libqalculate does 
not support this ...

Best regards,
Matteo
