Packaging bangarang with "--touch" for Plasma Active

I've patched the .desktop files, but that "solution" but that kind of sucks of 
course because it's just one more little thing that can break. In the Balsam 
packages, you'll get the touch-friendly UI, though.

Best would be to check for KDE_PLASMA_COMPONENTS_PLATFORM=touch in the 
environment. This variable also makes the Plasma QML Components load the 
touch-optimized version, Bangarang could easily use this as well.

Cheers,
