Branding Calligra's QML UI as Calligra Active

[Mani N C]

Good to hear that Plasma Active wants to showcase Calligra.

If the Calligra Mobile doesn't break the desktop compilation, I would love
to see it in tools directory. As Inge mentioned we can move it to other
directory when Core/UI separation is done.

I am ok with the "Calligra Active" name +1 from me.  For Prefix, How about
CM<name> (CM - Calligra Mobile)

Br,
Mani
