How to share KoUnit?

[Adam Pigg]

I think KoPageformat can be replaced with some Qt funtionality, qpagesize was added in 5.3.

Kodpi is a very small wrapper to get the spirit, so we could get rid of it in reports of needed, or remove the bits we don't use.

I'd say, keep a copy until at least 3.0 is done. Before that, I really 
wouldn't like to start splitting out libraries from the git repo. It's 
going to be hard enough already to make the kf5 port work out.
