Lightroom to DigiKam: reading xmp files

[Gilles Caulier]

In bug 278935 <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278935> i proposed a
simple proof of concept patch to use LR sidecar naming scheme. It must work
to test an import of LR files in DK, but it's so far not enough, because it
will break backward compatibility with current sidecar naming scheme :
typically with this patch, all current XMP sidecar previously generated by
DK will be ignored.
