rescan db for each new DK version

[Maik Qualmann]

digiKam does not rescan the collection after an update. Due to a change to the 
behavior of sidecars through a metadata option in the current digiKam version, 
files containing sidecars may have been rescanned.
Do you use sidecars? Do you possibly use tools that monitor the installation 
and delete the database files when uninstalling?
