kdepim-runtime-17.04.0 - Gmail login hotfix

[Daniel Vrátil]

Hi packagers,

one more thing regarding kdepim-runtime and Gmail: please make sure to include 
libxkdeoauth2.so in your *main* package (not in -devel). It's not enough to 
only ship the soversioned files (libxkdeoauth2.so.3 and libxkdeoauth2.so.
3.0.0). - this is a SASL2 plugin and SASL2 only looks for "*.so" names, so if 
libxkdeoauth2.so is missing, SASL2 won't load the plugin and Gmail login won't 
work.

Thanks,
Dan
