KDE inclusion

[Michael Reeves]

Sorry meant this to go to everyone.

I did this based off what Ubuntu was using at the time.  The repo is here
https://bitbucket.org/reporter123/kdiff3. Master is currently set the
require CMake 3.1 but as of this moment that is just a number change. My
concern here was C++11 feature dectect which is not implemented in earlier
versions. Right now that is not critical. I was not aware of the parallel
effort at https://cgit.kde.org/scratch/thomasfischer/kdiff3.git/log/?h=kf5.
Command line parsing is fully operational on mine. To my knowledge it is
fully operational and I have been using it on my machine. I generally work
with two way comparisons.
