KUnifiedPush in KDE Review

[Volker Krause]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to get KUnifiedPush (https://invent.kde.org/libraries/kunifiedpush) 
through KDE Review.

KUnifiedPush contains the client-side building blocks we need for making use of 
the UnifiedPush (https://unifiedpush.org/) push notification standard.

In particular there are three parts:
- an application-side client library
- a client-side push notification daemon ("distributor")
- a KCM to configure the preferred push provider and to see registered 
applications

We might want to split out the application-side part eventually, to not mix 
platform and framework parts, but that shouldn't affect the review.

Open issues:
- this is only working for the D-Bus part of the UnifiedPush spec, there is a 
start of an Android implementation but that is still non-functional if the app 
isn't running while the platform receives a push notification. That needs some 
understanding of both the Qt <-> Android integration and the Android 
mechanisms around broadcast receivers and the restrictions on those, help very 
much welcome.
- while this is generally functional and usable, actual deployment is also 
depending on having a default push provider (the server side part). There have 
been a few discussions at FOSDEM on how to progress that.

For more background, there has been an Akademy talk on this, and there is a 
writeup of that here: https://volkerkrause.eu/2022/11/12/kde-unifiedpush-push-notifications.html.

Thanks!
Volker
