Git commit 354dab09d00eb28971df15749f49ad9434f825e8 by Luigi Toscano.
Committed on 01/12/2017 at 22:53.
Pushed by ltoscano into branch 'master'.

doc: cleanup few sentences and terminology

- improve the wording and the structure of few sentences (this manual
  still requires some love);
- clarify the meaning of KDE (mostly removing the usage of the word
  "KDE");
- remove the references to the svn IOslave part of kdesdk-kioslaves,
  which was not ported to Qt5 and removed.
