Moving 'KStars' to extragear

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hello,

Go ahead, but we'd like to keep the current page https://edu.kde.org/kstars
since it's been used for KStars for the last 17 years. Also, all ours files
used for KNewStuff should not be changed or moved. Furthermore, any move
should not affect translations.

Regards,
Jasem
