KFormat - Add new KFormat class

KLocale offers a number of extra formatting options not yet available
in Qt.  The KFormat class adds these options to KCoreAddons:

* formatByteSize()
* formatDuration()
* formatDecimalDuration()
* formatSpelloutDuration()
* formatRelativeDate()
* formatRelativeDateTime()

The KFormat class can be initialised with any QLocale to use in the
date and number formatting, or the default locale can be easily
accessed via KFormat():

  QString result = KFormat().formatDuration(1000);

----------------------------------------

There's a few things that need looking at here.  The main one is the translation stuff because I had to convert from using ki18n to tr and it may have lost something in the process.  In particular it looks like we'll actually need an en_US translation done to get the plurals right?  If we can't make tr() work for these we'll have to move the class into  k18n.  The second is to look at the formatting options provided and decide if they are actually useful to have.  The third is to confirm that the design is OK, I did think about making these simple static methods with an extra parm for QLocale, but I think this approach offers more future flexibility, and writing KFormat().formatDuration() is just as convenient as KFormat::formatDuration().
