Review request for KDE Frameworks and Plasma.


Repository: plasma-framework


Description
-------

This patch removes dead code (ContainmentPackage), clean up DataEngine plugin loading and updates PackageStructure plugin loading.

Open question: which plugin loading mechanism is to be used:

a) KServiceTypeTrader
b) KPluginTrader
c) KPlugintTrader with a KServiceTypeTrade fallback
d) KServiceTypeTrader with a KPluginTrader fallback

DataEngine is currently (b), complete with a #define in the header that won't work as expected.
In this patch PackageStructure is moved to (b) as well. (There is an open RR for a correponding patch set in plasma-workspace).
Everything else seems to use (a).

Some plugins are not used in Plasma 5 due to changes with QML, and I guess that some of this confusion is due to the decreased use of some of these plugins. A decision needs to be made, however about what they should be now and in the future.
