Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Repository: kcoreaddons


Description
-------

Add KPluginMetaData::translators() and KAboutPerson::fromJson()

Plugins could have a list of translators in KDE4 through KAboutData so
this commit restores this for KF5. As a side effect of now having
authors() and translators() returning a list of KAboutPerson I also
added KAboutPerson::fromJSON() as publc function but I can make that
internal API instead if it's preferred.

--- 

Add KPluginMetaData::copyrightText(), extraInformation() and otherContributors()

Now KPluginMetaData has well defined keys for all the information used
by KAboutData. This means we can easily create KAboutData objects from
a KPluginMetaData object e.g. for use in an KAboutApplicationDialog.
For example Okular uses this to display information about generator that
is being used for the current document.

---

Add KAboutData::fromPluginMetaData(const KPluginMetaData &plugin)

This is useful e.g. to create an KAboutApplicationDialog for plugins
