Review request for Dolphin and KDE Frameworks.


Changes
-------

Submitted with commit d48b73349241a46ad70cac5a5ce3e11f641650af by Elvis Angelaccio to branch master.


Repository: dolphin


Description
-------

Dolphin currently doesn't support JSON-only KFileItemAction plugins (without a .desktop file).
This patch adds support for them both in the context menu and in the settings dialog (Services pane).

Since a plugin can have both a .desktop file and JSON metadata (as is the the case for `kactivitymanagerd_fileitem_linking_plugin`), we need to be sure to not add twice the plugin in the context menu. A QSet is used to prevent this issue.

Open question: do we want to install these json-only plugins in a specific subdirectory of `$QT_PLUGIN_PATH`? Like `$QT_PLUGIN_PATH/kf5/kio` or something else? This way we could tell Dolphin to only look for plugins within that subfolder (instead of checking every plugin in `$QT_PLUGIN_PATH`).

Testing
-------

* Build Ark master after commit c369264d6c
* Make sure that the Compress and Extract service menus are shown
* Make sure that the menus above can be enabled/disabled in the Services pane in the settings
* Make sure that `kactivitymanagerd_fileitem_linking_plugin` is not shown twice in the context menu


Thanks,

Elvis Angelaccio
