kirigami-app-components in frameworks

[Marco Martin]

Yeah, some pieces of kirigami-addons should be migrated there (with
api review/eventual refactor in the process) and eventually those used
instead.

I'm not sure *all* of kirigami-addons makes sense there.. it will be
case by case.
but i envision it slowly marking pieces as deprecated with
replacements either in kirigami-app-components or in kirigami.
