Add bookmarks to the GPS dialogs

This patchs adds support for bookmarks in the GPS coordinate editor, the
correlator and the track list editor. Bookmarks are stored using the KDE
bookmark system as gps:-uris. Bookmarks are shared between all three dialogs.

Open questions:
- Where do we store the bookmark file? Currently under
KStandardDirs::locateLocal("data", "kipi/geobookmarks.xml"), so that it can be
accessed by all applications using kipi-plugins. If there are other
applications that would like to share the bookmarks with us, we could of course
change the location.
- When the user clicks "Add bookmark", a dialog is opened prompting for a name.
However, if the user clicks cancel, I see no way to actually cancel the
bookmarking request without an error-message due to the way the KDE-bookmark
system works.
- I tried to follow an upcoming RFC on geo:-uris, which requires that the
altitude should only be stored if it is actually known. However, we currently
have no way of specifying "no altitude". But we could add an "hasAltitude" flag
to the GPSDataContainer.
