Being able to set the default values in the kcfg file and saving some lines of code in `part.cpp` is nice, but I still don't get the benefit of adding that boolean there: whereas before you only had to worry about the splitter sizes and calling `setSizes()` in some places, you now need to look at the boolean and from there decide whether to call `setSizes()` or `hide()`. What upside do you see in this approach?

I think it is more intuitive to have one Bool that stores whether or not to show the infopanel and one IntList that stores the sizes. The old approach was more convoluted, where one IntList stored the sizes for when the panel was shown (splitterSizesWithBothWidgets) and another IntList that stored the sizes when it was hidden (splitterSizes).

> The logic governing hiding/showing of the infopanel as well as storing/retrieving the size of the QSplitter was reworked into a more intuitive and simple approach. A configuration option "showInfoPanel" of type bool was added, which stores whether or not the infopanel should be shown. The option "splitterSizesWithBothWidgets" was removed, since it's no longer needed. Default values of "splitterSizes" are now set in the kcfg file, instead of in the C++ code.

The sizes of the splitter are also remembered after hiding/showing and after program restart. Deleting the splitterSizes line in ~/.config/arkrc and opening Ark results in the default sizes of 200/100 being used.
