Shutting down extragear.kde.org, time for setting up redirects

Hi,

sloooowly moving, but here we are now with a complete list of redirect 
proposals, so people following old links to extragear.kde.org will not end up 
with unknown domain name or 404.

As before I propose to only do full redirects for pages of apps which are 
still developed. And have any other links just silently be redirected to 
kde.org/applications/.
((I personally think in a perfect world we also properly document phased out 
KDE software, so people can learn about the state instead of having to guess 
it is dead and gone. But we do not have a standard way yet, so creating a 
random graveyard here will not help maintenance.))

@Jeremy, in January you said you might be able to care for the redirects, are 
you still up for that?
Who else might be able to do that?

Find below the list of proposed redirects.
Please also check if I missed anything from the current extragear.kde.org 
website that would better also get a redirect.

Cheers
Friedrich
