Review request for kdeconnect.


Changes
-------

Merged CustomLinkProvider into LanLinkProvider


Bugs: 326509
    http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326509


Repository: kdeconnect-android


Description
-------

Created new backend (CustomLinkBackend) which reads a list of user-specified IP addresses or host names and attempts to send KDE-connect packets to them, bypassing the autodiscovery which usually happens via broadcast packets. This allows for the pairing and communication between two devices which are connected via a gateway (or route) that does not allow broadcasts (e.g., OpenVPN in tunnel mode, separate networks). This patch also adds a new menu and activity for adding and removing IP addresses and hostnames (Custom device list).

This resolves [bug 326509](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326509).
