Single Qt codebase for kdeconnect

[Aleix Pol]

It's not a problem to use KF5 on android and on blackberry it's fine
as long as you use Qt5 (Blackberry itself uses Qt4, so it needs to be
bundled).

Please, let's not add FUD. It's definitely true that many of the
frameworks are not easily portable, but let's keep the technical
decisions clear.
