It's not about plasmate being dead or alive TBH. It's about it being
the right thing to do:
- we keep installing headers and stuff
- we won't have a rather random distinction between generic and
non-generic plugins.

So in case someone wants to pick up plasmate, they'll see that:
- qmljs will be automatically available.
- kdeintegration plugin will be automatically available.
- they will get to hack on kdevelop as a whole rather than 3 tightly
connected repositories
- if things need to get upstreamed, the story gets much simpler

If nobody has reserves (looking at milian and kfunk) I can look into
how we can do this merge.
