Review request for Dolphin.


Changes
-------

@Phil:
Please test it and give some feedback if it works or not ;)
With Frank's help (he has always great ideas/clues!) I have found a way to fix this problem with only a few lines of code.
It should also be relatively resource-efficient, only one dir to check.

@Frank:
Thanks for the great hint!!! :) http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/4.8/qdir.html#canonicalPath

Description
-------

Added a Dropbox version control plugin for Dolphin.

This Dropbox plugin is based on the work of:
Sergei Stolyarovs - https://bitbucket.org/cancel/dolphin-dropbox-plugin
Thomas Richards - http://trichard-kde.blogspot.co.at/2010/12/introducing-dropbox-integration-for.html

What I have done:
- Ported the old source code to the newer KVersionControlPlugin2 interface
- Use the Dropbox client to form the context menu more dynamically
  (If the Dropbox guys add a new feature to their client, Dolphin can make use of it automatically)
- Fixed a crash (Dolphin-4.8.2 segfaults when a file with special characters is present)
- Replaced the item version changed timer with a file system watcher -> No useless updates every 10 seconds and immediate update on real changes
- A lot of code/coding style related changes

I think that this plugin is small enough to include it into the official Dolphin-plugins collection. ;)
