Description
-------

As said in https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/121478/ I created a set of classes called "KMoreTools" that should help with "more tools" scenarios like this one. The corresponding wiki page is now https://community.kde.org/Scratchpad/KMoreToolsFramework. The code examples there are not up-to-date, the latest demo code is in this RR.

Though the classes around KMoreTools are designed so that it could be used in any KDE application, for this RR I added it to dolphin because SpaceInfoToolsMenu is a first use-case and proof-of-concept for KMoreTools.

>From the standpoint of SpaceInfoToolsMenu (dolphin/src/statusbar/spaceinfotoolsmenu.cpp) the following has improved:

- The code for creating the menu is shorter and better readable.
- Not-installed applications are now automatically placed to the new "More" submenu under the "Not installed" menu section.
- The "More" menu is not created when not needed (e.g. when all applications in the menu are installed)
- A new application was added: gparted, which is placed in the "More" submenu by default.
- For "Not installed" applications there is a menu item that opens the applications homepage in the default browser or a hint if no such information was provided.
- Slightly reduced amount of needed translations since the not-installed handling is done by KMoreTools

There are some discussion points like the installation location of the locally-copied desktop files (kmt-desktopfiles).

I propose to use KMoreTools in its current state (after review) as replacement for the current SpaceInfoTools implementation. If it is considered useful it could be somewhen moved to a common module
