encryption/sqlcipher support (4.8 branch)

[Christian Dávid]

Hi Dieter,

as author of the sqlcipher plugin I can confirm your finding, that it is not involved in fedora bug 1423441.

The sqlcipher qt-plugin is only needed if you want to encrypt SQLite database files. However, I do not know if anybody ever really used it. It is more a proof-of-concept. Btw. the plugin it totally independent from KMyMoney and requires Qt and Sqlcipher only.

Best
Christian
