D20169: Add profile support interface for TerminalInterface

[Pino Toscano]

pino added a comment.


  General notes on the API (not a konsole developer though):
  
  - an abstract virtual destructor is needed
  - in kdelibs/kf5 lingo, the "get" as prefix of API getters is generally not used
  - `setCurrentProfile` instead of `changeCurrentProfile`? the latter makes me think it does changes to the current profile, rather than setting another profile as current
  - wrt `changeCurrentProfile`: what will it do if the specified profile name does not exist? should the API return true/false to indicate the switch actually succeeded?
  - wrt `getProfilePath`: what if an application does not store a profile as single filename, for example as directory, or even stored e.g. in a DB? maybe it would be better to have this as property of a profile
  - is a `setProfileProperty` worth having?
  - is an API to list the available properties worth having?
  
  Also: this file is still not installed, so it cannot be used. Maybe just add the new interface to the existing `kde_terminal_interface.h`?

either put the right filename, or just remove (IMHO better)

this is certainly yours now

I'd go with `KPARTS_etc` (instead of `KDELIBS_etc`)
