Replacing Xesam runner with Nepomuk runner

As mentioned in my other email I implemented a Nepomuk search runner. It is 
currently in playground/base/nepomuk-kde/krunner/search in case you want to 
give it a spin.
I propose to replace the Xesam runner in kdebase with my nepomuk runner. Why?

1. The Xesam runner does not work since we have no Xesam in KDE. 
2. The Xesam runner would never handle tags and such.
3. The Xesam runner does not support relevance (always 1) and uses the same 
icon for each result.

Kevin (who wrote the Xesam runner) agrees with me on this. Now the only 
trouble is that I forgot to add the runner to the 4.2 feature list. I hope 
that we could make an exception here and see the Nepomuk runner as a fix to 
the Xesam runner. ;)

Cheers,
Sebastian
