`kde4-config --types`, or the kstandarddirs documentation.

Although of course not all resource types are covered by ksycoca, so it's
really just a subset of these.

Let's see -- and I'll add this to the docu:
apps, services, servicetypes, xdgdata-mime.

(I just found out that the signal is ever emitted with xdgdata-apps,
changes there are emitted as "apps", since the factory for
apps desktop files handles the desktop files from xdgdata-apps
indirectly. But it doesn't seem wise to rely on that, though, seems
like an implementation detail, so let's say that xdgdata-apps could
also be emitted, in theory). Or maybe in KDE5 we'll remove "apps"
(the old applnk folder) and call xdgdata-apps simply "apps" :-)
