Review request for Plasma.


Summary
-------

This patch fixes a few problems that occur when hotplugging screens:
1. On startup, existing containments are associated with a screen even if that screen does not exist.
   This causes a bug when a screen is added: since the containment already thinks it is associated with the new screen,
   it doesn't emit screenChanged() with the new screen, and doesn't get a view created for it.
   To fix this, I've made Containment::setScreen() set the new screen to -1 if it doesn't exist.
2. When a screen is removed, a containment will remain associated with the screen that it is on, causing the same bug
   as in 1 when the screen is added again.
   To fix this, I've made sure a containment's screen is set to -1 when its view is removed by PlasmaApp.
3. PlasmaApp tries to connect to a nonexistent signal in Kephal: screenAdded(int), the real one is screenAdded(Kephal::Screen*)

I'm not completely sure that this is the best way of fixing these problems, please correct me if it isn't.

Started plasma with and without an external screen and tried adding and removing it a few times.
