new Plasma Quick module: PlasmaExtras

[Sebastian Kügler]

We have a new Plasma Quick Module: org.kde.plasma.extras :-)

Plasma Extras is a collection of Add-ons for Plasma that:

- provide higher level functionality and system integration
- capture appearance specific patterns by providing Look & Feel integration 
  components for a higher degree of consistency in layouts between apps

This is achieved by the following components:
	- ResourceInstance -- Plasma Quick way to export currently viewed document, 	
	  used for example in share like connect
  - Animations -- A set of pre-fab animations that can be used to animate 
		(dis)appearing, activation of items
	- Title, Heading, Paragraph -- Basic text layout components, derived from 	
		PlasmaComponents.Label
	- appbackgrounds image provider -- Loads backgrounds for use in apps
	- An App class which allows screen-adaptive implementation of workflows in 
		apps (experimental)

The code is in :
kde-runtime/plasma/declarativeimports/plasmaextracomponents

I've extended the Plasma components gallery in 
kde-runtime/plasma/declarativeimports/plasmaextracomponents
to also use these new classes.

I've adapted the qmlapigenerator.py script which we use to generate the API 
docs on api.kde.org to dive into subdirectories of kde-
runtime/plasma/declarativeimports in order to generate documentation for all 
the old and new classes.

Most of it has lived for some time already in plasma-
mobile/components/mobilecomponents, but has now moved to a more central place 
to allow more apps to use it. plasma-mobile has a branch 
sebas/plasmaextracomponents with everything ported to the new imports, to be 
merged shortly.

Enjoy!
