Review request for Plasma.


Repository: plasma-framework


Description
-------

Since the tool in davidedmundson/plasmoidloader was discarded, I've been thinking we need a way to tell how things are run in the plasma shell. The argument was that we need to run the plasmoids in a containment, so escentially the only way to get it is doing it within the plasmashell.

What I did here is to create a small class that keeps track of an object the changes in the properties and relates them to a point in time. This way we can see how things change and react to each other. Then, this information is outputted in a json file to analyze.

Take this review request as a request for comments, there's many things we can add there.

Testing
-------

Runs fine.

Here I'm attaching an example that portraits how the pager plasmoid changes status many times for no apparent reason and how I'm not ever getting the isUiReady(true).
