Review request for Plasma.


Repository: plasma-workspace


Description
-------

This is still nowhere near final mergeability, but rather a request for comments for early stages ;)

So, what does an application that uses stuff from l&f needs?
* open the proper l&f package, as configured
* fetch files from it
* use files of the default one if the provided one is incomplete
* monitor for theme changes and if necessary reload the qml
* some applications may even want to have an optional local config that overrides it, like the splash, but is out of scope of a central management
 
the branch uses a little class that does all of the above (minus the last point) and uses it for now in the splash screen
For now it would just be statically linked into users, since they should be all in plasma-framework for now (of course not optimal)

*maybe* is stuff for libplasmaquick, but that library since locks a release of p-f with the same release of users of it, should probably me made public or else, so I'm a bit hesitant to add further stuff into it.
