RFC: split platformtheme plugin from frameworkintegration and move to kde/workspace

[Martin Graesslin]

Hi all,

based on the discussion in [1] I propose that we split out platformtheme 
plugin from frameworkintegration into a dedicated repository and move it to 
kde/workspace to be released together with Plasma 5.6.

The main reasoning is that this plugin only gets loaded with env variables set 
in startkde anyway, which makes it a Plasma (Desktop) specific plugin. It's 
about integrating Qt application into Plasma and by that pretty useless for 
anything outside Plasma. Moving it to Plasma has in my opinion some advantages 
as we can better synchronize the release cycle and also allow us to depend on 
libraries provided by workspace [2].

I'd like to get some feedback on the proposal and if this gets positive 
feedback, I'll look into performing the split.

Best Regards
Martin Gräßlin

due to KWayland not yet being moved to frameworks.
