Review request for Plasma.


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

So far we had a (commented out) entry that was called `Remove <application package>` that would open the configured application.

* Instead of looking up the service files in PackageKit, it does so on AppStream, allowing for a faster and sync approach.
* Renames the action to `Open <application name>`.
* Uses `appstream://` URI scheme, allowing for the system to decide which application handles it rather than an awkward configuration entry.
* Drops PackageKit-Qt opcional dependency, adds a required AppstreamQt dependency instead.

This also means that applications coming from other sources than the packaging system (i.e. Snappy, Flatpak or AppImage) would also be supported, as long as it's supported by the package manager.
