REVISION SUMMARY
  ...Initial support for peripheral battery notifications

  [Profiles KCM] Add spinbox for changing the low peripheral battery threshold
  
  Notify about low peripheral devices on startup similar to what we do with the laptop battery
  
  Improve wording of notifications
  
  Always show the name of the device. It might by cryptic, so we'll have to
  monitor how that turns out. In any case the affected device type (mouse, keyboard, ...)
  is indicated by both the icon and the notification body text.
  
  Remove m_batteriesUdi QStringList
  
  We can just use the keys of m_batteriesPercent instead like
  we already do for peripheral devices
  
  Merge branch 'broulik/notifyPeripherals' of git://anongit.kde.org/powerdevil into broulik/notifyPeripherals
  
  Notify about low peripherals when plugging them in
  
  Unfortunately my mouse reports info only periodically, so when plugging
  it in it is always "not present" and 0%, so it doesn't show for me.
  Also, when the device is really empty (so won't work) it won't show
  anything either because it won't be "present". Oh, well...

TEST PLAN
  So far I have only tested this with my mouse on a desktop computer,
  starting kded5 brings the notification. Needs more testing with a laptop so it
  didn't break the default battery handling
