D22191: Implement syncing of theme preferences between SDDM and Plasma

[Filip Fila]

  In general we do need an additional message box which says sync successful or failed. And then in the case of failure it should state what failed.
  
  But as far as I can tell the operations won't fail. They're all conditional on values being existent or not and if things aren't in order they won't get carried out.
  
  I agree with points 2 and 3 as well, but would ask if we could implement it all gradually as working with multiple branches is already getting a bit clumsy.
  
  Implementation wise, point 2 is something Plasma elders would understand better atm.
  
  As for point 3, I've looked it additionally and it does complicate things but might be doable. The question is how to interact with the user. We could copy everything to a global directory and then remove it from the user directory (to avoid duplicates in kcms). What sucks is that users could no longer easily remove these theme files via kcms. So what if we the remove button worked with globally installed? Currently I'm not sure of the repercussions for stuff installed via package manager.
