REVISION SUMMARY
  ksysguardd, whilst good, has a few problems
  
  The code is a bit archaic, it relies on a polling API, which is overhead
  for infrequently changed values or where setting up a monitor has a big
  overhead.
  
  It also moves the problem of translations into the daemon, allowing for
  better extensibility without requiring client side changes.
  
  The daemon is based around a typical OO model. Plugins have lists of
  objects, those objects have properties using common Qt patterns. A
  property also has various metadata.
  
  For full compatibility ksgrd is wrapped and the plan is to land with the
  bridge, then slowly land patches that use the new API natively.
  
  An nvidia plugin is also added to show the API being used in another
  format.
  
  This is all consumed by the new API posted in D28141 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D28141>

TEST PLAN
  Unit test
  Used with the new library to create a new suite of applet (upcoming patch)
  Used in a ported ksysguard

REPOSITORY
  R106 KSysguard

BRANCH
  master
