D26038: feat(kcm): add option for auto rotation

[seb sasch]

  Just FYI, this works great ;)
  
  Tested on Lenovo Yoga 900s Convertibele ( neon-developer-20200504-2356 ):
  
  - sensor is recognized & autorotation is available in settings
  - rotating changes to the correct mapped coordinates in every rotation for the touchscreen
  - it correctly uses some "slack", which means it doesn't rotate directly if the convertible is only moved some milimeters
  - it rotates directly from -180° to 0°, animations are quick & smooth, opened windows are always positioned correctly
  
  Only thing I recognized is that you have to deselect "tablet mode" in settings to make the rotation work. If the convertible is folded up, it's not recognized as "tablet / tent mode" and I don't know how to switch to tablet mode in KDE (also this would have the issue that e.g. the onscreen keyboard in not working in GTK applications like FF, but that's a different story).
  
  Overall these patches are absolutely awesome. Together with fractional scaling, this made KDE finally feature par with Gnome (from a non-technical user perspective) ;)
