New KPluginSelector. Finished.

Hi all,

I have finished porting the KPluginSelector to Goya. Lots of workarounds 
removed, what results in a much better understandable code. It now sorts 
plugins alphabetically, as well as let you filter through the search box.

Filtering is a _must_ in places where lots of plugins were shown (for example 
on the KWin kcm where you can enable/disable effects). Sorting is also nice 
for finding them faster.

This KPluginSelector works as the older one (no behavioral changes). I also 
made rows have less height, as lots of users requested.

I can wait to commit this for 4.2 (I have all committed locally with git, so I 
have a good porting history), but if you request me to explicitly commit it 
before the tagging is done, I will do it.

The patch is at 
http://media.ereslibre.es/2008/05/kdelibs-kpluginselector.diff. When Goya is 
in (tomorrow probably), you can apply it and compile it.
