Use a global phonondevicesrc (4.4.5)

I work around this very annoying issue the following way:
1. Apply a patch to phonon/kded-module/phononserver.cpp so that a global (i.e.
/etc/kde4) phonondevicesrc gets loaded and its entries get registered.
2. On each desktop machine (we only support a handful of hardware series),
deploy a global phonondevicesrc that lists all that hardware's devices and
assign suitable preference values.

So, the user's individual phonondevicesrc remains essentially empty and the
annoying messages don't appear.

This original version of the patch dates back to 2011 and applies against 4.4.5
(the version in Debian squeeze).
