The rationale is explained in https://planet.kde.org/friedrich-kossebau-2023-06-28-include-also-moc-files-of-headers/
In case of KDEConnect, it impressively speeds up compilation. Before it
took 390 seconds on a clean build and with this change it took 330 seconds.
This is due to the mocs_compilation having to include the header files
and thus all their headers. Due to the lots of small plugins we have,
this means that the same headers must be compiled plenty of times.
When we include the moc files directly in the C++ file, they are already
available.
By removing the postfix we consistently use, we get exactly the same string as before
However, all our pluginId logic is now done as part of the buildsystem.
Before, they were in the JSON metadata, the buildsystem and the string constructor parameter
KPluginFactory has the KPluginMetaData object in any case, do using it
doesn't create any overhead.
This way we catch missing methods/mismatching arguments at compile and
not at runtime.
This fixes some Qt6 regressions due to the removal of deprecated methods.
We were using the plugin infrastructure to tell the name of the plugin
we were configuring.
Since this doesn't make any sense, just let the kcms themselves define
where they want their settings to be.
This fixes a regression from when we ported away from using KService to
list them. e365e1b35c
Summary:
Change all member variables to the form m_fooBar because it is the preferred form in Qt (it was half and half between this and mFooBar, and a minority didn't have anything).
Place all references and pointers on the side of the type since it is the majority.
Basically:
- mFoo -> m_foo
- foo -> m_foo (if it is a member variable)
- Type &ref -> Type& ref
- Type *ptr -> Type* ptr

Centralizing the plugins' config will ensure that all the plugins store it
the same way (ie: not in random files scattered around, like until now).
The base KCM class, together with the already existing base plugin class,
will give easy access to all the plugins to this centralized config. Also,
now the settings are not shared across devices (that is: every device can
have different config for a same plugin).
Note: This commit requires KCMUtils 5.9

Ported using KDELibs4Support, for a smaller delta, so we can keep
developing on master until we decide not to.
At the moment, it builds and installs but tests don't pass because
of a QCA2 initialization problem I didn't manage to debug yet.
