As discussed with Albert, move the population of capabilities into the
identity package, making them static along the execution of the link.
When we receive the identityPackage, we collect the plugins we can use with
the device and stick to those. This should simplify the implementation and
remove the possibility to lose packages if packages are received before the
capabilities are processed in the former approach.

At the moment, we were keeping the connection alive with every reachable
device. While this works optimally for most use-cases, on networks with
several devices with KDE Connect, the amount of connections grows
exponentially.

CCBUG: 352424
Add API to call random public plugin methods
qdbusxml2cpp is not generating the Q_PROPERTY attribute. For now [1], add
it ourselves by addding a proxy signal.

Using currentChanged signal it is now possible to select devices
with keyboard.
It also no longer refreshes plugin info when clicking on already
selected device.

Uses KPluginLoader+KPluginMetadata instead.
Describes plugins in json instead of desktop files. These desktop files are
then embedded into the .so file. All the plugins will be in a kdeconnect/
directory, and those will be the ones to look for.
Note it doesn't drop the KService dependency as KIOCore is a KDE Connect
dependency as well.

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

Benefits:
- We had config files in different paths, now they will be centralized.
- Daemon, LanLinkProvider and NetworkPackage depend only on Qt now.
- KConfig is accessed with strings as keys, where a typo can go unnoticed.
- Daemon is now thinner, as it doesn't need to initialize config values.
- QCA::Initializer is in a single place now (was in Daemon and Plugin).
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.
