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.
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

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).
