In theory we support Qt 5.6 (because of SailfishOS) but in practice we are not checking that in the CI so probably we broke the compatibility long ago. Also, I don't think anyone is using this code in SailfishOS, so we can greatly simplify the code by requiring Qt 5.15 or later.
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

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.

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.

Only lets the plugins that support something offered on the other end or
that offer something supported on the other end. If we don't have
information about the other device, we enable everything like we used to.
Also refactors a bit the plugin loader, to be able to provide information
step by step.
Currently it works, but we need support for capabilities at least on
Android to start taking good advantage of it.
