Summary: This will allow it to be used in the plasmoid and QML app via dbus.

Summary:
Telephony and SMS handling are quite distinct so they should be in separate plugins for better maintainability, given that @sredman has big plans with SMS.
This diff should be fully backwards compatible, but whether we really want to do that is up to discussion
Test Plan: Only supeficially tested. Receive an SMS (old way), Notification is shown

Summary:
The RemotecommandsPlugin lacks a graphical frontend.
Inlcudes a Dbus Interface for fetching the commands and a Model exposing them to QML. For this I oriented on the NotificatonsPlugin.
Test Plan:
Open command list in app, check available commands, trigger some. Do same for CLI.
Activate edit action, check KCM opening on remote device, add command, check for new command in list

Summary:
For real usecases of SMS support, we will almost always need access to the message history in some way
Specifically resolve T8338
Incidentally resolve T6651 since Telephony shall no longer create a notification
Test Plan:
Setup:
- Build corresponding Android-side diff (D11698)
- Build this diff
Step 1: Does anything at all work?
- Put a breakpoint in the handleBatchMessages method of the telephony plugin, ideally after constructing a Message object
- Use DBus to poke /modules/kdeconnect/devices/<deviceID>/telephony.requestAllConversations()
- Verify that the constructed Message is one you sent or received and that it is the most recent in the corresponding conversation
Step 2: DBus
- Open the Interface org.kde.kdeconnect.device.conversations of /modules/kdeconnect/devices/<deviceId>
- Poke activeConversations and verify an empty array is returned
- Poke requestAllConversationThreads
- Poke activeConversations and verify that a list of numbers has been returned. These are conversationIds
- Use a conversationId to call getFirstFromConversation
- Verify that the returned Message object is one which you recognize
- Note that if the message is an MMS it will be blank and meaningless. Try a different conversationId. MMS support "coming soon!"
Step 3: SMS App
- Use ccmake (or similar) to set SMSAPP_ENABLE to ON
- Build the project
- Run ./bin/kdeconnect-sms
- Verify that the app shows a list of everyone you have an SMS conversation with (MMS messages are stripped out)
- If you have the Contacts plugin working, verify that most contacts have their name and photo instead of their phone number

Maniphest Tasks: T8338, T6651
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D11854
Creates a tiny messaging app that uses KPeople to query the contacts and
KDE connect telephony plugins to send plugins.
To be ready, still needs some work on the contacts sync side and some
messages history would be nice.
Allow to inject keypress events to remote peers (most notably Android devices)
Notes / open issues / possible improvements:
- For the json-payload I used the syntax of the key-events as sent by mousepad-plugin with the addition of a "sendAck"-flag. If "sendAck" is set to true the remote peer should echo a key-event if it could be handled, thus allowing the local client to find out whether the key was accepted. For performance reasons, it's allowed to send multi-char strings in the "key" property (performs much better if you send a whole string via "echo '...' | kdeconnect-cli ..." e.g.)
- kdeconnect-cli: For now takes a string and transforms it into single key-events for visible characters only. In a first implementation I used a kbhit() helper that used termios.h to catch and relay keypresses interactively (including some special-events), which was not optimal. A better approch might be to use linux input-api directly. Would this be an option regarding cross-platform compatibility or can I assume to develop for Linux only? Being a command-line guy, I'd really like to have a fully featured kdeconnect-cli interface ;-)
- Factor out the Qt::Key-to-internal keymap to some core-helper because it corresponds to the mapping in the mousepad-plugin?
- The plasmoid is not perfect as it is: A single line containing a non-echoing TextField (i.e. it eats all the KeyPress events), and only ack-ed keypress-packets from the peer device are injected if they contain visible keys. Advantage: the user sees whether his key-presses are accepted by the peer device. Disadvantage: The echoed text does not correspond 1:1 to what is shown on the peer's display, user might be confused when typing without success. I played around with different variations each of which with its proper shortcomings:
1. An echoing Textfield for typing: Has the advantage that the user can directly see what he is typing, which makes interaction in the typing field easier, BUT messes up interaction if the Editor on the peer is changed silently and does not notify the user if his keypresses are not handled by the peer.
2. A non-echoing TextField for typing PLUS a readonly one for printing visible echoed keys. Disadvantage: same as for the previous one and uses more space on the plasmoid.
Comments? Ideas?

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.
REVIEW: 123042
Straight forward port from QJson to the native Json support.
As a note I have added 2 helper functions that make the code bit more
readable (object2qvariant and qvariatn2qobject).
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.
