Summary: Added primitive support for the mpriscontrol plugin on Windows by simulating VK_MEDIA key presses. I took a look into `ISystemMediaTransportControls`, but there doesn't seem to query it since it's per app. Leaving simulating key presses our only option for now. Completes T10000

This was very poorly implemented and can't stay as it is right now:
- Every second or so the art image was being loaded from disk, scaled,
base64 encoded and sent over the freakin network!
- The Android interface didn't take into account small screens, and
adding the image would cut stuff out of the screen.
- Didn't manage "edge cases" like playing a song without cover after one
with cover (previous image was still being shown) or changing players.
This reverts commit e66096d05a.

Right now we only support album art if the player provides a local URL,
but some players provide a remote URL (spotify) I'll be adding support
for that in a later patch.

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.

This meant to add a lot of dependencies to each plugin since we had
KDELibs4support as PUBLIC link meaning that anything linking against
kdeconnectcore was linking at the same time to mostly all frameworks.
Now each plugin has more or less its dependencies in the CMake some
still depend on KDELibs4Support.
For the mousepad plugin I needed to add a fixX11.h file that basically
undefines/defines again some stuff xlib has that conflcits with normal
C++ and Qt.
Before it was not conflicting because some lib within KDELibs4Support
was including this file, but now we have to do it ourselves.
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.
