Sebastian Kügler 8b6a248033 Package install and uninstall are now non-static async
Installation and uninstallation of packages is now done in an instance
of the package. The methods return a KJob* which can be used to track
progress and result. The real work is done in a thread in order to make
it possible to not block the UI.

* @class Package plasma/package.h <Plasma/Package>
*
* @short object representing an installed Plasma package
*
* Package defines what is in a package and provides easy access to the contents.
*
* To define a package, one might write the following code:
*
@code
Package package;
package.addDirectoryDefinition("images", "pics/", i18n("Images"));
QStringList mimeTypes;
mimeTypes << "image/svg" << "image/png" << "image/jpeg";
package.setMimeTypes("images", mimeTypes);
package.addDirectoryDefinition("scripts", "code/", i18n("Executable Scripts"));
mimeTypes.clear();
mimeTypes << "text/\*";
package.setMimeTypes("scripts", mimeTypes);
package.addFileDefinition("mainscript", "code/main.js", i18n("Main Script File"));
package.setRequired("mainscript", true);
@endcode
* One may also choose to create a subclass of PackageStructure and include the setup
* in the constructor.
*
* Either way, Package creates a self-documenting contract between the packager and
* the application without exposing package internals such as actual on-disk structure
* of the package or requiring that all contents be explicitly known ahead of time.
*
* Subclassing PackageStructure does have provide a number of potential const benefits:
* * the package can be notified of path changes via the virtual pathChanged() method
* * the subclass may implement mechanisms to install and remove packages using the
* virtual install and uninstall methods
* * subclasses can be compiled as plugins for easy re-use
