Add KDE5 desktop backend

This is mostly a copy of the KDE4 backend ported to Qt5/KF5.

One difference is that this code will initialize the QApplication
on-demand, when it's not yet available. This will allow us to use
this desktop backend also within a vclplug that does not use Qt
itself, such as the upcoming Gtk3/KDE5 hybrid.
