Review request for kdelibs.
Summary
-------
KIO already loads the widget used in the KFileDialog dynamically from libkfilemodule. \
The base class is KAbstractFileModule. However, the loaded lib/plugin is fixed. This \
small patch changes the situation making it really pluggable by using the standard \
KService procedure of loading plugins. It allows to easily change the file dialog \
implementation by creating a plugin of type "KIO/FileModule" and adding its name to \
the "kfilemodulerc" config file. The reason for this is that in the GSoC Alessandro \
Sivieri developed a replacement for the file dialog based on Nepomuk. He tried to \
patch it into kdelibs but it was a mess due to all the dependencies. With this \
approach implementations can easily be switched.
Open issues:
* the patch uses KService::serviceByDesktopName but also contains commented code \
using KServiceTypeTrader. I am not sure which is preferable.
* I left in the legacy code of loading the filemodule from libkfilemodule. I suppose \
this should be removed.
