Summary:
The favourites are based on KAStats (already released version) **and kactivitymanagerd master (to be released with the next Plasma release)**. It allows favourites to be set to all activities, or the user can choose which activities to show a specific favourite application on.
This change covers applications, files and contacts, other favourites are still based on the old model (now named SimpleFavoritesModel).

Test Plan:
Tested in Kicker, Dashboard and Kickoff the following:
Transitioning mechanism:
- load default favorites for the blank user
- load custom default favorites set in the plasmoidsetupscripts script for Kicker
- transition old results - when transitioning, merge the favourites from all launchers. The ordering for each launcher is kept separate (newly added items due to the merge go to the end)
Favorite manipulation:
- right-click add favorite to all activities
- right-click remove favorite from all activities
- right-click add favorite to specific activity (current)
- right-click remove favorite from specific activity (current)
- right-click add favorite to specific activity (not current)
- right-click remove favorite from specific activity (not current)
- right-click move from all to specific
- right-click move from specific to all
- right-click move from one activity to another
- dnd reorder items in the model (up)
- dnd reorder items in the model (down)
- dnd add to favorites at a specific position
Other:
- launch the application
- ordering persists after restart
- ordering from the previous is kept on the activity that has no ordering

Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D3805
* Not just apps, also documents and contacts can now be added
to the favorites. All types of content have their full context
menu action list available also in the favorites sidebar.
* Contact favorites use the contact photo as icon, with a circular
alpha mask and the presence status icon as overlay badge.
* Adding/removing favorites from context menus now works every-
where, e.g. also in KRunner-based search results.
* Far fewer actions now cause a full rebuild of the model tree
and instead only delta updates, as a side-effect of adding a
mechanism for this to e.g. handle status changes for contact
items.
* Various bugs around hiding/unhiding apps got fixed.
* Lots of code cleanup + less coupling all around.
This version is a mostly-from-scratch reimplementation of
the Plasma 1 version.
Some minor-in-scope loose ends are left, both external and
internal to the code; check TODO for whether your issue is
already known.
