Right now the applet puts the entries to open the KCM and Energy Info
page in a hamburger menu, while the Configure button opens the applet's
own settings window which has only one item in it. This emphasizes the
less important thing, while de-emphasizing the more important thing.
We can solve this by making the applet's configure button open the KCM
instead of the applet configuration window. This makes the configuration
window inaccessible, so we delete it and move its one setting into the
hamburger menu along with "Show Energy Information". This is okay as
these two are lesser-used settings.
Overall this should make the actions easier to access and use, and more
relevant to the user.

Rounding errors made scrolling behave weirdly for devices supplying very
low scroll delta values. This is fixed now. For non-high resolution devices,
scrolling is now also aligned to 5%, just like the keyboard shortcuts.

The power management inhibition UI is currently somewhat confusing to
users because it's not clear that the checkbox is a local override for
the permanent settings set elsewhere in System Settings.
A good sign that the UI is sub-optimal is that we refer to it as "power
management inhibition" internally and in our developer conversations,
but the UI expresses the opposite: *allowing* power management, not
inhibiting it. This conflicts in the user's mind with the UI in System
Settings that is also expressed in terms of allowing it. It is further
confused by the fact that the message about apps suppressing power
management is phrased in terms of being an temporary override, and that
we also show an unrelated message about the battery charge limit (if set)
in the same place where we're notifying the user about power management
inhibition.
Let's clarify this UI by doing the following:
- Re-word the checkbox's label to emphasize that it's a local override
for the settings that were set elsewhere
- Move the charge level message into the battery item itself, since
that's what it affects
- Slightly re-word the message for when apps are inhibiting power
management to emphasize that power management can be inhibited
automatically by apps in additionto manually by the user

This is generally what we do for other KCMs, and the UX is virtually
unchanged from the current multi-KCM dialog, with the exception of being
able to navigate elsewhere if you want.

There's no point, since it always says "-" and just covers up the icon.

We ported units to use the PlasmaCore.Units singleton earlier; now it's
time to do the same thing for PlasmaCore.Theme.
There are no UI changes or regressions detected.
The context property version is slower to access and won't be supported
in Qt6. Let's port away from it and use the singleton version instead.
Here was my full process for making this change:
1. Made the change with `find . -name '*.qml' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/units\./PlasmaCore\.Units\./g'`
2. Verified no more occurrences with `grep -r " units."`
3. Made sure this didn't change any comments in a silly way by inspecting the output of `git diff | grep "+ " | grep "//"`
4. Manually inspected the full git diff to make sure there were no other unintentional or silly changes (there were none)
5. verified that all changed files have the PlasmaCore import with the correct name with `for FILE in `git status | grep modified | cut -d ":" -f 3`; do grep -q "as PlasmaCore" $FILE || echo "$FILE needs the PlasmaCore import"; done`
Qt 5.15 introduced new syntax for defining Connections. Fix warnings like this one:
QML Connections: Implicitly defined onFoo properties in Connections are deprecated. Use this syntax instead: function onFoo(<arguments>) { ... }
the comboboix of a very rarely used feature right
in the header area is super noisy, looks misaligned and puts the feature
in a too much prominent role.
Put everything under a popup menu, mustually exclusive actions will be
shown as radiobuttons
At the moment, in the battery widget, the slider displays the brightness of the screen, but
it doesn't have text labels, so it's quite difficult to determine the brightness of the
screen. Adding a label over the slider that will display the current screen brightness as a
percentage will make this applet more descriptive and handy.
Right now this functionality is only offered through the context menu,
which of course is not available on touch. This commit adds a simple
toolbutton in the applet's toolbar to show the Energy KCM.
Many applets shouldn't actually appear on the phone, like
devicenotifier, the battery applet, the systray and so on
Populate all desktop files of the plasmoids with the proper
formfactors. on the desktop we keep showing everything.
on the phone most of those applets will be filtered out
Also take into account of the formfactors when populating the available
categories, wo we don't have the risk of seeing empty categories
Right now we handle the "plugged in but not charging" state but not the
state where you're plugged in but the power supply doesn't supply enough
power to prevent discharging anyway. We can wiggle the logic around to
catch this case with the existing one for the "plugged in and not
charging" state.
--Battery monitor in compact representation must align
its battery icon/s in center. That was first noticed
by a user in some systray cases.

This patch improves the UI for inhibiting power management and seeing
which apps are automatically doing it. Here are the changes, explained:
1. Use less jargonistic terminology for the feature itself, and remove
the explanatory tooltip which is no longer necessary
2. Show the full list of apps which are inhibiting power management,
because we have the space now that app icons are smaller
3. Correctly show and hide the list of inhibitions based on count and
Whether or not the user has independently suppressed PM
4. Leave a bit more room for long reasons and alert translators to
minimize string length as much as possible

Depends on D29711
As this will depend on Frameworks 5.71, it will be landed on master after branching,
ending up in Plasma 5.20.
Test Plan:
Right-click on applets and activate their configure menu items
Open applets and click on their settings buttons
Observe that the KCMs are opened in System Settings or Info Center
(depending on the context)

It only had a return value for "NoCharge" since the else case was only for not plugged in, resulting in it effectively returning undefined,
throwing during assignment "cannot assign [undefined] to string" and leaving whatever text happened to be shown last.

Summary:
I probably introduced the issue fixed here with D29315, sorry. This patch makes the
parent layout invisible when all of its children are invisible, so it doesn't keep
taking up some vertical space after a previously-visible inhibition goes away.
