Summary:
The lockscreen uses the MPRIS dataengine. This leads to two applications
registring the service using the same component name which leads to the
shortcuts not working when the lock screen closes.
We want to have the applet register the shortcuts, but not every
dataengine user.
Ideally this shouldn't be in the dataengine either because DataEngines
are read only. This moves the logic to the service which is writable and
registers the shortcuts for the multiplexer there when requested from
the applet.

Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D6100
Instead of having the media control shortcuts being grouped under
"plasmashell" a dedicated component "Media Controller" is added and all
shortcuts are assigned to it.
This solves the problem if multiple processes include the dataengine, the
shortcuts would be registered in each application.
REVIEW: 122588
The multiplexer registers global shortcuts for:
* play/pause
* next
* previous
* stop
and delegates them to the active player if triggered.
This could mean that media shortcuts for non mpris2 enabled
applications might break. The advantage is that we have global
shortcuts for media control.
