This refactors the free space notifier module to use a critical (i.e. persistent and always on top) notification for warning of low disk space.
The, albeit blinking, tray icon is easy to miss, especially when you're running a full screen terminal, which I typically do while compiling stuff.
It now also monitors the Root folder, if it's on a separate partition from the user's home. Furthermore, Filelight is offered to explore the drive (if installed).
The overall warning logic remains pretty much the same:
* Once the drive goes below the configured threshold a warning notification is shown, it stays on screen until dismissed by the user or
when free space is above warning threshold again.
* The notification is emitted again when free space drops below half the previous threshold, for added sense of urgency should the drive
be rapidly filled up
* The notification is also emitted again if free space remains below the threshold for more than one hour
(It will only emit again when it was closed, obviously, so you won't end up with a tonne of popups after a few hours ;)
I don't think this needs to be separately configurable for Home and Root, since the default threshold is like 200 MiB (it's not a configured
percentage), so the absolute free space it warns about will be the same, even if your Home is giant compared to Root.

Which delegates the task of doing it to a out of process IO slave and makes it asynchronous.
KDiskFreeSpaceInfo blocks querying mount points and might freeze for a while with NFS stuff.
Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D13350
As kded loads before plasma, we need to check for the free disk space a
bit later than on module load, otherwise that spawns an ugly not-plasma-
themed notification even before plasma is loaded
The first check will be done 1 minute after module load, that's enough.
Currently it's done purely as a notification, which doesn't make much
sense. This patch turns it into a regular SNI. The actions were moved
from the notification popup to the SNI menu.
