Kickoff has a problem that it has a vertical list of things that act on
hover, but the next step involves moving the mouse to the right where
the target could be at any vertical position.
Moving the mouse in the most direct way involves hovering over other
items.
This can be supressed with a timer, but then we are in a trade off of
false positive activation for some and it being slow and annoying.
Neither is great.
This filter determines movement away from a child list view to
navigation within a child list listview based on mouse direction.
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

Summary:
This is one of the tasks on the Plasma 5.9 release todo, as
agreed at the kick-off meeting. Dashboard is about enabling
an alternative fullscreen workflow for people who want one,
and this extends the coverage to widget management. It's also
a widget management workflow many people are used to from
their phone.
This is quite early code, but already works fairly nicely.
There's even polish like pre-loading the widget explorer model
as soon as the tab is hovered to speed up the tab switch, and
keyboard nav is working, too.
I would like to get it reviewed now and merged once egregious
technical founds are identified and eliminated. Please don't
be too picky on the visual or even workflow details - one
reason I want it merged early is so that I can get it into
the VDG's hands via Neon for advice, and also because I want
people to spend some time using it in general. It's early
enough in the 5.9 cycle to iterate more.

Detaching drag initiation from the delegate avoids mouse events
getting dropped as hover-enabled items move in response to the
drag (as a bonus it will also avoid a crash in case of a sycoca
update mid-drag).
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.
