Consider KDE integrations working under KDE 6 

Of course there might still be breaking changes until the final release but
so far it looks good enough.

### Troubleshooting KDE integration
All KDE integrations are only provided for KDE 5. At this point they will not work under KDE 6. Porting
to KDE 6 is in the works and a build against KF6 is possible. However, there is more work required because
compatibility was severely broken by KF6 and https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/widget/porting_kf6 only
covers a fraction of the breakage.
All KDE integrations are provided for KDE 5 and 6. The Qt version you have built Syncthing Tray against
must match the KDE version you want to build the integrations for.
If the Dolphin integration or the Plasmoid does not work, check whether the files for those components
have been installed in the right directories.

These examples were for KDE 5. It looks a bit different for KDE 6. Checkout my Arch Linux and
openSUSE packaging for further examples.
The directory where the `*.so` file needs to be installed to, seems to differ from distribution to
distribution. The right directory for your distribution can be queried from qmake using
`qmake-qt5 -query QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS`. In doubt, just look where other Qt plugins are stored.

### KDE integration
Since the Dolphin integration and the Plasmoid are plugins, testing and debugging requires a few extra steps.
