Likeback improvements

These changes are to improve likeback as a team tool. The alternative is complete removal, but we feel it can be very useful.

Fix dialog layout

It's not properly resizing. This is usually fixed by using the UI file more/properly.

Should be fairly trivial but tedious, likely just playing with QBoxLayout margins, size policies and stretch factors.

Send comments to forums

The user forums is a much better place to handle these. They are properly monitored and admined.

Remove comment fields from like and dislike

People keep using it for support request, remove the temptation. Could be replaced by radio button group with fixed choises

Generate statistics for amarok-devel

Since we mention it's only to be used for statistical purposes, let's use it that way. There should be summery mail send to [email protected] every week.
