KDE Games/API cleanup
libkdegames v5 is the new iteration of libkdegames which is intended to ship with KDE Development Platform 5 (though it may also happen earlier, e.g. 4.9). The aim for this new iteration of the library is to remove most of the API that is obsolete, unused or in a state of bad quality, in order to improve maintainability and relevance of the remaining API. Also, QtWidgets-specific parts need to be separated to prepare for QML-based games.
The fine print: The SO version for libkdegames v5 is actually 6.
