KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 2 co-installability

It should be possible to install a kde frameworks 5 runtime alonside a kdelibs 4 runtime so apps can use either one

Many paths have changed by default so there is no clash

kdelibs 4 CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR: /usr/share/config
kf5 CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR: /etc/xdg
kdelibs 4 DATA_INSTALL_DIR: /usr/share/apps
kf5 DATA_INSTALL_DIR: /usr/share

HTML_INSTALL_DIR does clash as /usr/share/doc/HTML to allow khelpcentre to find docs from both kdelibs4 land and kf5 land

kio

/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kioslave/ will clash unless distros change docs install path (as debian does)

needs kioslaves.desktop in khelpcentre (was in kde-runtime, where is it now?) updated
