KDE Games/API cleanup

From KDE Community Wiki

libkdegames v5 is the new iteration of libkdegames which is intended to ship with KDE Development Platform 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 The aim for this new iteration of the library is to remove most of the API that is obsolete, unused or in a state of bad quality, in order to improve maintainability and relevance of the remaining API.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.
