Device specific workspaces

The Plasma Device shell that is used in the Plasma Active tablet shell is a generic user interface loader that doesn't provide any UI by itself.

The device shell will load:

A set of QML files that will define the behavior of the workspace for this form factor, in the form of a Plasma::Package file structure
That package may eventually load other packages via QML
The plasma containments will be loaded and put into the scene
Every activity corresponds to 1 containment
there may be containments not linked to activities (e.g. panels)
the containment are placed in the screen by logic written in JavaScript inside the main homescreen QML package
