Project Name: [digiKam] Rewrite database KIO-slaves as pure Qt5 with multithreading

A Brief Description: Originally, KIO-Slaves was implemented to run database queries in a separate process to prevent problems with SQlite. Since SQlite support queries from separate threads, KIO-slaves can be dropped, and a new API can be implemented using pure Qt threads API. This will improve digiKam portability, and permit adjusting CPU cores assigned to database processes efficiently.

Status:

• Dropping dependency on KIO-Slaves:

  In progress

• Patching the database files:

  In progress

• Creating GUI dedicated to controlling multithreading:

  In progress

• Writing test code:

  In progress

• Documentation:

  In progress

• Benchmarking:

  In progress
