Port Keyboard input modules and Expand scope to cover input method configuration

Idea page: https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2018/Ideas#System_Settings:_Port_keyboard_input_modules_and_expand_scope_to_cover_input_method_configuration

Project Goals: Port all the Keyboard KCM's existing functionality to the new modern Kirigami UI, and make it easier for users to configure the IM from within System Settings.

Current progress

  • UI
    • Ported 90% of the existing UI to Qt Quick
    • Make model more flexible for incorporating IMs by using proxy models
    • Basic support for configuring fcitx
  • Daemon
    • Removed most of the legacy and cruft, such as tray icons and flags
