Awesome work Petr.  :-)

I went through the branch and applied most of the patches.  With a few
changes:

* shortened multi-line URLs
* added (file-name ...) for git sources
* removed knetworkmanager -- AFAICT it is identical to networkmanager-qt
* switched to git-fetch for packages that were downloading tarballs from
  the KDE GitLab.  This is because such autogenerated tarballs are not
  stable: they may get regenerated with a different hash.
* dropped the !! commits
* Minor tweaks to synopses and descriptions
* A few commits had a random edit to a different package: I reverted
  those edits.  An example:
  https://github.com/phodina/guix/commit/5eaa9c49a78eed419db7847668a55c079bad5b71
* Removed use of direct variable references, i.e. #$qtbase.  Always use
  (search-input-file ...), (search-input-directory ...) or as a last
  resort #$(this-package-input "foo").
* Skipped commits that would trigger a lot of rebuilds, e.g. gpgme.
* Skipped cosmetic commits such as using G-expressions in Qt packages;
  mainly because of rebuilds, but also because they were not indented
  properly.  Some also introduced direct #$variable references.
* Dropped the plasma-desktop-service since it was not working for me.

For later reference, when adding patches, please add a sentence or two
at the top of the patch describing what it does.  I did not edit the
patches (except for a long file name), because I did not know what it
was for.  Presumably you did; future you will thank you!

Pushed to 'master' as fe3be8d5e0..82804298ad !
