Python/PyQt Wacom GUI for KDE

Quick and dirty migration to python3 and PYQt5

Originally performed by @cbsrobot.

Also fixed a bug in scanning for Name= key, which was preventing one of my tablets from being detected.

I've added a hack to make the Wacom CTE-630BT work (while over bluetooth using blutetoothctl). For the most part I only needed this software to set proportions properly for the active area.
