Albert Extra KDE Settings

Description

QPlugin for the Albert Launcher that exposes all kcm settings modules to Albert. The specific modules can be listed by running kcmshell5 --list. The previous version of this plugin only exposed certain modules to Albert and relied on hardcoding for its functionality and customization. If you wish to use the old version, it can still be found on a separate branch here. This new version exposes all kcm modules to Albert without any hardcoding. All customizations can now be done using the extension's config page found under the Extensions tab of the Albert settings.
