The existing desktop switcher becomes the first available layout called
"informative". For both variants of desktop switchers a new config key is
introduced to define the desktop switcher layout.
Desktop layouts are installed into a different directory than window
switcher layout and use a different service type.
For the moment it's basically a hidden config option as there are no
further layouts yet.

The method was missing a check whether the weak pointers in the
internal list got deleted. This could in very unlikely cases
lead to a crash.
In order to verify that adding the null pointer check fixes the
crash a unit test is added to simulate the situation of a
pointer being deleted. This required to add a mock a few
classes of TabBox. A MockTabBoxHandler and MockTabBoxClient are
added implementing the specific interfaces. The DeclarativeView
is completely mocked to make the linker happy. Including the
actual implementation is not possible as it pulls in half of
KWin core.

A new service type is introduced which is used by the KCM to find
all available window switcher layouts. This makes it finally possible
to have 3rd party window switchers.
Also the tabbox finds the packaged QML file through the service
definitions.
Desktop switcher is not yet in packaged version (UI to configure
is missing).
