The previous implementation of plugin-support for the kakoune derivation
was based on generating, at build time, a `plugins.kak` file that would
source all .kak files in the list of plugins, and wrap the `kak` binary
in a script that would add some command-line arguments so that this
file gets loaded on start-up. The main problem with this approach
is that the plugins' code get executed *after* the user's configuration
file is loaded, so effectively one cannot automatically activate/configure
these plugins.
The idiomatic way of loading plugins is ensuring they end up installed
somwhere under `share/kak/autoload`. Because plugins are already being
packaged to have their code in `share/kak/autoload/plugins/<name-of-plugin>`,
we can obtain a derivation that includes the plugins simply by doing a
`symlinkJoin` of `kakoune-unwrapped` and all the requested plugins.
For this to work, we need to fix two issues:
1. By default, kakoune makes `share/kak/autoload` a symbolic link to
`share/kak/rc`, which contains all builtin definitions. We need
to patch this to put the symlink under `share/kak/autoload/rc`, so that
the join works.
2. By default kakoune expects the `autoload` directory to be in
`../share/kak/autoload` relative to the location of the `kak` binary.
We need to set the `KAKOUNE_RUNTIME` to point the symlinked
share/kak for this to work.
Use `buildInputs` instead of `propagatedBuildInputs` - should reduce
closure size a bit. Don't wrap executables twice. Move `kdoctools` to
native. Use libsForQt5 - default version (works).

Currently lxqt is a desktop environment that's compiled against qt514.
To avoid possible issues (#101369), we (hopefully) use the same qt
version as the desktop environment at hand. LXQT should move to qt515,
and for the long term the correct qt version should be inherited by the
sddm module.
Intro:
Part of #101369: Every attribute from kdeApplications and kdeFrameworks
can be built with a few different qt5 versions. It's hard to tell the
difference between an application and a library and some applications
rely on inputs from kdeApplications and libsForQt5 alike.
Before this change, some applications that were defined with
`libsForQt5.callPackage` used libraries from the kde* sets compiled with
a specific qt5 version,
Due to `inherit (kde*) <lib or app>;` used in the widest scope, we had
issues with packages that depended on packages defined by this
`inherit`. This led to mismatched qt versions used in the same inputs,
or the inputs of inputs etc.
Hence, we added to all libsForQt5* sets, packages that will be used from
the correct libsForQt5 set, in accordance to the
`libsForQt5*.callPackage` used. All `inherit (kdeApplications) <pkgs>`
and similar inheritance was moved out of all-packages.nix to aliases.nix
only for backwards compatibility.
Now some KDE applications show up in the attribute sets `libsForQt5*`
which didn't show up there previously. This is sort of misleading, as
these are not necessary libraries, but they show up in the wider scope
thanks to them in aliases.nix. Hence it's the best that can be done
considering the circumstances and the urgency of the issue.
Since it's a qt library, we can't guarantee every package using it as a
dependency will need it compiled with the same qt version, we put it in
all `libsForQt5*` scopes (#101369).
