[Bug 1302620] [NEW] [FFe] Remove remotelinux plugin and its dependencies from the QtC package

[zbenjamin]

Public bug reported:

FFe for splitting the remotelinux plugin and its dependencies into new packages.
Also introduces a new abstract interface to allow derivation for plugins depending on the remotelinux plugin.

The new packages are developed at: lp:qtcreator-plugin-remotelinux and are a requirement
for the Ubuntu-SDK qtcreator-plugin which will improve the UX drastically for cmake based UbuntuSDK
projects.

This FFe is about patching the mentioned plugins out of the QtC package, so the
packages can be installed instead.

The patched QtCreator is in this branch: lp:~zeller-benjamin/kubuntu-
packaging/qtcreator

Because of this breaking the ABI for QtC plugins deriving from remotelinux
and changing dependencies, this change needs to be landed together with the required changes to:
- qtcreator-plugin-cmake (lp:~zeller-benjamin/qtcreator-plugin-cmake/remotelinuxdeps)
- qtcreator-plugin-remotelinux ( lp:qtcreator-plugin-remotelinux)

The packages are already available from the ppa:
