temp/plasma-phone-components-vkbd-style: new aport

Administrator requested to merge plasma-phone-vkbd into master

Bring it back, until we can depend on another keyboard in postmarketos-ondev. I considered switching to maliit or squeekboard, but both are not that trivial so let's investigate that another time.

  • Maliit uses a whole different mechanism than this qtvirtualkeyboard-style (we'd need to start a minimal plasma-workspace environment or however ubports does it?).

  • squeekboard requires running a wayland compositor like phoc or sway. These would need some additional packaging to run on phones that still rely on framebuffer, and besides that it seems unlikely that the qtvirtualkeyboard hints like "use only numbers here", "start with lowercase letter" etc. as used by the installer would work as expected with squeekboard (not tested).
