this makes a mini "edit mode" when the toolbox is open, opening
all the applet handles.
It is coherent with the panel and partly solves the unintuitiveness
of the press and hold for the handle

- R119:e635931e433c: open applet handles when the toolbox is open
open the toolbox, clicking on an empty area or on another window closes it
clicking anywhere on an applet handle executes the action and doesn't close it.
is possible to resize, move and close applets without closing any handle or
the toolbox.
Unfortunately there is a timer more in the toolbox that i tried really hard to kill
but i didn't manage to have the correct behavior otherwise (ideas welcome)

Tried it out, expecting to find it difficult to use, acutally quite liked it. Surprisingly simple too.
One problem:
- have multiscreen
- click toolbox on left
- drag widget from left screen to right
- handles disappear mid drag
Maybe we can just set temporaryShowAppletHandle on a drag start too?
I'd also like to see this setting going via Plasma::Contianment instead of AppletHandle sniffing random properties in the parent component scope.
That will allow us to throw this in a context menu too - and some applets should disable their own popups and tooltips when in this mode.
Can we re-use isUserConfiguring?

i don't think so, because isUserConfiguring means the config dialog is open. at most, i would move it in an extra property in the root item

tested it more, and this is normal, even with the old way.
I don't think there is much that can be done in general, because when the applet changes containment, its appletappearance (and its mouseeventlistener used to drag ght thing around) gets deleted, and the applet reparented to a new one.
I tried to see what would be needed to recycle the same appletappearance, but the codepath is going trough Containment::addApplet, i would like to keep it that way
