KPackage: Deprecate code paths which use desktop files
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

With T14517 there is no need to have the desktop files around anymore. Consequently we can deprecate the codepaths which use the desktop files. Internally we use KPluginMetaData::fromDesktopFile quite often, consequently deprecating the desktop file code paths should not cause any public API changes.
