Let the other device know that it can add commands. Prevents newer Android Clients to show functionality that is not yet there on the desktop

I'm unsure about this one. Could it become a security liability?
Having 1 of the systems compromised on the network will escalate on every device very easily with this...

What use-case are you thinking about solving?

I see your point. Right now, the UI to add a command is quite hidden. Most users probably don't even know that there is the Commands Plugin, and without adding commands its pretty useless. Maybe we could ask for the user to confirm the sent command in the desktop. What do you think about this?

A confirmation on the desktop would be a solution... but I also think that otherwise this could be dangerous. As of now, in KDE Connect there is no way to execute arbitrary commands on the other machine, so even if a device is compromised there isn't much it can do to the connected devices. With this patch, we are adding a way to execute anything we want on the other device.

config()->set(...) in addCommand already calls sendConfig() through the configChanged signal

Nice feature! The code looks good to me, and it appear to work well.

Something broke, have to figure out what.

@apol @albertvaka @mtijink can somebody please test if this works? It doesn't work for me out of nowhere. Looks like the slot in line 128 is never called.

It works fine for me.

Issue seems to have gone

Let's discuss this at the sprint. I'm not convinced we want this.

I like it. It can wait until the sprint though.

Rebase on master
