Virtual desktop and activity tracking.

Compositors and window managers need to know which virtual desktop or activity is active and react to switches. VirtualDesktopManager tracks KWin virtual desktops via D-Bus: current desktop, count, names, and UUID mapping. ActivityManager tracks KDE Activities via KActivities or PlasmaActivities as an optional compile-time dependency. Any consumer that needs workspace awareness links the library directly, independently of the PlasmaZones daemon.
