This commit brings the main view of Dolphin into a usable state
accessibility-wise. Users of screen readers should have a way better
experience while browsing files and folders and navigating along the
file system hierarchy.
This commit fixes most of the remaining already-identified
accessibility issues listed in
https://invent.kde.org/teams/accessibility/collaboration/-/issues/28,
but not all. Namely, these should now be fixed:
1. Orca should read the element type in dolphin (file, folder, device,
link to folder, link to file)
2. Orca should read complete label in icon and compact view mode,
currently it only speaks the name, but there could be additional
information like the number of elements or the file size.
3. Orca is not able to announce Selecting / Unselecting files in
Dolphin. It also never announces how many items are selected in total.
(Announcing the total selection can be done by reading out the view
element or by pressing the Tab key to get to the status bar with the
relevant information.)
4. Dolphin opens on the home directory, but Orca doesn't tell you so.
Consider enclosing the area in a frame/panel which updates its
accessible name each time you modify the current path by entering or
leaving a directory.
5. I don't know what the folder presentation widget is, but it should
be presented as a grid view. Currently, we have a terrible experience
because the entire row of folders is read at once, with no indication
that we can move left and right with the arrows to go between the
elements of a row. When I found that out, however, I discovered that
when you're on the last icon of the first row and press right arrow,
you get to the first icon of the next row, but that's not announced,
instead, the whole row is announced at once
6. Orca should announce the current elements instead of "layered pane"
when the Folder / File view gets the focus in dolphin
7. Orca reads only name in Table View only of Dolphin
8. Items are sometimes confusingly announced as "collapsed" in contexts
in which there is no concept of collapsing/expanding e.g. in icon view
mode.
A lot of code was moved around and renamed. The three accessibility
classes, which all used to be in the same file, are moved into separate
files.

BUG: 482508

Tapping the forward or back mouse buttons quickly enough makes Dolphin
interpret the action as a double-click of the button in question and
handle it in mouseDoubleClickEvent() instead of its normal button
handler. This means that certain button presses might seem delayed or
"swallowed" when quickly navigating forwards or backwards through the
history.
Since a double-click of the forward or back button is currently
meaningless, fix this by emitting a normal mouseButtonPressed event for
those buttons in the double-click handler and skipping any further event
processing.

The `setData` function is used by inline renaming to
update the `text` role (i.e. file name) in the model
before actually do the renaming.
However, the current implementation only updates `text`
and url in KFileItem in this case, leaving the `url` role
and the `m_items` cache untouched. This makes the cache
incoherent, so `index()` won't find the renamed item. It
also makes the `url` role incoherent with the `text` role.
This also fixes the problem mentioned in bug #481561
where when inline renaming fails, it still shows the new
name. (Because `m_model->index` fails to find the new name
and rename it back on job failure.)

Previously during rename, the number of QChar is used for selection,
which might be different from number of unicode characters.
Test plan:
- create the file zz❤️❤️.txt
- rename the file
- verify that the first 4 characters are correctly selected, which
didn't work before the patch.

Previous to this commit entering a folder without read access would show the non-descriptive error message "Could not enter folder". If the user actually is not allowed to view the contents of the folder, this is indeed true and this commit will preserve this message as is.
However, if an admin protocol is installed, users can actually view the contents of most folders after authorizing themselves as administrators. So this commit changes the error message in those specific circumstances to instead read "Authorization required to enter this folder." and provide a button to authorize themselves. This button is the "Act as Administrator" action.
If no admin protocol is installed, this commit has no effect.
The idea for this change came from Harald Sitter.
I receive funding for changes like this by the Next Generation Internet Initiative, which (as I understand it) will no longer provide funds for future projects like this if the current EU draft budget goes through as it is.

Items should only be selected if the user wants to act on them.
However, previous to this commit we sometimes selected items even
when there is no reason to assume that the user would like to act
on them. Such selections are dangerous because they make it more
likely that the user manipulates items by accident which they
never even explicitly selected.
Example: The "Up" action is used to navigate to the parent folder.
This will implicitly select the folder one emerged from after
opening the parent folder, so just one accidental press of the
Delete key will lead to data loss if the press goes unnoticed. This
scenario would have been avoided if no folder had been selected
automatically.
The above example becomes even more dangerous if the user is acting
with elevated privileges.
The following implicit selections of items are being removed:
- Selecting items that are being activated
- Selecting folders one emerges from
Even though these items will no longer be selected after these
actions, they will still be marked as current.
The only downside I see is that our indication of which item is "current" is a lot weaker than the selection highlight, so it might be more difficult to spot which folder one has emerged from. However, this could be counter-acted with some other temporary indication if this really turns out to be a problem.

Before starting autoActivationTimer, check that we're hovering the item on top of a directory.
If we don't check for it, the the autoActivationTimer will try to open the hovered item
in it's default application, which can be distracting and break the actual action
the user was trying to do, like moving the file to a directory.

Dolphin shows the size of directories by listing their contents, which
for some users might cause unwanted load on the file system.
Depending on the size of the subdirectories in question and how the
storage is accessed, this might cause noticeable delays and even
freezing.
This commit adds a new option under "View -> Content Display" that
enables users to set "Folder size:" to "No size", completely disabling
directory size counting. Directory size counting is still enabled by
default.
As a third option for "Folder size" is added, the DirectorySizeCount
boolean setting is replaced with a DirectorySizeMode enum setting. The
old setting is migrated using a kconf_update script.

Prior to this commit, the activateSoonAnimation would not play for
folders using previews. That was because the hoverSequences of
folder previews would always take priority over the
activateSoonAnimation.
This commit prioritises the activateSoonAnimation for the quick
moments in which it is active.

This commit adds an animation for folders that makes clear that
they will open or expand soon. This is the case when the option to
open folders during drag operations is enabled and a user drags an
item on top of a folder.
The animation goes like this:
- Replace the folder's icon with the "folder-open" icon
- Go back to the folder's original icon
- Replace the folder's icon with the "folder-open" icon once more

While using right-to-left languages most of Dolphin is mirrored.
However, the logic of what happens when the arrow keys are pressed to
move between items in the main view was never adapted to account for
that. Basically nothing works as expected because of this. It's more
like dealing with a psychopath who misinterprets every command you give:
Left is right, right is left, up is most of the time right but sometimes
not, down is most the time left but sometimes not.
This commit fixes and adapts the logic if a right-to-left layout is used.
This fully fixes icon view mode and improves compact view mode, though
compact view mode still has more issues which aren't addressed here.
This work for the benefit of the minority that use right-to-left
languages both in Europe and the world is sponsored by NLnet and the
European Commission which I think is beautfiul.

The bug fix 8f043b2958477d3fe2ef094b7e42f792f4cf0b02 introduced a
secondary code path to trigger a resort of items. However, the previous
way to trigger it only required a small bug fix to work and gives us a
couple of optimisations for free. This commit removes the secondary code
path and fixes the primary one.

d98037745fe6b5efbe9b145da7d20fa2f731b6a6 changed the time from 500 ms to
50 ms. This commit changes it to 100 ms.
Information relevant for sorting might change repeatedly. Prior to this
commit here we would resort within 50 ms of sorting being requested. If a
lot of resorts would be requested in a short time frame, this could lead
to the item order changing within the view up to 20 times a second which
would lead to a lot of unnecessary movement and make it impossible to
read even file names during the repeated sorting.
100 ms is half as bad in that regard. Bigger values might be even better
but it is a trade-off.

After refreshing the view when
size count is selected as the sortRole,
count is 0 at first. When the actual count is loaded,
the sorting is done according to the count being 0.
This can break the sort order and cause view and model
to be out of sync.
Making sure we always resort all items
when the directory size/item count is changed fixes this

Fixes a weird bug with the treeview if one has
```
[PreviewSettings]
Plugins=audiothumbnail
```
in their `dolphinrc`. It can be any PreviewSettings plugin, as long as there it at least one.
Check the bug report for more, but in short, the bug is reproducible like this:
```
create folder tree inside a test folder with
mkdir -p 1/A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I
mkdir -p 2/A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I
mkdir -p 3/A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I
make sure you see the test folder, and expand it
expand folder 1, no need to expand all sub folders
expand folder 2
collapse and expand test folder
3 loses its expansion arrow
if all folders are expanded, only 3 keeps its order
if 1 and all its subfolders are expanded, then test is toggled,
folder 2 also loses its expansion arrow
```
Video of the bug:
The path to the bug is: `KFileItemModelRolesUpdater::slotPreviewFailed` -> `KFileItemModelRolesUpdater::applyResolvedRoles` -> `KFileItemModelRolesUpdater::rolesData` -> `KFileItemModelRolesUpdater::startDirectorySizeCounting`.
This causes Dolphin with preview plugins enabled trying to count the directories again, and the data gets reset even if there is something there. This then resets the `isExpandable` flag and that breaks the treeview, causing all kinds of issues, like being able to expand non-directories and makes things out of sync.
