Summary:
Adds an option to open externally called folder in a new tab.
By default this option is enabled
Test Plan:
If option selected:
1. All valid arguments passed to Dolphin should be opened in tabs of an instance(s) (if it exists). Duplicate tabs just change activation to current tab.
If option not selected:
1. All calls to Dolphin result in a new instance being opened
This option does not require Dolphin to be restarted to take effect.

Summary:
FEATURE: 183429
FIXED-IN: 19.08.0
GUI: new cli argument --new-window
Externally called files/directories are opened in a a new tab of an instance of Dolphin that already exists. If any of the given URIs are already open in a tab, then those tabs are activated instead of a new tab being opened. If there is no instance then the files/directories are opened in a new window. The newly opened file/directory has its tab activated, and consequently, the window is also activated.
When the user clicks "Open In New Window" or "Detach Tab", the files/directories are opened in a new window.
Test Plan:
[Manual]
Before testing, set the default file manager in system settings as the newly built Dolphin executable.
One must also include the new dolphin executable in the $PATH, otherwise some functions will attempt to open the system dolphin instead of the new one.
Furthermore, running two different versions of Dolphin (in particular, where one does not have this patch included) can result in bugs appearing, in particular, new tabs not opening as old instances will not recognise the DBus commands sent to it. However, I see no reason why a user will have two different versions of Dolphin (apart from people like us :D).
Open directories with the help of auxillary programs (i.e. a browser). The files/directories should appear in a new window if an instance does not exist. If an existence already exists, then a new tab should be opened and activated in that instance and the window activated.
Use QDBusViewer to open folders/items by calling the ShowFolders/ShowItems methods in org.freedesktop.FileManager1 of the Dolphin instance.
When a user chooses to "Open In New Window"/"Detach Tab" then the files/directories should be opened in a new window.

Summary:
Currently if someone starts 2 dolphins, the second cannot register
org.freedesktop.FileManager1 meaning and when the first dolphin quits,
no-one has it registered.
It doesn't cause a huge problem right now as we just dbus-activate a new one if
needed, but it means the behaviour is a bit inconsistent and
non-optimal.
DBus has a system to queue names, meaning that as long as any dolphin is
running this name is owned by one of the processes.
Also this patch registers the service after the object which is
technically safer.
Test Plan:
Ran d-feet
Opened 2 dolphins, closed the first
Service was still registered and the PID of the owning process changed.

Otherwise KRun opens a separate instance for every URL passed although Dolphin
already has logic to open different folders in tabs if neccessary.
