Bart De Vries 633f4fd0f0 Use multithreading for feed updates (using ThreadWeaver)
This contains the following changes:
- Use separate db connections for feed updates (required for
  multithreading.
- Add ThreadWeaver dependency.
- Port update job from KJob to ThreadWeaver::Job
- This should also solve the bug where the update process would hang
  on the "processEvents" call, which was intended to keep the UI
  responsive during updates.

BUG: 452585

# Get it
Nightly Android APKs are available at [KDE's Binary Factory](https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Android/job/Kasts_Nightly_android-arm64/).
# Building
Note: When using versions of kasts built from git-master, it's possible that the database format or the name of downloaded files change from one version to another without the necessary migrations to handle it. If you notice bugs after upgrading to a git-master version, export your feeds, delete `~/.local/share/KDE/kasts` and import the feeds again.
## Requirements
- KCoreAddons
- KI18n
- KConfig
- Kirigami
- Syndication
- TagLib
- QtKeychain
- ThreadWeaver
### On debian
```
apt install build-essential cmake extra-cmake-modules qtbase5-dev \
qtdeclarative5-dev qtquickcontrols2-5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev \
libkf5syndication-dev libkf5config-dev libkf5i18n-dev \
libkf5coreaddons-dev libtag1-dev qtkeychain-qt5-dev \

git clone https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/kasts
cd kasts
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr

This assumes all dependencies are installed. If your distribution does not provide
them, you can use [kdesrc-build](https://kdesrc-build.kde.org/) to build all of them.
## Android
You can build Kasts for Android using KDE's [Docker-based build environment](https://community.kde.org/Android/Environment_via_Container).
