Review request for Plasma.

Description
-------

Right now the clock applet is using one single label (besides the sizehelper) 
to fit time, timezone and also date. This has several drawbacks like for 
example the whole label must use one font size, one eliding etc.

Putting everything into its own label gives way more flexibility as we can 
position and size things independently - for example making the time bigger 
font than the timezone or date and elide long timezone name without omitting 
the date. The sizing is now also simpler and more robust.

This patch adds the time and timezone labels into Flow which changes direction 
based on the layout (in vertical panels layouts things vertically, horizontal 
panels either vertically or horizontally depending on date being shown or not), 
the date label is then always appended at the bottom. The reason for dateLabel 
not being in the Flow is that in horizontal panels we want the date label 
always go to the bottom and be center aligned and Flow does not support 
horizontal alignment of its children. Two anchors seems much easier in this 
case.

This removes two i18n strings and works around having to add another one (line 
352 in the patch) - it's not kosher but I did it so it can still be merged for 
5.1 which I would be strongly in favor of. If you decide it should wait for 
5.2, I'll add the i18n at the line 352).

Finally, this adds states for separate handling of vertical and horizontal 
panels, which has cleaned the code quite a lot from all the "vertical ? 
complex_a_stuff : complex_b_stuff".

Sorry it took so long, I kept quickly adding more things to finish it asap 
until the point where I had to stop and start from scratch. Result is much 
simpler & much cleaner code.

Testing

I did try a thorough testing of all the features in panels on all screen edges, 
all seems good.
