Introduce additional sorting / grouping options and actions for Konqueror

listviews, available through new submenu: View => Sort

Options:

(1) "Group Directories First" - Toggle on/off option to group directories
    before non-directories. Comparable to iconview's "Folders First" option.

(2) "Group Hidden First" - Toggle on/off option to group hidden entities
    (aka dotfiles) before non-hidden.

Option-related settings are stored in config/konqlistviewrc

Actions:

(1) "Reverse Sort Order" - Toggle sort order of the current sort column.
    Action bound to key Ctrl+R.

(2) "Alternate Sort Order" - Toggle sorting between 2 most recent sort
    columns selected by mouse click. The existing sort order for the
    sort columns is preserved. Action bound to key Ctrl+S.

Action-related settings are stored in config/konquerorrc/[Listview_file]
