This is part of a series of PRs made in preparation for the QML rewrite. this PR specifically moves a bunch of utility functions from main.cpp into qt_common, with the biggest benefit being that QML can reuse the exact same code through ctx passthrough.
Also, QtCommon::Frontend is an abstraction layer over several previously Widgets-specific stuff like QMessageBox that gets used everywhere. The idea is that once QML is implemented, these functions can have a Quick version implemented for systems that don't work well with Widgets (sun) or for those on Plasma 6+ (reduces memory usage w/o Widgets linkage) although Quick from C++ is actually anal, but whatever.
Other than that this should also just kinda reduce the size of main.cpp which is a 6000-line behemoth rn, and clangd straight up gives up with it for me (likely caused by the massive amount of headers, which this DOES reduce).
In the future, I probably want to create a common strings lookup table that both Qt and QML can reference--though I'm not sure how much linguist likes that--which should give us a way to keep language consistent (use frozen-map).
