  - Finally proper target export such that plugin build in build tree as well as separate projects
  - Add custom target `global_lupdate`
- CMake
  - `albert_plugin(…)` modifications
    - Add `QT` parameter
    - Add `I18N_SOURCES` parameter

    - `LINK_LIBRARIES` > `LINK`

    Remove the getters, have only setters to update plugins.
    - Add `TriggerQueryHandler::setUserTrigger`
    - Remove `TriggerQueryHandler::trigger()`
    - Remove `TriggerQueryHandler::fuzzyMatching()`
  - Do not allow users to disable triggered query handlers.
    This may end up in states where plugins are loaded but actually not used.
    Also some handlers may rely on them to be there, like e.g. the files global
    handler redirects tabs to the triggered handlers.
  - Remove `const` from handleTriggerQuery
  - Support ignore diacritics
  - Support ignore word order
  - Make `Query` contextually convertible to `QString`
  - Unify query interface, no more global- and triggerquery
  - Add parameterizable `Matcher`/`Match` class
  - Add dedicated empty query handling
    Empty patterns should match everything. For global queries that's too
    much. For triggered queries it is desired though. Since a lot of global
    query handlers relay the `handleTriggerQuery` to `handleGlobalQuery` it is
    not possible to have both. This introduces a dedicated function for
    GlobalQueryHandlers that will be called on empty queries:

Note that there have been some breaking changes. The new plugin id format changed settings keys and
config/cache/data paths. If you want to keep your old plugin settings you have to adjust the section
names in the config file and adjust the paths in your config/cache/data dirs. (e.g. from
`org.albert.files` to `files`). I'd recommend to start from scratch though, since too much changed.
