[Bug 1795398] [NEW] 'Install samba' option missing in sharing tab of Dolphin's folder properties

[Rik Mills]

Public bug reported:

Cosmic, version 4:18.04.3-0ubuntu1 
Bionic, version 4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1 

Expected behaviour: If samba is not installed, an 'Install Samba' button
should be present to enable automatic installation of Samba via
packagekit.

Actual behaviour: A message just states that samba is not installed.

This is a regression from Bionic onwards.

The reason is that the feature has not been built is due to the cmake
requirement of:

PackageKitQt5 (required version >= 0.9.5)

erroneously resulting in the output that the requirement is not
satisfied by packagekit-qt 1.0.1

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390599

While this is an error in packagekit-qt's cmake logic (I imagine) other
KDE projects just use 'find_package(PackageKitQt5)' without any
versioning, where < 0.9.5 is long depreciated so not an issue (if it
ever was).
