[Bug 1615549] [NEW] Don't restrict jump list actions to Unity

Public bug reported:

Firefox in its application .desktop file provides a couple of Desktop
Actions ("jump list actions"), for opening a new tab or a new incognito
tab. Since Plasma 5.6 those actions are also supported by KDE Plasma and
there's no reason these actions should be restricted to Unity
(OnlyShowIn=Unity).

They are currently shown in Plasma and work just fine as I did not
implement support for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn in Desktop Actions (which I
didn't see explicitly mentioned in the spec though). For Plasma 5.8
which will have MPRIS controls in the context menu I want to add support
for this to avoid double entries in media players (many abuse static
Desktop Actions for player controls).

However, I don't want to break users relying on the ability to open new
(incognito) tabs through the task bar in Plasma, hence I request the
OnlyShowIn for Firefox desktop actions to be dropped. (Alternatively
"KDE" could be added, but I don't see any reason for not enabling them
globally).
