feat: transition users from ptyxis to konsole

You can test this by pinning ptyxis on the panel and then running this
script inside plasma-interactive-console or upgrade an F43 Aurora
image to an image that has this change.

It should make Ptyxis disappear and konsole should show up instead, this
should make the transition easier as ptyxis won't just vanish with no
replacement when we remove it from the image.

How this is supposed to work can be read on here.
https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/scripting/#running-scripts

I did not get this working for the favorites section in the kickoff
widget, so for that ptyxis will just disappear with no replacement, but
at least it will not leave a blank icon behind and will not look as
broken.

This might annoy a small minority of people that have been running the
Beta/Latest stream where ptyxis has been removed already and they have
explicitly installed it again via flatpak. This change is intended to
reach the Stable stream when we flip the switch on F44 on that.

I guess we could also merge this now, it would be a little awkward as the container functionality of konsole will not ever be in F43

Think we can wait until the stable goes to F44
