D22844: [WIP/RFC] [kcm-colors] Export colorscheme to GTK color definitions

  Interesting approach!
  However, this doesn't seem to apply anything on first login?
  Maybe you want to extend the "rdb" thing instead:
  `runRdb(KRdbExportQtColors | KRdbExportGtkTheme | (m_applyToAlien ? 
KRdbExportColors : 0));` and add a `KRdbExportGtkCssColors` which then does all 
of that, given there's already a "Gtk Theme" in there.
  
  Overall I must say I'm not a fan of adding yet another place where we mess 
with GTK config files and would prefer someone write that centralized gtk 
settings daemon I proposed numerous times :) but I don't want to block this on 
a hypothetical idea that will probably never emerge...

Pass by const-ref `const QString &name, ..`

`return QStringLiteral("@define-color %1 %2").arg(name, color);\n"`;

You probably want to be using 
`QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::GenericConfigLocation)` or 
something along the lines instead of hardcoding `~/.config`

Coding style, brace on same line as `if`

> colors.cpp:471
> +    }
> +    if (colorsCss.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite | QIODevice::Truncate)) {
> +        QTextStream colorsStream(&colorsCss);

Not just `WriteOnly`?
