[Qt-creator] Providing a custom Kit in my own plugin

[Filippo Cucchetto]

Dear Olivier,
with "we can't break the C++ user workflow" i mean that if we decide to
modify the UI
or workflow in any way, we should care not to break the C++ user
experience. Since that
it's the aim of QtCreator. Nothing more.

My project is public available here,
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/123629/
It's still in the codereview phase and i've not implemented the nim
toolchain yet.
Right now i suppose that the Nim compiler it's installed and available in
the user PATH.

Regarding the compiler for Nim the things are slightly different because
it uses the system C/C++ compiler so in the Toolchain widget i've to show
the native compiler options plus Nim specific options.

Right now i don't have a clear idea in how to improve the Kit UI for adding
support for multiple languages.
I'll plan to start as you by creating a NimToolChainFactory,
NimToolChainWidget and NimToolChain.
As Rust with Cargo, Nim has its own dependency manager "Nimble" so i'll do
the same by
adding a KitInformation for it.

We are both in the same boat :)
