Subject: [PATCH] kf5: replace sloppy focus with click-to-focus

The hover-based sloppy focus timer was stealing focus from buttons
via paneRoot.focus=true every 100ms of mouse movement, making
buttons very hard to click.

Replace with a click-to-focus MouseArea that only updates the
focusedPaneIndex on actual clicks, with mouse.accepted=false
so clicks propagate to the target widget normally.
