KDE: Update KDE Frameworks 6 to 6.0.0

This updates KDE Frameworks 6 to the first stable release.

Update plan for the rest of KDE:

* The KDE Plasma 6 ports that are currently in the tree will be updated
  shortly to the stable release.

* The KDE Applications will be updated to 24.02 at the beginning of the
  next quarter in the tree. They will be mostly Qt6 based.
  To test them beforehand, one can use the overlay [1].

* The idea is to wait out the first patch-release for the applications,
  which should hopefully get rid of most of the new bugs.
