f25: retire strigi ?

Consideration for f25 development cycle, orphan/retire strigi.

strigi is (or will be) an optional dependency in kdelibs and kdegraphics-
mobipocket (it includes an optional .mobi strigi analyzer).

In the modern plasma5 desktop, since there are fewer and fewer kde4-based 
applications used (by default at least), the usefulness of these strigi 
analyzers is  of little value (and only declining).

Any thoughts on the idea of retiring strigi, and all these -strigi-analyzer 
pkgs that depend on it?

i would be happy to get strigi and all other incarnations of indexing 
removed at all from the whole operating system - so +100

As threatened, I orphaned strigi (for f25+)

I'll encourage than to do the same for the packages he's primary contact 
for:
kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer
kdenetwork-strigi-analyzers
kdesdk-strigi-analyzers

and i'll work to drop the optional build dep from:
kdelibs
kdegraphics-mobipocket
