SUMMARY
FR: Profile selector. Allow users to launch Konsole in a mode where it shows a list of profiles to choose from (similar to session selector in KDevelop 4) rather than creating a tab using the default profile.

Use case: The default profile has a broken shell that terminates immediately. User needs a way to keep Konsole running while they reconfigure profiles, and/or a way to work using a different profile while the default on is temporarily unavailable.

Workaround (available only in Plasma): Enable "Konsole Profiles" in KRunner, use it.
