Title:
  SDK should set applicationName to "name" value in the click manifest

Status in “qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The title says it all, but the background is that there are currently several bugs against the SDK regarding non-app-specific paths being used by applications (eg, bug #1197051, bug #1197056, bug #1224126). This is going to be solved by the SDK examining applicationName in the MainView and appending that to QStandardPaths, which will work with application confinement since it uses apparmor rules like the following:
  @{APP_PKGNAME}="ar.com.beuno.hello-world"
  ...
    owner @{HOME}/.cache/@{APP_PKGNAME}/                  rw,      # subdir of XDG_CACHE_HOME
    owner @{HOME}/.cache/@{APP_PKGNAME}/**                mrwkl,
    owner @{HOME}/.config/@{APP_PKGNAME}/                 rw,      # subdir of XDG_CONFIG_HOME
    owner @{HOME}/.config/@{APP_PKGNAME}/**               mrwkl,
    owner @{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/            rw,      # subdir of XDG_DATA_HOME
    owner @{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/**          mrwklix,
    owner /{,var/}run/user/*/confined/@{APP_PKGNAME}/     rw,      # subdir of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
    owner /{,var/}run/user/*/confined/@{APP_PKGNAME}/**   mrwkl,

  APP_PKGNAME is set by the click-apparmor hook and it corresponds to
  the "name" field in the click manifest.

  Right now when creating a new application, it creates this in the qml:
      // Note! applicationName needs to match the .desktop filename
      applicationName: "untitled2"

  and this in the click manifest (click the Packaging button on the left and then click the Manifest tab):
      "name": "com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.untitled2",

  The SDK should be updated to use this in the QML:
      // Note! applicationName needs to match the "name" field of the click manifest
      applicationName: "com.ubuntu.developer.jdstrand.untitled2"

  This should be done for all Ubuntu templates that currently set
  'applicationName'.

  Ideally, the SDK would warn in the 'Application Output' of qtcreator
  when applicationName != click manifest name when the app has a click
  manifest. This will help developers discover problems.

  This change can happen immediately and is not dependent on the
  aforementioned bugs being fixed.
