Issue body
### What needs to get done
You need to add Kvantum to kf6-core24, just like with the QT Breeze and Oxygen styles. I tested Kvantum in a Snap, and I needed to add a layout so it could find the files, and give it permission to read the files in $HOME/.config/Kvantum.
If this goes against how Snap handles themes, I suppose Kvantum themes could be like GTK themes, requiring a Snap version of a Kvantum theme for it to be usable in Snap apps.
### Why it needs to get done
This is necessary to improve the integration of QT Snap apps with the system theme. An example of a distro that uses Kvantum is Lubuntu, which is an official flavor, but so far it can't use Kvantum in Snap apps.
