ProjectExplorer: Simplify standard run control construction

A lot of the target-and-tool specific run controls nowadays
have something like a single main RunWorker. This patch
removes the need to have user-implemented RunControlFactories
in those cases and adjusts local run, remote linux,
python and nim to take advantage.

There's more potential use downstream.
