Clean up QScreen::grabWindow()

Handle 0 WId parameter as meaning "desktop window"/whole screen.
Also, re-add the default values for the grab area, both for
convenience and compatibility with QPixmap::grabWindow() in Qt4.
Update the screenshot example so it doesn't comlain about usage of
deprecated QPixmap::grabWindow().

We take the screenshot using the static QPixmap::grabWindow()
Using the static function QApplication::primaryScreen(), we
obtain the QScreen object for the application's main screen.
We take the screenshot using the QScreen::grabWindow()
function. The function grabs the contents of the window passed as
an argument, makes a pixmap out of it and returns that pixmap.
We identify the argument window using the QWidget::winID()
function which returns the window system identifier. Here it
returns the identifier of the current QDesktopWidget retrieved by
the QApplication::desktop() function. The QDesktopWidget class
provides access to screen information, and inherits
QWidget::winID().
The window id can be obtained with QWidget::winId() or QWindow::winId().
Here, however, we just pass 0 as the window id, indicating that we
want to grab the entire screen.
We update the screenshot preview label using the private \c
updateScreenshotLabel() function. Then we enable the \uicontrol {New
