Background:
It is often necessary/advisable to schedule tasks on thread pools !=
globalInstance(). As Herb Sutter writes in
http://www.drdobbs.com/parallel/use-thread-pools-correctly-keep-tasks-sh/216500409
and the Qt Training Material stresses, tasks you schedule on a (global)
thread pool should be non-blocking, which currently rules out using any of
the QtConcurrent functions for, say, file I/O.
Nonetheless it's often convenient to have thread pools also for file I/O, as
the thumbnail viewer exercise in the Qt Training Material shows. In this
case, you'd use a dedicated thead pool, leaving the global thread pool for
CPU-bound tasks.
Yet, none of the QtConcurrent functions allow to pick the QThreadPool
instance on which to schedule the work created with them.
This patch prepares for them to do so.
This is the first part of the forward-port of
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/merge_requests/1281.
Implement by using a new QThreadPool* member that defaults to nullptr,
and adding setThreadPool to set this member, then using it in lieu of
QThreadPool::globalInstance() everywhere.
I chose to leave m_pool == nullptr to mean globalInstance() to avoid
creating the global instance whenever a QFuture is created, even if the
future represents the result of a calculation not run on the global thread
pool.
[ChangeLog][QtCore][QFuture] Can now be used with any QThreadPool, not
just globalInstance().

Remove all trailing whitespace from the following list of files:
*.cpp *.h *.conf *.qdoc *.pro *.pri *.mm *.rc *.pl *.qps *.xpm *.txt *README
excluding 3rdparty, test-data and auto generated code.
Note A): the only non 3rdparty c++-files that still
have trailing whitespace after this change are:
* src/corelib/codecs/cp949codetbl_p.h
* src/corelib/codecs/qjpunicode.cpp
* src/corelib/codecs/qbig5codec.cpp
* src/corelib/xml/qxmlstream_p.h
* src/tools/qdoc/qmlparser/qqmljsgrammar.cpp
* src/tools/uic/ui4.cpp
* tests/auto/other/qtokenautomaton/tokenizers/*
* tests/benchmarks/corelib/tools/qstring/data.cpp
* util/lexgen/tokenizer.cpp
Note B): in about 30 files some overlapping 'leading tab' and
'TAB character in non-leading whitespace' issues have been fixed
to make the sanity bot happy. Plus some general ws-fixes here
and there as asked for during review.

To avoid leaking when converting a QFuture<T> to a QFuture<void> we need
to have a separate ref. counter for QFuture<T>. When the last QFuture<T>
goes out of scope, we need to clean out the result data.

This class belongs to QThreadPool/QRunnable more than to QtConcurrent, so
move to QtCore, where QThreadPool awaits it.
