Add Q_OBJECT_BINDABLE_PROPERTY() macro that can be used to define
a bindable property inside QObject.
The macro and the class behind it creates storage for a property
that is bindable inside a QObject or QObjectPrivate. The property
only uses as much space as the data contained, ie. it has no
storage overhead, as long as no bindings are being used.
Bindings are being stored and looked up in the QBindingStorage
associated with the owning object.

We can end up in a situation where a (soon to be destroyed) observer is
owned by a binding which is about to be deleted. If in that situation
the binding is destroyed first, we end up with a dangling pointer
and ensuing memory corruption. Instead, we now first transfer the
ownership of the observer and only destroy the binding afterwards.

Avoid any QVariant or type dependent code in the cpp files.
Instead, let the binding wrapper determine if the value

There's no point in returning a usually empty error when
evaluating bindings, adding overhead to the regular code
path.
Instead, the error can be set on the currently evaluating
binding if required. This streamlines the functor used to
wrap the binding and should thus expand to less code and
execute faster in the regular case.
To achieve this, expose a pointer to the currently evaluating
binding in the private API (as QtQml needs it to be able to
report errors).
The error case now requires one additional TLS lookup, but
we don't really care about performance in that case anyway.

Adding support for a static notifier within QProperty itself - through a

A guard callback is a predicate which takes the new value set by
setValue or computed as the result of a binding expression. If it
returns false, the value is discarded and the old value is kept.
Note that due to lazyness, when setting a binding, we still notify
everyone as the binding is only evaluated on demand, and the guard can
thus only run when someone actually queries the value.
Note further that a guard is allowed to modify the value that is passed
to it (e.g. to clamp it to a certain range).

A common pattern in Qt Quick will be QProperty members that are
connected to a callback that needs to perform something when the value
changes, for example emitting a compatibility signal or marking scene
graph node data dirty.
To make such a pattern more efficient, a new QNotifiedProperty type is
introduced that offers the same API as QProperty<T>, with two changes:
(1) The template instantiation not only takes the property type as
parameter but also a callback pointer-to-member.
(2) Since that member itself cannot be called without an instance
and to avoid storing an instance pointer permanently, the API for
setBinding and setValue are adjusted to also take the instance
pointer. For the former it gets stored in the binding, for the
latter it is used to invoke the callback after setting the new
value.

When a class has multiple QProperty members to implement functionality,
it is common to have functions in the class that react to changes. For
example to emit a compatibility signal, in case of Qt Quick to mark the
scene graph as dirty, etc. etc.
To faciliate this use-case, this patch adds an internal
QPropertyMemberChangeHandler template that allows connecting a QProperty
field to a member function callback.
At the moment that callback is still 3 * sizeof(pointer). This could in
theory be reduced to 2 by eliminating the back-pointer (prev) as the
observer lives as long as the property. That however belongs into maybe
a future patch.
In order to get a pointer back to the surrounding object that holds the
QProperty as well as provides the callback function, the property system
was changed to pass through the address of the QProperty member at
run-time, and at compile time the delta from the QProperty member to the
beginning of the surrounding class is calculated. Through subtraction we
obtain the pointer to the owning object.

QtQml needs the private just for one detail which nobody else should
need it for: Tracking additional dependencies and marking the binding as
dirty. Exporting the private requires hiding some variables and
providing accessors, to compile with MSVC - including the removal of
QVarLengthArray usage. Upside: The binding structure shrinks by 8 bytes
and the encapsulation makes it a little easier to change things without
breaking declarative, ... in the unlikely event ;-)
Also remove setDirty() from the public API as it's not needed by QtQml
and using it is dangerous, because it means that there's a risk of
somebody keeping a reference (count) to the untyped binding from within
the binding closure, which introduces a memory leak.
