MSVC will export any function in an exported class, including inline
ones. Conversely: client code calling inline functions in imported
classes will end up simply calling the symbol of the function, even if
the function is fully inline.
This is a problem for adding post-C++17 APIs in Qt. Such APIs are added
as inline functions protected by feature-macro tests, so that both Qt
and client apps can use any C++ version they want (any combination
works).
However, if we add a function using post-C++17 API to an exported class,
then the combination "Qt built in C++17" + "client built in post-C++17"
won't work any more. The client will expect the symbol for that function
to be exported by Qt, but Qt won't have it (built in C++17).
As a workaround, add a marker that turns these functions into "faux
templates", like Q_WEAK_OVERLOAD does.

Like Q_NAMESPACE_EXPORT for Q_NAMESPACE, this variant of Q_GADGET
allows passing an export macro. This is useful to avoid exporting the
whole class just to get the staticMetaObject hidden therein exported.
Before anyone asks: No, we don't need Q_OBJECT_EXPORT, because QObject
subclasses, being polymorphic, always need to have a class-level
export macro (to export their vtable), but while that technique also
works for value classes (the Q_GADGET audience), it is not desirable
for them, because it makes inline functions exported in Windows debug
builds, which is not what we want, because it needlessly restricts
what you can to with the inline functions (e.g. remove).
[ChangeLog][QtCore] Added the Q_GADGET_EXPORT macro, which is like
Q_GADGET, but allows passing an export macro (like Q_NAMESPACE_EXPORT
