... instead of raw pointers or QSharedPointer.
Raw pointers are, of course, a no-no in modern code. In particular,
when the result is then held in shared_ptr or QSharedPointer,
make_shared or QSharedPointer::create() should be used to reduce
number of memory allocations.
Since this is private API, we're free to use std::shared_ptr, which
does only half the atomic operations on copies, compared to
QSharedPointer, so is more efficient.
For either make_shared or QSharedPointer::create(), we need to work
around the private ctor, which we do by inheriting a member-function
local class from QColorTrcLut and make_shared'ing that. As a
member-function-local class, it has access to the otherwise private
parts of QColorTrcLut, including its default constructor. As a public
subclass, shared_ptr has no problem performing the derived-to-base
pointer adjustment in the return statement. This way, we can use
make_shared even though our target's class' ctor is private.
