Kent Hansen 3f7a222414 Change the representation of meta-object string data
Up to and including meta-object revision 6, string data have been
stored as 0-terminated C-style strings, that were made directly
accessible as const char pointers through the public API
(QMetaMethod and friends).

This commit changes moc to generate an array of QByteArrayData
instead, and adapts the QObject kernel accordingly.

Generating an array of QByteArrayData (byte array literals)
means that the strings can now be returned from public (or private)
API as QByteArrays, rather than const char *, with zero allocation or
copying. Also, the string length is now computed at compile time
(it's part of the QByteArrayData).

This commit only changes the internal representation, and does
not affect existing public API. The actual (C) string data that the
byte array literals reference still consists of zero-terminated
strings. The benefit of having the QByteArrayData array will only
become apparent in the upcoming meta-object data format change, which
changes the format of property and method descriptors.

Support for the old meta-object string data format was kept; the
codepaths for old revisions (6 and below) will be removed in a
separate commit, once all the other meta-object changes are done and
affected code has been adapted accordingly.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on QTestlib. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
