Ivan Solovev 5ddb5d1fee Rework imagescaling example to avoid potential crashes
Creating a continuation with QtFuture::Launch::Async policy does not
work well with the example, because it still needs to update the UI
once the async continuation is finished. If the user decides to
close the application while the async continuation is executed,
the next continuation will be accessing data from the destroyed
Images object.

Fix it by using QtConcurrent::run() to do the "heavy" work in a
separate thread, and use a QFutureWatcher to handle the results of
the async execution. Update the example documentation accordingly.

After this patch the example still shows the usage of continuations
and onCanceled()/onFailed() handlers. However, it now does not
illustrate the usage of different launch policies and continuation
contexts. It might not be a big issue, because the QFuture
documentation describes these topics rather extensively.

Fixes: QTBUG-103514
Pick-to: 6.5

README

Qt is supplied with a number of example applications that have been
written to provide developers with examples of the Qt API in use,
highlight good programming practice, and showcase features found in each of
Qt's core technologies.


Documentation for examples can be found in the Examples section
of the Qt documentation.
