Sona Kurazyan dfaca09e85 Add support for attaching continuations to QFuture
Added QFuture::then() methods to allow chaining multiple asynchronous
computations.

Continuations can use the following execution policies:

* QtFuture::Launch::Sync - the continuation will be launched in the same
thread in which the parent has been executing.

* QtFuture::Launch::Async - the continuation will be launched in a new
thread.

* QtFuture::Launch::Inherit - the continuation will inherit the launch
policy of the parent, or its thread pool (if it was using a custom one).

* Additionally then() also accepts a custom QThreadPool* instance.

Note, that if the parent future gets canceled, its continuation(s) will
be also canceled.

If the parent throws an exception, it will be propagated to the
continuation's future, unless it is caught inside the continuation
(if it has a QFuture arg).

Some example usages:

 QFuture<int> future = ...;
 future.then([](int res1){ ... }).then([](int res2){ ... })...

 QFuture<int> future = ...;
 future.then([](QFuture<int> fut1){ /* do something with fut1 */ })...

In the examples above all continuations will run in the same thread as
future.

 QFuture<int> future = ...;
 future.then(QtFuture::Launch::Async, [](int res1){ ... })
       .then([](int res2){ ... })..

In this example the continuations will run in a new thread (but on the
same one).

 QThreadPool pool;
 QFuture<int> future = ...;
 future.then(&pool, [](int res1){ ... })
       .then([](int res2){ ... })..

In this example the continuations will run in the given thread pool.

[ChangeLog][QtCore] Added support for attaching continuations to QFuture.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. 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.
