Giuseppe D'Angelo 6a93ec2435 QAtomic: remove the copy ctor and assignment operator
These special member functions have no purpose.

We never *documented* their semantics. Any code using them is
unconditionally wrong (which semantics was it assuming?), so we can
accept the SIC (type A). If a user needs such a copy, they would have to
reason on the intended semantics (relaxed? acquire/release?) and be
explicit in their code. Especially for assignment, they would need
understand the consequences of the memory ordering that apply on _each_
atomic object involved and not on the assignment operation as a whole
(there are no such semantics).

Testing this change on qtbase has already found bugs.

From a purely technical point of view: we don't guarantee lock-free
atomics nor we require them from the underlying platform. An atomic is
therefore allowed to be implemented as a mutex protecting a value, and
mutexes are not copiable. std::atomic follows the exactly same pattern
(not copiable nor copy-assignable) for exactly the same reasons, and Qt
atomics are implemented on top of std:: ones.

[ChangeLog][QtCore] The copy constructor and assignment operators of
Qt atomic classes (QAtomicInteger, QAtomicPointer) have been removed.
Their usage in user code should be considered a programming error, as no
memory ordering semantics were ever documented for these operations (and
therefore relying on any specific semantic would be relying on
undocumented, unportable behavior). This matches the API of the
std::atomic class in C++. Note that you can still use explicit
load/store operations to transfer a value across two Qt atomic objects,
and therefore use the memory ordering specified for the load/store
operations.

README

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.
