Some item views, such as QListView in icon mode, implement a selection
rectangle with which the user can "lasso" items. So far, dragging that
rectangle did not trigger auto scroll, so unless an item near the edge
was selected, the user had to stop the lassoing and scroll manually to
reach more items.
Since QAbtractItemView implements auto scrolling for drag'n'drop, we can
use that mechanism also when the selection rectangle is dragged. This
requires some modifications:
We need to make sure that scrolling the view during a drag-selection
generates mouse move events so that the selection is extended and the
rectangle is updated in subclasses.
And we need to stop using QCursor::pos to get the position of the mouse
pointer, as this makes the auto-scrolling untestable. Instead, record
the mouse position last seen during a mouseMove or dragMoveEvent in
content-coordinates (identical to pressedPosition).
As a drive-by, fix some coding-style issues in nearby code.
