Jüri Valdmann f43e947dc4 QJsonDocument: Make emptyObject an object
A default-constructed QJsonObject has no data payload, it is only a pair of null
pointers. So, when it becomes necessary to 'materialize' such an object, a
special global emptyObject constant is used as the substitute payload. There is
a small problem with this global constant though, namely that it's is_object
flag is unset. In other words, the emptyObject is not an object, but an array.

Fix by setting the is_object flag on emptyObject.

The example code in the bug report

    QJsonObject parent;
    QJsonObject child;
    parent["child"] = child;              // 1
    child = parent["child"].toObject();   // 2
    child["test"] = "test";               // 3

runs into this problem on line 1. Inserting the default-constructed child means
inserting a copy of emptyObject. On line 2 a pointer to this copy of emptyObject
is retrieved and cast to an object. But it's not an object, it's an array, so
things go wrong hereafter.

Specifically, on line 3, two inserts are performed, one from operator[] and one
from operator=. Each insert increments a compaction counter. The second insert
triggers compaction (QJsonObject::insert calls Value::requiredStorage calls
Data::compact) and compaction branches based on the is_object flag. Replacing
line 3 with

    child.insert("test", "test");

causes the example to appear to work since compaction is not triggered and the
JSON serializer does not look at the is_object flag. Still, any further insert()
calls would trigger compaction and memory corruption.

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.
