1. We drop _qpa completely. So, it would become qplatformbackingstore.h
2. We teach syncqt that qplatform* is special and we move them all to
a special qpa/ directory. So, instead of #include
<QtGui/private/qplatformbackingstore.h>, it will be #include
<QtGui/qpa/qplatformbackingstore.h>
3. We teach syncqt to create <QtGui/QPA> or #include <QPA> headers. (I
think we need the latter since qpa headers are not restricted to gui)
4. We teach the world that qpa is not meant for apps.
5. Add a more benign header pointing out the fact that these files are
qpa files.
6. Rename the handle() to platformXXX() since it's easy to educate
that anything that has platform in it is out of reach of app
developers.
