[Development] Qt 5.4.0 header diff

[Heikkinen Jani]

We fixed quite many tests because of that ☹. When we did the change we didn’t understood the importance of keeping header length constant…

But now we know ;)

Done.

The old header was actually 41 lines long. I had the threshold for "this is
the header" at 40 lines.

When I was looking after license headers, I kept the number of lines fixed, which often resulted in there being blank lines at the bottom of the header.

One of the problems I found if the number of lines changed was that a bunch of translation autotests broke, as the line numbers were important in those tests.  It was a lot less work to keep the length of the headers constant.

That was in the Qt 4.x days though, where breaking those tests would have caused an immediate CI failure in the monolithic repo.

Did someone fix those tests when license header length changed, or are those tests more clever about line numbers now?
