[Development] optimizing QComposeInputContext / TableGenerator?

[Paeglis Gatis]

Hi,

The idea is to move the compose file reading code out of Qt. libxkbcommon 5.0 (released on 2014-10-18 [1]) added support
for the compose keys. I did look at the new API already in October [2]. It should be simple enough to remove the table generation code and use xkbcommon's API instead. I have not done any benchmarking because I never got around to finishing that patch. 

There are several projects that use xkbcommon (Wayland, GTK), so we can benefit from the optimizations done by others if we
use this new API. Also if somebody has suggestions for improvements, those should be done in [3].

xdg at freedesktop.org. I think I can easily convince the EFL folks for this.
