[Development] Please don't use "Private" in namespaces used in inline code

[Thiago Macieira]

I'd like to suggest a rule for new code, to be enforced in all code in Qt 6:

namespaces for implementation that isn't meant to be called directly should 
use a different keyword than "Private" in the name. Please use "Internal", 
"Impl", "Implementation", "Detail", etc.

Please leave "Private" *only* for private API, not meant to be ever accessed 
by the user, unless the user includes a _p.h header.

I was trying to tag everything with "Private" in the name as Qt_5_PRIVATE_API 
but it kept tagging everything, until I noticed:

	QtPrivate::QStringList_join
	QtPrivate::QContainerImplHelper::mid
	QtMetaTypePrivate::QSequentialIterableImpl
	QtPrivate::AbstractConverterFunction
	QQmlPrivate::qmlregister

Those make it impossible to simply put "*Private*" in the ELF version list and 
there's no way to add exceptions to the list.
