[Development] Qt 5.5.0 header diff: QtDeclarative.diff

[Alan Alpert]

I started working on something that would diff QML API changes a while
ago: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/52625/

It's a little tricky, but it basically is just diffing the
plugins.qmltypes files. After regenerating them and having old "full"
copies because of the manual editing that occurs sometimes. And you
need to diff the parsed tree because the order of lines changes
sometimes. But I suppose the biggest hurdle to getting that tool in is
that I wanted it to run as an autotest and fail if new symbols appear
which aren't properly versioned (a little more work than just listing
changes).
