[Development] QImage::transformed returns shallow copy for QTransform::TxNone matrix type.

[Tomasz Olszak]

QTransform m.
img.transformed(m).copy()

will create one copy. But:

QTransform m.
m.rotate(10);
img.transformed(m).copy()

will copy image twice; On embedded device, if you do some video decoding it
is a problem :)
