[Development] Qt API review with clazy

[Martin Smith]

There is a flag that tells clang to keep going when it can't find something or encounters too many errors, but it is in clang 3.9.

I haven't been able to use clang-tidy on big qmake projects such as Qt, it
either crashes or stops with "include not found" errors. It also requires an
intermediate step, where you generate a "compiler command database" file with
yet another tool [1]

clazy, otoh, is a compiler plugin, it integrates with your normal compilation
run, you don't have to run any more tools after doing "make" as you usually
do.

Enabling clazy is just a matter of modifying your CXX flags,  which you can
easily do with qmake or mkspec. Or ENABLE_CLAZY in CMake if you're building
KDE.
