[Development] Branch request: wip/itemviews in qtdeclarative

[Filippo Cucchetto]

Getting back to the real topic some thoughts about the current state of the
ItemViews and what we need
- TableView with horizontal virtualization
- TableViews probably should do column delegate caching
- Decide if we should go back to basic integer row/column fields (exposed
to delegates) or use QModelIndexes
This is important and could have big impacts on the design and api.
- Connected to the previous point we should decide if we want to make
QAbstractModel of QObject* first citizens
or not. In particular i found envaluable the design exposed by Stephen
Kelly here https://conf.qtcon.org/en/qtcon/public/events/355
Look at the video (
http://mirrors.fe.up.pt/kde-applicationdata/akademy/2016/355_how_to_interface_nonqt_model_code_with_qml.mp4)

 at time 18:26. Where the QModelIndexes are wrapped inside a QObject.
- The current way to expose data to the QML view delegates is inflexible
due to QAIM::roleNames(). First is not possible to emit a roleNamesChanged
without resetting the model. Second if the model contains a list
heterogeneous data the roleNames() should return a QMap that is the union
of all
the possible fields. For overcoming this problems most of the users return
a QObject*. This solution allows dynamic roleNames and remove the need
for writing lots of QAIM
