[Qt-qml] QML Action element

[Tomas Junnonen]

This is an artifact of the Qt Components MeeGo style still calling into 
libmeegotouch which has an action based API, the Action might be removed 
in the future. If you go for a straight QML approach I think Item based 
toolbars and menus are nicer to work with.

Regards,
Tomas
