[Qt-qml] Sleeping in javascript

[Alex]

Thanks for the suggestion, Mat.  I created a javascript component that
sequences an arbitrary set of animations.  In some cases, I need to
wait until an animation completes and then pause for some time before
executing the next one.  I was hoping that there would be a clean
imperative way of doing that.

I considered using the Timer approach, but in the end it made more
sense to use PauseAnimation and just treat it as the next animation to
be run immediately after the previous one and then wait for its
completion.

Cheers,
Alex
