    Add declarative QQuickTextMetrics API from QQuickFontMetrics invokables · 94669499

    This allows use of a declarative API for the functions in QFontMetricsF
    which take parameters. This solves the problem of QML expressions that
    use QML methods not being re-evaluated when the internal data changes,
    by allowing the user to set the arguments as properties of a
    TextMetrics object, that would otherwise have to be passed to QML
    methods.
    
    For example:
    
        FontMetrics {
            id: fontMetrics
        }
    
        property rect r: fontMetrics.boundingRect("Blah")
    
    At some point, the font of the FontMetrics object is changed, but r
    will still represent the original bounding rect. Instead, the user will
    now write:
    
        TextMetrics {
            id: textMetrics
            text: "Blah"
        }
    
        property rect r: textMetrics.boundingRect
    
    The QML methods remain in QQuickFontMetrics for those who need an
    imperative API.
    
    [ChangeLog][QtQuick] Added QQuickTextMetrics, which provides a
    declarative API for the functions in QFontMetricsF which take
    arguments.
