QML Object Repeater

The QmlObjectRepeater class implements a repeater for QObject-based objects in QML. Unlike QQuickRepeater which only works for QtQuick items the QmlObjectRepeater also works for non-graphical QML applications without requiring the QtQuick module at all.

The implementation is based on QQuickRepeater and is nearly identical. It only eliminates the QtQuick specifics and adds missing API parts originally inherited from QQuickItem.
