Implement default __ne__ and __eq__ for all PySide types
PySide types have been following the Qt implementation of comparisons, completely. This is not correct for Python, because the Python default has the operators `==` and `!=` at least. They are needed for tests like `obj in collection`. We fix this by redirecting the default case to `PyBaseObject_Type.tp_richcompare`. This is the correct way to fix it, because for types which do not define `tp_richcompare', this is the default, anyway. From the original patch, the test case is still in use. Old message: Implement __ne__ and __eq__ for QTreeWidgetItem Testing if a QTreeWidgetItem belongs to a list raises a NotImplementedError. I have exposed the operator== and the operator!= from C++ to shiboken which has solved our eq operator issue. Implemented the test from PYSIDE-74 for the QTreeWidgetItem eq operator and the ne operator. This also allows us to have the behavior "QTreeWidgetItem in ['a']" and "QTreeWidgetItem not in ['a']".

We also tried an alternative implementation with a ``qApp()`` function that was more *pythonic*
and problem free, but many people liked the ``qApp`` macro better for its brevity, so here it is.

+Rich Comparison
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There was a long-standing bug in the ``tp_richcompare`` implementation of PySide classes.
+
+* When a class did not implement it, the default implementation of ``object`` is used.
+ This implements ``==`` and ``!=`` like the ``is`` operator.
+
+* When a class implements only a single function like ``<``, then the default implementation
+ was disabled, and expressions like ``obj in sequence`` failed with ``NotImplemented``.
+
+This oversight was fixed in version 5.15.1 .
