Added input hints to QGraphicsItem.

This patch allows for input hints to be set on a QGraphicsItem.
Input methods use such hints to define its appearance/behavior
(e.g. to allow for numerical input only).

+    \enum Qt::InputMethodHint
+
+    \value ImhNone                   No hints.
+    \value ImhHiddenText             Characters should be hidden, as is typically used when entering passwords.
+                                     This is automatically set when setting QLineEdit::echoMode to \c Password.
+    \value ImhNumbersOnly            Only number input is allowed.
+    \value ImhUppercaseOnly          Only upper case letter input is allowed.
+    \value ImhLowercaseOnly          Only lower case letter input is allowed.
+    \value ImhNoAutoUppercase        The input method should not try to automatically switch to upper case
+                                     when a sentence ends.
+    \value ImhPreferNumbers          Numbers are preferred (but not required).
+    \value ImhPreferUppercase        Upper case letters are preferred (but not required).
+    \value ImhPreferLowercase        Lower case letters are preferred (but not required).
+    \value ImhNoPredictiveText       Do not use predictive text (i.e. dictionary lookup) while typing.
+    \value ImhDialableCharactersOnly Only characters suitable for phone dialling are allowed.
+
+    \note If several flags ending with \c Only are ORed together, the resulting character set will
+          consist of the union of the specified sets. For instance specifying \c ImhNumbersOnly and
+          \c ImhUppercaseOnly would yield a set consisting of numbers and uppercase letters.
