Deprecate QString::null

It's a Qt 3 compatibility vehicle, and as such inherits the now-alien
property to distinguish empty and null strings. Particularly worrisome
is the following asymmetry:

   QString("") == QString::null          // false
   QString("") == QString(QString::null) // true

Instead of fixing this behavior, recognize that people might use it as
a weird way to call isNull(), albeit one that once was idiomatic, and
simply deprecate everything that deals with QString::null.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QString] QString::null is now deprecated. When
used to construct a QString, use QString() instead. When used to
compare to a QString, replace with QString::isNull().
