Deliver Quit event when calling QCoreApplication::quit()

Instead of QCoreApplication::quit() directly calling exit(0), which would
leave QGuiApplication and client code out of the loop, we now send the
Quit event, and let it pass through event delivery, before finally ending
up in QCoreApplication::event(), where we call exit(0).

This has the advantage that QGuiApplication can ensure all windows are
closed before quitting, and if any of those windows ignore the close
event the quit will be aborted. This aligns the behavior of synthetic
quits via QCoreApplication::quit() with spontaneous quits from the
platform via QGuiApplicationPrivate::processApplicationTermination.

Clients who wish to exit the application without any event delivery or
potential user interaction can call the lower level exit() function
directly.

[ChangeLog][QtGui] Application termination via qApp->quit() will now
deliver Quit events to the application, which in turn will result in
application windows being closed as part of the application quit,
with an option to cancel the application quit by ignoring the close
event. Clients who explicitly want to exit the application without
any user interaction should call QCoreApplication::exit() explicitly.
