add cross-platform tablet->mouse event synth; enable on Android

It's urgent to fix the issue that on Android, it became impossible
to interact with any widget or MouseArea which handles only mouse
events but not tablet events, using the stylus, because stylus events
are sent only as QTabletEvents.  Before 5.6 (change
01d78ba86a631386a4d47b7c12d2a359da28f517) they were sent as
touch events, and mouse events were synthesized from those.  Whereas
on other platforms, every QTabletEvent is followed by a synthesized
QMouseEvent.

This fix proceeds in the direction that event synthesis should be done
in cross-platform code so that platform plugins don't have to repeat it,
following the same pattern as for touch->mouse synthesis.  Just as
in that case, the application can disable it, and the platform plugin
can also report that it's unnecessary for Qt to do the synthesis
because the platform already does.

So QTBUG-51618 is fixed, but QTBUG-47007 requires us to remove the
tablet->mouse synthesis from all platform plugins, because the plugin
does not know whether the tablet event was accepted or not, so it does
not have enough information to decide whether to synthesize a mouse
event.  Synthesis has been unconditional until now, which contradicts
what the documentation says: the mouse event should be sent only if
the tablet event is NOT accepted.  We can now gradually make this
promise come true.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][Tablet support] A synthetic mouse event will
no longer be sent after every QTabletEvent, only after those which are
not accepted (as documented).
