Teach syncqt to filter out QT_DEPRECATED_* macros

We already had code that filtered out QT_DEPRECATED_X("text").  But that
isn't enough, because, by now, we have a true cornucopia of
QT_DEPRECATED_* macros.  And only some are called with an argument list.

Move the filtering code into the subroutine filterDeprecationMacros,
because our filtering is slightly more complex now:

- Try to match a QT_DEPRECATED_* macro call.
- Try to match balanced parentheses with a recursive regular expression.
- Check whether the found balanced parentheses are directly behind
  QT_DEPRECATED_*, because only then it is the argument list of that
  macro.
- Filter out what we've found.

With this patch, syncqt doesn't discard deprecated classes anymore.
