Make the roleNames a virtual accessor.

This is consistent with the rest of the API of QAbstractItemModel
(which is virtual) and removes the need for code like this
in the constructor (where it doesn't belong):

QHash<int, QByteArray> myRoleNames = roleNames();
myRoleNames.insert(Qt::UserRole + 1, "myCustomRole");
setRoleNames(myRoleNames);

in favor of

MyModel::roleNames() const {
  QHash<int, QByteArray> myRoleNames = QAbstractItemModel::roleNames();
  myRoleNames.insert(Qt::UserRole + 1, "myCustomRole");
  return myRoleNames;
}

which is consistent with all other QAIM API (eg, flags()).

This is a source compatible change.
