qwindowsmime.cpp: support dropping multiple mail attachments
Only the data for the first file could be reached with the mimetype application/x-qt-windows-mime;value="FileContents" To get the data for the other files, setting the lindex field of the FORMATETC struct is necessary. Provide support for that by appending ;index=N to the mimetype string. The Windows API provides no generic way to find out how many of these are available (the app has to find out by looking into the FILEGROUPDESCRIPTORW structure, for this particular use case), so these additional mimetypes are not listed in QMimeData::formats(). However this patch extends the documentation to mention the feature. [ChangeLog][Platform Specific Changes][Windows][QMimeData] Add support for handling dropping of multiple mail attachments, adding ;index=N to the mimetype string application/x-qt-windows-mime;value="FileContents" Task-number: QTBUG-17373 Change-Id: I031e477d2357b4e5135d2dcd3e3cf991025715a5 Reviewed-by: Andy Shaw <andy.shaw@digia.com> Reviewed-by: Friedemann Kleint <Friedemann.Kleint@theqtcompany.com>

On Windows, the MIME format does not always map directly to the
clipboard formats. Qt provides QWinMime to map clipboard
formats to open-standard MIME formats. Similarly, the
