QFactoryLoader: Add API for supporting the metadata containing keys.

- Add a method returning a QMultiMap<int index, QString key>
  to QFactoryLoader, determined from metadata(), correctly
  reflecting the data structure ('Keys' being a list)
- Add convenience templates to create plugins via factory
  interfaces
