QStateMachine: add defaultTransition in QHistoryState

The history state had the limitation that it was hard (or impossible) to
use when more than one default state had to be entered. For example,
using it in a parallel state was impossible without ending up in an
infinite loop.

This patch changes the QHistoryState to only have an initial transition,
and the state selection algorithm is changed accordingly. It also brings
QStateMachine closer to the SCXML standard.

The existing defaultState is implemented on top of the
defaultTransition: when used, a new transition, with the default state as
its target, is set as the defaultTransition.
