Make QElapsedTimer default to invalid (and now non-POD).
The practical uses of a POD QElapsedTimer are not really that clear, and the number of misuses of this API are quite high. Default the state to invalid to prevent against mistakes. [ChangeLog][QtCore][QElapsedTimer] Is no longer a POD. Change-Id: I267292acf2bfca7404e3e449dd04410441d7ce26 Reviewed-by: Lars Knoll <lars.knoll@digia.com>

and then starting the timer again with start(), but it does so in one
single operation, avoiding the need to obtain the clock value twice.
+ Restarting the timer makes it valid again.

The following example illustrates how to use this function to calibrate a
parameter to a slow operation (for example, an iteration count) so that
this operation takes at least 250 milliseconds:
