QHash/QMap: don't return const from value(), key()
... it breaks move semantics. We can change these, since they're templates and a short survey shows that no-one in Qt was crazy enough to inherit an exported class from QHash or QMap. Otherwise this would be BiC on MSVC, which encodes the return type. There's also no safety benefit here, as none of the overloads returns by reference, so users cannot expect map.value(key).mutate() to have an effect on the element in the container. In this, key() and value() differ from op[], which also returns const, but whose overload returns a reference. op[] is therefore not proposed here. [ChangeLog][QtCore][QHash/QMultiHash/QMap/QMultiMap] The value() and key() member functions now return T (was: const T), enabling move semantics on their return values.
