Add an advisory interruption mechanism to QThread.

To ease interruption of long running tasks, a new method
QThread::setInterruptionRequested() can be called.
The task can check QThread::isInterruptionRequested()
and act upon it by stopping itself.

These methods are designed to replace the use of a global variable
and other hacky ways to stop a task running in another thread.
