Reintroduce converter APIs for supporting native clipboard formats
In Qt 5, QWin(dows)Mime and QMacMime lived in the respective Extras
modules, which were removed and partially folded into the relevant
modules in Qt. QWindowsMime and QMacMime continued to provide the
abstraction for implementing built-in support for native clipboard
formats and UTIs within Qt, but only as private APIs.
After the recent clean up of those APIs and respective infrastructure,
we can now bring them back as public converter interfaces. Application
developers can subclass those and instantiate an instance of their
implementation to add support for platform or application specific
data formats.
These interfaces are not in the QNativeInterface namespace, as
applications don't call into Windows or macOS using those interfaces.
I.e. there is no class on which an application would call
auto *converter= nativeInterface<QWindowsMimeConverter>();
Also, since applications override those converter types, we do want to
guarantee binary and source compatibility.
[ChangeLog][QtGui][QWindowsMimeConverter] Reintroduced to allow
applications to add support for conversion from and to Windows-native
clipboard formats to MIME-encoded data.
[ChangeLog][QtGui][QUtiMimeConverter] Reintroduced to allow
applications to add support for conversion from and to clipboard data on
macOS and iOS to MIME-encoded data.
Fixes: QTBUG-93632
