Make QEvent::setAccepted() virtual; set QEventPoints state the same

In Qt Quick, when we deliver an item-specific QTouchEvent that contains
only the subset of eventpoints that are inside the Item's bounds,
traditionally the Item can accept the event to tell the delivery logic
that the event is handled and doesn't need to be delivered further.
But an Item cannot be expected to have total scene awareness; so now,
the delivery is "done" only when all eventpoints in the original event
are accepted.  This behavior has been working well enough already due to
logic in QQuickWindow that iterates the points and accepts them if the
event is accepted; but it seems appropriate to move this enforcement
into QPointerEvent itself.  Making setAccepted() virtual gives us a
useful degree of freedom.

Event-handling code should alternatively use QEventPoint:setAccepted()
or QPointerEvent::setExclusiveGrabber() to take resonsibility for only
a subset of the touchpoints.

Another way to put it is that we treat QPointerEvent::setAccepted() as a
convenience method: accepting the QEventPoints is what counts (at least
in Qt Quick).
