QTextDocument: add setLayoutEnabled()

This allows to set up everything first - without paying for layouting
at every step - and only then trigger layouting.

Same performance behavior as setTextWidth(0), but this is a more
explicit/readable API.

+    \property QTextDocument::layoutEnabled
+    \since 6.4
+    \brief whether QTextDocument should recalculate the layout after every change
+
+    If this property is set to true, any change triggers a laying out of the
+    document, which makes everything work as expected, but takes time.
+
+    Temporarily disabling the layout process can save time when making multiple changes
+    (not just text content, but also default font, default text option....)
+    so that the document is only laid out once in the end. This can be useful when the
+    text width or page size isn't yet known, for instance.
+
+    By default, this property is \c true.
