Support non-desktop platforms better with QDragManager.

By default QDragManager brings in a number of "desktopisms" (e.g. that
a drag is always controlled by mouse events, can be cancelled with some
key press, etc.), these assumptions are not necessarily suitable for
all QPA platforms. Therefore there has to be a way to disable this
built-in event handling, and let the QPlaformDrag decide how the drag
is controlled and when it ends.
