qdoc: Allow using group name as a QHP subproject selector

QDoc already recognized "group" as a document type selector, but provided no
way of defining which group the members should be selected from.

This commit adds that feature, by allowing 'group:groupname' as a selector.
All members (from the local tree) of the specified group are added to the
subproject.

Introduce up-to-date selector names for QML types and documentation pages,
but keep the old legacy names for compatibility.

Add documentation for the selectors.

-    Instead of hard-coding information about the documentation sets for Qt,

+
+    The \c selectors property specifies which page types are listed under the
+    table of contents entry for a subproject. Multiple selectors can be listed,
+    separated by whitespace.
