QGraphicsScene: respect that items can override selection changes

QGraphicsItems may override itemChange to prevent certain attribute
changes. Overriding ItemSelectedChange this way is explicitly documented
to be allowed.

However QGraphicsScene::clearSelection did not test whether items were
in fact deselected after the call to setSelection, and always cleared
the stored set of selected items.

Fix this by checking the actual selected state of the item as we iterate
over them, and store those items that are still selected in a set that
becomes the new selectedItems set (which will be empty if no item
overrides, which is the default).

Add a test that also checks that clearing the selection emits the
selectionChanged signal correctly (and does not if all selected items
block being deselected).

Fixes: QTBUG-85474
Pick-to: 6.4 6.3 6.2
