Itemviews: start fixing mixups of int/enum for Qt's item roles

A model is supposed to return a Qt::CheckState for a CheckStateRole,
and a Qt::Alignment for a Qt::TextAlignmentRole. This is what the
documentation says (and what makes sense), but unfortunately
Qt's default delegate expected a plain `int` instead.
This sometimes worked (via QVariant conversions, e.g. when using a plain
enum) and sometimes didn't (e.g. when using a flag type).

This is confusing for end-users (and type unsafe, killing the whole
point of using enums and flags in the first place).

Adding some automatic flags<->int conversions through QVariant is
frowned upon, so I don't want to go there. Instead, add some private
convenience functions that extract either the right type from a variant,
or try to extract an `int` and convert it to the expected type.

Use these from within itemviews code.
