Make an implicit grab on TouchBegin for a widget subscribed to a gesture

A receiver of TouchUpdate and TouchEnd events is determined either
as a widget which has an implicit grab for the touch point or as a
visible widget if there are no implicit grabs. The events are sent
if the receiver has accepted TouchBegin event or if it is subscribed
to a gesture. Before sending the events to the widget they are
delivered to the gesture manager. Thus, in order to detect gestures
for the widget, it must own an implicit grab or be a visible widget.

It can happen that the parent widget is subscribed to a gesture, but
doesn't accept TouchBegin event, as in the case of QScrollArea. Then it
will not get an implicit grab and gesture detection will be impossible.

Activate an implicit grab for such widgets. Also don't send TouchUpdate
and TouchEnd to them, because it's against the documentation.
