Introduce hook for text cursor changes in QTextEdit and QPlainTextEdit

Currently it is hard for Q{Plain}TextEdit subclasses to keep track
of changes of the text cursor by direct calls to setTextCursor from
arbitrary code. By redirecting the setTextCursor to a virtual
function subclasses get the chance to intercept such calls.
