QAbstractItemView: Fix IM input starting edit session

Item views can open an editor widget on the first key press, and need to
take special care not to break input methods. The initial key press
starts compositing by the system input method, which is then interrupted
by the focus transfer to the editor.

To solve this problem, the widget needs to keep focus while the initial
composition is ongoing, and only transfer focus to the editor once the
composition is either accepted or cancelled by the user. Add a state flag
that is set during this initial preedit phase.

During this initial composition, the item view will receive all input
method events, and needs to forward these to the open, but not yet focused
editor for the user to get the correct visual feedback during the preedit
phase. The item view also needs to report to input method queries on
behalf of the editor to make sure that the IM UI is correctly positioned
without covering the user input.

Implement a test that simulates the sequences through synthesized
QInputMethodEvents; we can't simulate the entire system input stack.
