Subject: Improve QTextDocumentPrivate cursor performance

The cursors in QTextDocumentPrivate are held in a QList.
This becomes a serious performance problem with lots of
extra selections due to a call to
QTextDocumentPrivate::removeCursor() from the QTextCursor
destructor.

Given the following test program:

    QPlainTextEdit *editor = ...
    std::list< QTextCursor> list;
    for(int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i) {
    QTextCursor c(editor->document());
    c.setPosition(std::rand()%100);
    list.push_front(c);
    }
    list.clear(); // <-- clear calls hangs for 3+ seconds
                  // due to time spent in
                  // QTextDocumentPrivate::removeCursor()
                  // due to QList::removeAll() call

Note the push_front because it exacerbates the issue because
the entire list will be traversed.

The change submitted changes the structure to a set,
removing the issue.
In theory, this limits that a cursors cannot be in the
structure twice, but this neither happens nor would it make sense.
