qqmlapplicationengine: Handle errors during component creation

Previously QQmlApplicationEngine did not handle any errors that occurred during object creation
(i.e. failures to initialize required properties) which lead to QObject::connect errors and to
the error messages not getting printed among other issues.

Pick-to: 5.15 6.0 6.1
