Fix the QtQml's use of plugins for value type providers

When the QtQuick library is loaded, it runs a global constructor that
installs the QtQuick value providers. But those providers are never
uninstalled when the library is unloaded, resulting in a dangling
pointer stored in QtQml's singly-linked list of value providers.

Since cafb02911a29b98ac2652fde64e95870e70fd547, QLibrary will unload
plugins after inspecting their plugin metadata on Mac and Windows. If
QtQml is trying to load a plugin that links to QtQuick (in particular,
*the* qtquick2plugin plugin), it would cause the value provider to go
stale.

To make matters worse, it's quite likely that the plugin would get
loaded soon after, at the same address in memory, which causes the
valueTypeProvider list to become cyclic.
