Always generate QML cache files in the cache directory, never in sources
This patch eliminates the annoying behavior of the QML compiler that .qmlc cache
files are stored alongside the sources. When cache files are generated at
run-time, then they are always stored in the application's local cache directory
defined by QStandardPaths::CacheLocation (qmlcache subfolder). The application's
uninstaller is responsible for cleaning up the cache directory during removal.
If explicitly precompiled QML files exist at the source location, then they are
loaded from there and no cache file is being generated.
Storing cache files in the source directory is as problematic as an in-tree
build. The cache files pollute the source directory and create unnecessary
inconvenience with version control systems.
[ChangeLog][QtQml][QQmlEngine] QML cache files are now always stored in the
application's cache directory when being generated at run-time. If precompiled
QML files exist at the source location, then they are loaded and no cache file
is being generated. The application's uninstaller is responsible for cleaning up
the cache during removal.
