TableModel: add roleDataProvider callback

As an alternative to trying to write smarter C++ in the data() accessor, we
give the user full control of data conversion by calling an external JS
function if defined, to map role to the value that data() should return.
This enables extracting arbitrary values, converting the data in arbitrary
ways, or even doing calculations in case the EditRole stores a formula and the
DisplayRole should provide the result, or something like that.

This callback is implemented somewhat like TableView.columnWidthProvider, but
the arguments are more complex: function(row, column, role, rawData)
