Add support for semi-automatic QML type registrations

We can use the new moc JSON output to collect all meta-objects at build
time and, for those that include QML element registration meta-data,
generate code that automatically registers these types with QML. This
eliminates the need to call qmlRegisterType manually.

For now this generates free-standing functions (per module) that need to
be called manually. This is intended as an intermediate step.
