Fix property caches out of sync with grouped properties that have a VME meta object

Because QQmlObjectCreator::populateInstance would take the property cache to
install from the outside and also pass it as the cache to use for the VME meta
object to install, it could happen that the wrong cache was installed - the one
supplied by engine->cache(propType) instead of the cache created together with
the VME meta-object at type compilation time.

This patch ensures that they're always in sync and correct by removing the
responsibility of the caller to supply the cache to use and install. Instead
the function will always use the cache calculated at type compile time (and
also use that when installing the VME meta object).

Installation of the property cache on the declarative data of the instance is
now done only at createInstance() time, which fortunately also simplifies the
code.
