QQuickView/QQuickWidget: Report an error if rootObject ends up null.

This can happen when trying to use a non-QQuickItem item as the root item in a
QQuickView, for instance, a Window or ApplicationWindow item.

This generates a warning (correctly), but does not set an error state on the
view, so automated tooling and the like does not know that the scene was not
successfully loaded.
