Move creation and management of singletons to QQmlEnginePrivate

Singleton object instances were previously managed by
QQmlType::SingletonInstanceInfo and kept in a shared storage. This caused
concurrency problems when instantiating singleton instances from different
QML engines in different threads.

This patch moves the singleton house-keeping infrastructure to
QQmlEnginePrivate and makes SingletonInstanceInfo immutable.
Singleton objects are stored in a QHash with QQmlType as the key because
the qml type id might be 0 for composite singletons. The public API of
QQmlType is extended to provide more information about singleton types so that
access to SingletonInstanceInfo is not needed.

All internal accesses of singleton objects must now take the same code path via
QQmlEnginePrivate::singletonInstance<T>() which simplifies overall usage of
singletons and scatters less implementation details throughout the code base.
