QQuickTableView: forceLayout() should work, even when no items are loaded

As it stood, we would return early from forceLayout if no items
were loaded. This made sense, since when no items are
loaded, there would be no items to lay out.

But after we changed the logic so that an application can
show or hide rows and columns by returning an empty size
from the size providers, we now always need to do a layout
to check if some rows or columns should become visible.
