Mention that QVariantList is also a supported model type

Also added a section with more info that asks the reader to refer to the
QStringList example above.

 Models can be defined in C++ and then made available to QML. This is useful
 for exposing existing C++ data models or otherwise complex datasets to QML.
 
-A C++ model class can be defined as a \l QStringList, a QObjectList or a
-\l QAbstractItemModel. The first two are useful for exposing simpler datasets,
