Move initView() to tests/auto/quick/shared

According to our "Coin - Flaky Tests" dashboard on our grafana, initView()
in tst_qquickmousearea seems to have very few flakiness issues in actually
exposing a QQuickView.

It is therefore a good idea to share this implementation so that it can
be used by other tests too.
