Fix QQuickControlPrivate::getContentItem() overrides

When no content item is explicitly assigned, container type of controls
(Page, Pane, Popup...) create a default content item on demand. Notice
that the content item is created from within the contentItem() getter,
so it must not emit contentItemChanged() to avoid binding loops.

QQuickControl::setContentItem_helper() was introduced in 1eaebd0 to
mitigate basically the same problem with QQuickScrollView, which has
its own special lazy creation of a Flickable content item.

Now, the problem is that the other container controls are not executing
setContentItem_helper(), because they have already assigned contentItem
and therefore it returns right away. Fix the issue by returning the new
content item without assigning it to let setContentItem_helper() do its
job. The issue was spotted while debugging QTBUG-61434.
