Debugger: Test boost::variant with a reference member

The active alternative of a boost::variant having a member of reference
type used to be dumped as the reference itself instead of the referent,
so a nested value showed the reference address instead of the pointee.
This works now; add a regression test covering the reported case.

DiffEditor: Align the side by side inline diff with word wrap

The side by side inline diff kept the baseline and editor views aligned
with line-count based spacer rows, so a word wrapped line on one side
pushed the two views out of sync: the mirrored, pixel based scroll bars
rely on both sides having the same height per row.

Replace the count based spacers with a SideBySideAligner that pads the
two views row by row to the taller of each paired row. The pads measure
the other side on demand (non-forcing block queries, so no reentrancy or
forced full layout), which keeps the alignment correct across word
wrapping, resizes, splitter drags and font changes without an explicit
recomputation step. Cross-view staleness is handled by resetting the
other view's cached offsets on its counterpart's documentSizeChanged.

Also fix two markers that ignored the wrapped and padded rows:
- HunkControls' range bracket took its bottom from a cursor at the start
  of the last block, so it stopped at that block's first visual line;
  it now uses the end of the block and follows a wrapped last line.
- paintRevisionMarker drew the change bar down to the block bounding
  rect bottom, which now includes the aligner's appended pad and so
  bled through the empty gap below a changed line; it now stops at the
  main text bottom.

The now unused editorSpacers/baselineSpacers render model fields are
removed; the aligner derives everything from the hunks.

AutoTest: Fix lookup for derived tests

Resolving non-local imports needs QML_IMPORT_PATH and
we need to make use of it.
Instead of parsing an empty context we need to pass the
real used context.
This follows the way of finding references of symbols
done elsewhere inside QmlJS.

Debugger: Use native dumper-aware variables in BridgeEngine

Replace the DAP scopes/variables/variablesReference model with a native
qtc/fetchVariables request that drives the real Qt dumpers on the bridge
and reuses the shared updateLocalsView() on the C++ side - the same path
GdbEngine uses. Variables now have iname identity and Qt-aware values
(e.g. std::string shows its content) instead of gdb's flat formatting,
and lazy expansion and watchers ride along via WatchHandler's existing
format/watcher requests.

The BridgeVariablesHandler copied from the DAP engine is dropped.

The dumper's structured output is carried in the response verbatim and
parsed with the existing GdbMi reader; transcoding it to a pure JSON
tree on the wire is a deferred cleanup that does not change the
architecture.

Verified end-to-end against real gdb: a std::string local is reported
as its content via the stdlib dumper.

TextEditor: Add optional +/- signs to the inline diff gutter

Add a "Mark diff changes with +/- signs" display option, off by
default, that draws a "+" next to added or changed lines and a "-"
next to removed lines in the editor's extra area. The signs let
readers tell additions from deletions without relying on the green
and red background highlights, which helps with color vision
deficiency.

The signs live in a dedicated extra area column between the line
numbers and the folding markers. Added and changed lines take their
sign from a per-block map published by InlineDiffDecorator; removed
lines shown as ghost rows are marked from the layout at paint time.
The column only takes space when the option is on and the editor
actually shows an inline diff.

CmdBridge: Let the bridge exit by itself when the client goes away

The teardown wrote the "exit" request and closed the process right
after. Neither reaches the bridge: writeRaw() only buffers, and close()
drops the process without flushing, so what actually ends the bridge is
the SIGTERM the reaper sends afterwards. A remote bridge does not even
get that - terminating the local end of the connection leaves it running
until its watchdog fires a minute later.

Closing also disconnects before Process::done, so nothing concludes the
jobs that are still pending. Their promises end up merely cancelled when
the client's data is destroyed, instead of failing with the error the
handlers expect, and Client::done is not emitted at all.

Wait for the process instead, bounded and in the thread that owns it,
which is also what gets the request written. Terminate it only if it
does not go by itself, conclude whatever jobs are left, and delete the
process there. Run all of it from QThread::finished, so that the
teardown does not depend on an event being delivered either. A thread
that still cannot be joined is left behind together with the state it
works on, rather than having that state pulled from under it. The
handlers reach that state directly, so that leaving the client behind
does not leave them pointing at it.

The bridge also has to notice the request. Its reader loop only decoded
when bytes were waiting in the reader it peeks at, but the CBOR decoder
pulls a whole read into a buffer of its own, where a second command from
the same read stays undecoded until more data arrives. The exit written
on top of a job that had not been flushed yet was exactly that command,
and never arrived.

Tracing: Fix track hit test coordinates in the renderer test

The track area gained an 8px top margin, so track 0 no longer starts
at widget y = 0. The test kept hit testing in widget coordinates while
expecting track-local ones - the space the renderer builds its fill
geometry in - so a click at the row top landed in the margin, and the
top eight pixel rows of every drawn rect counted as unhittable.

Convert through trackYOffset() and size the viewports to totalHeight(),
which the tracks no longer fit into.

Qnx: Run the remote "Custom Executable" configuration on QNX

QnxRunWorkerFactory only handled the QNX-native run configuration, and
the Remote (Linux) run worker does not list the QNX device type, so the
"Custom Executable (on QNX Device)" configuration had no run worker at
all: it was offered on QNX kits but its Run button stayed disabled.

Have the QNX run worker also accept RemoteLinux.CustomRunConfig. Restrict
it to the QNX device type at the same time. It previously matched any
device (empty type list), which with the added config id would have
conflicted with the Remote worker on Linux/macOS/Windows.

Removing an item only marks it as removed, so the selection stayed on

removing the next item. Move the selection to another item that is
still there - preferring the same group (the next kept item there, else
the previous one) before moving on to another group - and bind the
Delete key to the Remove button.

Profiler: Format memory amounts with units

The flame graph's Memory/Total Time/Mean Time roles gained
separate display-only roles so formatting doesn't affect the
numeric roles used for box sizing.

Docker: Do not lose the container start event

The event listener is started at the same time as the container, but
waiting for its process to start only proves the binary was exec'd, not
that it subscribed to the event stream. When the container wins that
race the start event is never delivered, the wait times out, and the
CmdBridge container is killed, degrading the rest of the session to the
slow direct access path.

Backdate the event stream with --since, so a late subscriber still sees
the event. The container ID is fresh, so no earlier start event can
match the filter. An hour is used rather than "now" because a --since
in the daemon's future matches nothing, which would turn clock skew
into a permanent failure.

Event delivery can also be unavailable altogether - podman with
events_logger set to "none" exits with an error and writes nothing to
stdout - so query the container state directly before giving up.

Bound the wait by a single deadline instead of restarting a five second
timeout on every iteration, and report a timeout as such instead of
blaming the start process that was just killed.

Utils: Fix "file://" links in the application output

The target was parsed by cutting off the scheme and splitting the rest
on every colon. That kept the slash separating the empty authority from
a Windows path and tore the drive letter off, so a click on
"file:///C:/dir/main.cpp:40" ended up opening "/C". Parse the URL
instead, which also takes care of percent encoding.

A path need not be usable as printed: It can be relative to a directory
we do not know, or refer to a copy of the file. Such links used to be
mapped onto the project by the Qt output parser, which no longer sees
them. Look them up in the formatter's file finder, so that this works
for all kits.
