Subject: [PATCH 24/28] doc: explain QQItem event delivery, handlers,
setAcceptTouchEvents()
We quietly recommended calling setAcceptTouchEvents() in the Qt 5.10
release notes in any Item subclass that wants to receive touch events,
and in the docs for setAcceptTouchEvents() itself; but the message about
the impending behavior change might not have been obvious enough.
In Qt 6 it becomes mandatory, so clearer docs will hopefully help to
stave off bogus bug reports.
We also never had a great overview of event handling from an Item's
perspective; now it's a little better.
Followup to ab91e7fa02a562d80fd0747f28a60e00c3b45a01 and
a97759a336c597327cb82eebc9f45c793aec32c9
[ChangeLog][QtQuick][QQuickItem] When subclassing QQuickItem, you
should call setAcceptTouchEvents(true) if you need the item to receive
touch events. It will be required in Qt 6.

+ All Item-based visual types can use \l {Qt Quick Input Handlers}{Input Handlers}
+ to handle incoming input events (subclasses of QInputEvent), such as mouse,
+ touch and key events. This is the preferred declarative way to handle events.
+
+ An alternative way to handle touch events is to subclass QQuickItem, call
+ setAcceptTouchEvents() in the constructor, and override touchEvent().
+ \l {QEvent::setAccepted()}{Accept} the entire event to stop delivery to
+ items underneath, and to exclusively grab all the event's touch points.
+
+ Likewise, a QQuickItem subclass can call setAcceptedMouseButtons()
+ to register to receive mouse button events, setAcceptHoverEvents()
+ to receive hover events (mouse movements while no button is pressed),
+ and override the virtual functions mousePressEvent(), mouseMoveEvent(), and
+ mouseReleaseEvent(). Those can also accept the event to prevent further
+ delivery and get an implicit grab at the same time.
Key handling is available to all Item-based visual types via the \l Keys
attached property. The \e Keys attached property provides basic signals
