Quickly Test QtQuickControls Font Dialog

We checkout qtbase, qtxmlpatterns, qtdeclarative, and qtquickcontrols sources from their stable branch in sequence. Use the patch below to enable PURE_QML_ONLY definition.

Under ~/qtproject/qtquickcontrols directory,

$ git diff
diff --git a/src/dialogs/plugin.cpp b/src/dialogs/plugin.cpp

We need to build qtbase, qtxmlpatterns, qtdeclarative, and qtquickcontrols sources from their stable branch in correct sequence, with the developer build options being set with qtbase module.

Under ~/qtproject/qtbase directory,

$ ./configure -developer-build -opensource -confirm-license -verbose
$ time make -j 64

Under ~/qtproject/qtxmlpatterns directory,

$ ../qtbase/bin/qmake && time make -j 64

Under ~/qtproject/qtdeclarative directory,

$ ../qtbase/bin/qmake && time make -j 64

Under ~/qtproject/qtquickcontrols directory,

$ ../qtbase/bin/qmake && time make -j 64

Under ~/qtproject directory,

$ qtbase/bin/qmlscene qtquickcontrols/examples/quick/dialogs/systemdialogs/FontDialogs.qml

The above steps was used to implement input for entering non-standard font size for Qt Quick Controls Font Dialog.

Special thanks to Liang Qi and J-P Nurmi for helping along the way.
