Migrate on QML

[Diadlo]

I'm not sure, that it's good idea. But we can start rewriting part of widgets into QML

@sudden6 Do you agree with this and #1?

[antis81]

I would strongly advise to step away from that idea of mixing widget and qml code. However, if you want to try it, you might want to have a look into my fork (HEAD commit of branch qml) for reference on how to do that: antis81/qTox@017bdbc

The commit basically removes any QWidget related code - but you can easily just add the qml/qtquick module and start off with that…

@antis81 Thanks a lot

I would strongly advise to step away from that idea of mixing widget and qml code

Why? There is my arguments for mixing:

1. I think QML -- is the future of Qt
2. QML help to build better architecture (MVVM?)
3. We can't drop support of current futures => we can't start from scratch
4. We can't maintain (test, fix, rebase) one huge PR

I agree with @Diadlo, we don't have the manpower to do a hard switch all at once, so we have to do it gradually, even if it takes longer. But it means our users will get continuous support during the whole process.
