Make QStateMachine inherit QState

This removes the need for a "root state" in the machine; or rather,
the machine _is_ the root state.
User code can now pass in a QStateMachine directly to the QState
constructor, instead of machine->rootState().
This also means we could get rid of the "proxying" from the machine
to the root state for things like properties (initialState et al),
finished() signal and auto-reparenting of states (the ChildAdded
event hack).
A fun little side-effect of this change is that it's now possible
to embed state machines within state machines. We can't think of
a good use case yet where you would rather embed a stand-alone
state machine (with its own event processing etc.) rather than
having just a regular nested state, but it's neat and it works.
