Simplify the soft key roles of QAction.
Previously there were many options here that were inherited from the
Qtopia implementation. It was not clear to developers which value
they actually should use. A good example was the 'Next' value. In
a typical wizard application, next would be on the right and
'Previous' would be on the left. However, it is also common to have
'Next' on the left and have 'Cancel' on the right.
Basically what people really wanted was a way to explicitly set the
right and left soft keys, but since this relies on form factor and
is wrong if the screen is rotated, we choose positive and negative
actions as the values for these such that they still make sense when
the screen is rotated. Also this helps people who don't know if a
particular action should be on the left or right, but they *do* know
if their action has destructive characterisitics (negative).
As a convenience for widgets in Qt that use softkeys, we create a
standard softkey enumeration. That maps the actions to the correct
role and has default text.
