Restructure the QtQml library

    Description

      The current way of having the builtins as a separate static library that inter-depends with QtQml is a source of headaches as proven by the many iterations it took to integrate https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/516814 . https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/517131 did not work because of QQmlComponent actually having to be a builtin.

      What if we do it the other way around? Move the builtins back into the QtQml library and split out the types that form the QtQml.Base module into a separate library. Those are all private API on the C++ side and they already have a separate URI on the QML side.

      There are a few corner cases: QQmlProperty, QQmlTypeNotAvailable, and QQmlScriptString are actually public API in C++, but luckily they are anonymous in QML. We can move them into the builtins.
