    Description

      We want to make the versioning in Qt Quick less confusing. One part needed is to add version information in Qt Quick plugins in the data section, so we can determine the latest version of each plugin. Enable "Import Qt Quick 2" and you'll get the latest. Then move our examples over to this scheme.

      In addition to a "find the latest version" import with only the major number we also need an import statement that propagates the exact version of the parent document, so that a Component from, say, Qt Quick Controls can derive from a another control while preserving the version information given from the outside. This is so that the component finally exposed to the user doesn't contain properties from the component derived from that were only added in versions after the one specified by the user. One idea for a suitable syntax would be "import QtQuick auto".
