      Description

      As documented:

      https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquick-qmlscene.html#loading-test-data

      dummy data is always injected via context properties.  Since those are now deprecated, we don't have a good replacement mechanism.  Users will need to modify their view-layer QML files to use different models.

      In qmlscene this is a "magic" feature that doesn't even require an option.  We should remove it there too if we were keeping qmlscene as a tool; but we aren't.
