[Qt] QQuickWebView does not allow for input from virtual keyboard

[Simon Hausmann]

As Michael analyzed correctly, the issue is that QQuickWebView never sets the ItemAcceptsInputMethod flag correctly, which leads the input method to believe that the item doesn't accept input method events at all.

I saw that BB10 Cascades added a similar method, could you verify that we are using more or less the same API for this?

Hmm, this isn't public API though, just private for testing. I think a more JavaScript style API for this would be much better, along the lines of:

webView.runJavaScript("script here", function(result) {
   ...
})

Oops, clear this. Kenneth r+'ed the earlier patch, will land rebase right away.

After r115831 WebKit on N9 still has some problems regarding vkb.

Here's the steps:

- Go to www.google.com
- Search something (vkb works fine)
- On the search result page, tap the input field.
- VKB does not shows, even after returning to the main page.
