This commit ports the work of EchterAgo and cculianu from Electron-Cash,
to implement a new toolchain to scan qr codes.
Previously, on Linux and Win, we have been using zbar to access the camera
and read qrcodes; and on macOS we used CalinsQRReader (an objective-C
project by cculianu).
The new toolchain added here can use QtMultimedia to access the camera,
and then feed that image into zbar. When used this way, zbar needs
fewer dependencies and is easier to compile, in particular it can be
compiled for macOS.
The new toolchain works on all three platforms, with some caveats
(see code comments in related commits) -- so we also keep the end-to-end
zbar toolchain; but at least we can drop CalinsQRReader.
The related changes in Electron-Cash are spread over 50+ commits (several PRs and direct
pushes to master), but see in particular:

New classes ScanQRTextEdit and ShowQRTextEdit.
Reason: dependencies on zbar availability and issues with the QRTextEdit constructor.
- ScanQRTextEdit needs access to the config (fetch camera). It needs to load
the zbar processor properly before trying to scan. Keeping a reference to
the processor in qrscaner fixes the crashes on windows.
- ShowQRTextEdit should not have access to scan_qr().
- no need to setReadOnly anymore. It is clear from the class name.
Show master pub keys now has a Combobox if multiple accounts are
available.
