Refactor CallerHandle / LauncherHandle

Fix a race condition in the following scenario:

  QtcProcess proc(...)
  ...
  proc.start();
  proc.waitForStarted();
  if (!proc.waitForFinished()) {
      // handle failure here
      return;
  }
  // handle success

Move all the data into the caller's handle
and manage the QtcProcess state only from
inside caller's thread. This eliminates race
conditions when state changed from inside launcher's
thread while the caller's thread isn't notified
immediately.

For example: currently, when the launcher's thread receives
finished signal it doesn't change the process state
immediately, but posts a finished signal to be
dispatched in the caller's thread. When the caller's
thread dispatches the posted signal (inside flush() method)
it changes its state and posts the finished signal to the
outside world.

Don't flush all signals from waitForStarted(). Flush
only started signal in this case.
