QmlDesigner: Update the Layouts doc

This patch updates the Layout document. Removing old tables
as they are now mostly in tooltips. Also, it tries to
structure the instructions and slightly fix the wording.
It adds an example for Qt Quick Layout workflow and explains
how properties should be used to adjust the components
in the Layout.

\section2 Setting Bindings
\l{Positioning with Bindings}{Property binding} is a declarative way of
specifying the value of a property. Binding allows a property value to be
expressed as a JavaScript expression that defines the value relative to
other property values or data accessible in the application. The property
value is automatically kept up to date if the other properties or data
values change.
Using \e {Property Binding}, you can connect the properties of components. So, change in
one can affect another. Once the binding is set, the property value is automatically
kept up to date if the other properties or data values change.
Property bindings are created implicitly whenever a property is assigned a
JavaScript expression. To set JavaScript expressions as values of properties
in the \l Properties view:

In an \l{Important Concepts In Qt Quick - Positioning#anchors}
{anchor-based} layout, each component can be thought of as having a set of
{anchor-based} layout, each component has a set of
invisible \e anchor lines: top, bottom, left, right, fill, horizontal
center, vertical center, and baseline.
In \l Properties > \uicontrol Layout, you can set anchors and margins for
components. To set the anchors of a component, click the anchor buttons.
You can combine the top/bottom, left/right, and horizontal/vertical anchors
to anchor components in the corners of the parent component or center them
horizontally or vertically within the parent component.
To set anchors and margins for components:
\list 1
\li Go to \l Properties > \uicontrol Layout > \uicontrol Anchors.
\li Select the corresponding button for the anchor you want for the component.
You can combine multiple anchors. For each selected button, you can
choose the target component of that anchor from the corresponding dropdown.
\li To apply fill anchors to a component, select
\inlineimage icons/anchor-fill.png (\uicontrol {Fill to Parent}).
\li To reset the anchors to their saved state, select

child components. For many use cases, the best positioner to use is a simple
column, row, flow, or grid. You can use the components available in
column, row, flow, or grid. Use the components available in
\uicontrol Components > \uicontrol {Default Components} >

Use the components available in \uicontrol Components
> \uicontrol {Qt Quick Layouts} to arrange components in UIs.
Unlike positioners, layouts manage both the positions and sizes of their
child components, and are therefore well suited for dynamic and resizable
UIs. However, this means that you should not specify fixed positions and
UIs. However, do not select fixed positions and
sizes for the child components in the \l{2D Geometry}{Geometry - 2D} section
in \l Properties, unless their implicit sizes are not satisfactory.
You can use anchors or the width and height properties of the layout itself
to specify its size in respect to its non-layout parent component. However,
Use anchors or the width and height properties of the layout itself

and then select \uicontrol Layout in the context menu.
Follow the process to put components in the \uicontrol {Grid Layout}.

\li After you assign them to \uicontrol {Grid Layout}, the components are arranged

\image qtquick-layout-in-grid.webp "Components in grid rows and columns"
To make a component within a layout as wide as possible while respecting the
given constraints, select the component in the \uicontrol {2D} view, and
then select \uicontrol Layout > \uicontrol {Fill Width} in the context menu.
To make the component as high as possible, select \uicontrol {Fill Height}.
\endlist
\section3 Layout Properties
A \uicontrol {Grid Layout} component provides a way of dynamically
arranging components in a grid. If the grid layout is resized, all
its child components are rearranged. If you want a layout with just
one row or one column, use the \uicontrol {Row Layout} or
\uicontrol {Column Layout} component.
The child components of row and column layout components are automatically
positioned either horizontally from left to right as rows or vertically from
top to bottom as columns. The number of the child components determines the
width of the row or the height of the column. You can specify the spacing
between the child components in the \uicontrol Spacing field.
The child components of grid layout components are arranged according to the
\uicontrol Flow property. When the direction of a flow is set to
\uicontrol LeftToRight, child components are positioned next to to each
other until the number of columns specified in the
\uicontrol {Columns & Rows} field is reached. Then,
the auto-positioning wraps back to the beginning of the next row.
\image qtquick-layout-grid-properties.png "Grid Layout properties"
If you set the direction of the flow to \uicontrol TopToBottom, child
components are auto-positioned vertically using the number of rows set
in the \uicontrol {Columns & Rows} field to determine the maximum number
of rows.
You can set the layout direction to either \uicontrol LeftToRight or
\uicontrol RightToLeft in the \uicontrol {Layout direction} field.
When you select \uicontrol RightToLeft, the alignment of the components
will be mirrored.
You can specify the spacing between rows and columns in the
\uicontrol Spacing field.
To make the components adept the width and height within the grid, follow these steps:
\list 1
\li Select a \uicontrol Rectangle component in the \l {2D} view
and go to \uicontrol Layout in the \l {Properties} view.
\li In the \uicontrol {Fill layout}, select both the \uicontrol Width and
\uicontrol Height checkboxes.
\image qtquick-layout-grid-layout-properties.webp "Layout properties for the component"
\note Manipulate the \uicontrol {Row span} and the \uicontrol {Column span}
to allow the components to take more row and column spaces within the
\uicontrol {Grid Layout}.
\li Repeat the previous steps for all the \uicontrol Rectangle components.
\li Select \uicontrol {Grid Layout} in the \uicontrol Navigator view.
\li Go to \uicontrol {Geometry-2D} in the \uicontrol Properties view. In
\uicontrol Size, increase the \uicontrol Width and \uicontrol Height.
\li All the \uicontrol Rectangle components follow the change accordingly.

\section3 Stack Layout
\image qtquick-designer-stacked-view.png
To stack components on top of each other you can use \uicontrol {Stack Layout}.
To add components to a \uicontrol {Stack Layout}, select the
\inlineimage icons/plus.png
button next to the component name in the \l {2D} view.
To move between components, select the \inlineimage icons/prev.png
(\uicontrol Previous) and \inlineimage icons/next.png
(\uicontrol Next) buttons.
To use \uicontrol {Stack Layout}:
\list 1
\li Drag the \uicontrol {Stack Layout} component to the \uicontrol 2D view
or \uicontrol Navigator view.
\li Drag the components you want to stack from the \uicontrol Components view to
the \uicontrol 2D view or \uicontrol Navigator view, and place on the top of
the \uicontrol {Stack Layout} component.
\note Alternatively, you can add components to the \uicontrol {Stack Layout} by
selecting the \inlineimage icons/plus.png button next to the
\uicontrol {Stack Layout} component name in the \l {2D} view.
\li To move between components of \uicontrol {Stack Layout},
select the \uicontrol {Stack Layout} component in the \uicontrol 2D view. Then
select the \inlineimage icons/prev.png
(\uicontrol Previous) and \inlineimage icons/next.png
(\uicontrol Next) buttons. This updates the \uicontrol {Current index} of the
\uicontrol {Stack Layout} and brings the \uicontrol {Current index}
component on top of the stack.
\note Alternatively, select the \uicontrol {Stack Layout} component, then
go to the \uicontrol Properties view > \uicontrol {Stack Layout}, and
update the \uicontrol {Current index}. The index starts from "0" (zero).
To add a tab bar to a stack layout, right-click on the
\uicontrol {Stack Layout} in \l Navigator to access the context menu, and
select \uicontrol {Stacked Container} > \uicontrol {Add Tab Bar}.
\endlist
To raise or lower the stacking order of a component, select
\uicontrol {Stacked Container} > \uicontrol {Increase Index} or
\uicontrol {Decrease Index}.
Follow the example below to understand how the \uicontrol {Stack Layout} works:
