Global variables with names such as "CurrentProject*", "CurrentKit*" etc
are harmful, because the term "current project" as used in Qt Creator
does not refer to the "active project", but simply stands for the
project that contains the node that is currently selected in the project
tree, which in turn may or may not correspond to the current editor
document, depending on the "sync with editor" setting. In other words,
the "current project" is almost a random value with little meaning
outside the project tree itself.
Therefore, we remove "CurrentProject*" and friends, except the ones that
are currently intentionally in use. The latter get renamed to
"CurrentDocument:Project*", so their purpose becomes clear. Their old
names are kept around for backward compatibility, but are not suggested
by the variable chooser anymore, so new usages are unlikely and we can
remove them at some point.
We also add some ActiveProject* variants that have been requested in the
past.
Also remove the "CurrentSession" prefix that was deprecated six years
ago.

This enables us to get rid of the product name "Qt Quick Designer"
in Qt Design Studio context. However, the macro can no longer be
used for UI text. Actually, it does not make much sense, because the
UI text is not dynamic. It would be good to also replace it in the
UI with something more generic, or with "Form Editor", for example.
