*
* SplitterRow
*
* SplitterRow is a component that provides a way to layout items horisontally with
* a draggable splitter added in-between each item.
*
* Add items to the SplitterRow by inserting them as child items. The splitter handle
* is outsourced as a delegate (handleBackground). For this delegate to work properly,
* it will need to contain a mouse area that communicates with the SplitterRow by binding
* 'onMouseXChanged: handleDragged(handleIndex)', and 'drag.target: dragTarget'.
*
* The SplitterRow contains the followin API:
*
* Component handleBackground - delegate that will be instanciated between each
*   child item. Inside the delegate, the following properties are available:
*   int handleIndex - specifies the index of the splitter handle. The handle
*       between the first and the second item will get index 0, the next handle index 1 etc.
*   Item handleDragTarget - convenience property that tells which drag target any
*       inner mouse areas that controls the handle should bind to.
*   function handleDragged(handleIndex) - function that should be called whenever
*       the handle is dragged to a new position
*
* The following properties can optionally be added for each direct child item of SplitterRow:
*
* real minimumWidth - if present, ensures that the item cannot be resized below the
*   given value. A value of -1 will disable it.
* real maximumWidth - if present, ensures that the item cannot be resized above the
*   given value. A value of -1 will disable it.
* real percentageWidth - if present, should be a value between 0-100. This value specifies
*   a percentage of the width of the SplitterRow width. If the width of the SplitterRow
*   change, the width of the item will change as well. 'percentageWidth' have precedence
*   over 'width', which means that SplitterRow will ignore any assignments done to 'width'.
*   A value of -1 disables it.
* bool expanding - if present, the item will consume all extra space in the SplitterRow, down to
*   minimumWidth. This means that that 'width', 'percentageWidth' and 'maximumWidth' will be ignored.
*   There will always be one (and only one) item in the SplitterRow that has this behaviour, and by
*   default, it will be the last child item of the SplitterRow. Also note that which item that gets
*   resized upon dragging a handle depends on whether the expanding item is located towards the left
*   or the right of the handle.
*
* Example:
*
* To create a SplitterRow with three items, and let
* the center item be the one that should be expanding, one
* could do the following:
*
*    SplitterRow {
*        anchors.fill: parent
*
*        handleBackground: Rectangle {
*            width: 1
*            color: "black"
*
*            MouseArea {
*                anchors.fill: parent
*                anchors.leftMargin: -2
*                anchors.rightMargin: -2
*                drag.axis: Qt.YAxis
*                drag.target: handleDragTarget
*                onMouseXChanged: handleDragged(handleIndex)
*            }
*        }
*
*        Rectangle {
*            color: "gray"
*            width: 200
*        }
*        Rectangle {
*            property real minimumWidth: 50
*            property real maximumWidth: 400
*            property bool expanding: true
*            color: "darkgray"
*        }
*        Rectangle {
*            color: "gray"
*            width: 200
*        }
*    }
