This is a messy commit, because the "qPref" system relies
heavily on QString, which means lots of conversions between
the two worlds. Ultimately, I plan to base the preferences
system on std::string and only convert to QString when
pushing through Qt's property system or when writing into
Qt's settings.

Quite a bit of fallout in users of this structure.
Conveniently, since git-access.cpp is now C++ we can move
some helpers from the monstrous qthelper.cpp to git-access.cpp.

This avoid memory-management troubles. Had to convert a few
of the parsers (cochran, datatrak, liquivision) to C++.
Also had to convert libdivecomputer.c. This was less
painful than expected.
std::string is used because parts of the code assumes
that the data is null terminated after the last character
of the data. std::string does precisely that.
One disadvantage is that std::string clears its memory
when resizing / initializing. Thus we read the file onto
freshly cleared data, which some might thing is a
performance regression. Until someone shows me that this
matters, I don't care.

Simplifies memory management. Think about unglobalizing this,
once everything is in C++ so that we can put an std::string
into struct divelog.
