By moving the base fields to a QObjectBase_, QObject can be a type
which also has a 'base' field. This allows to write a generic
QOBJECT() macro that will work with any QObject type, including
QObject itself. The container_of() macro ensures that the object to
cast has a QObjectBase_ base field, giving some type safety
guarantees. QObject must have no members but QObjectBase_ base, or
else QOBJECT() breaks.

QObjectBase_ is not typedef and use a trailing underscore to make it
obvious it is not for normal use and to avoid potential abuse.

I'd add a comment here that this struct must have no other members than
base.

Identifiers that begin with double underscores are reserved for any
use.  Drop one of the two, please.
