Add reentrancy guard for processEvents() in QProgressDialog::setValue()

Current implementation of QProgressDialog always calls
QCoreApplication::processEvents() when the user calls
QProgressDialog::setValue() if the PD is modal. For most cases this is
fine, but when using a Qt::WindowModal PD with setValue() connected to
a signal in another thread using Qt::QueuedConnection a reentrancy
issue is present if setValue() is triggered too frequently as the
execution of its previous call may not have finished. If this happens
too many times in a row a stack overflow will occur.

Current documentation notes this potential issue but offers no way it
avoid it while still using QProgressDialog (user must implement a
custom dialog) without resorting to using Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection,
which unnecessarily reduces performance.

Introduces the boolean reentrancy guard "processingEvents" that is
checked before calling QCoreApplication::processEvents() in a modal
PD when setValue() is used. It is set before the first call to
processEvents() and cleared after that call returns. This ensures that
only one invocation of processEvents() is possible from within
setValue() at a time, and thereby minimizes iterations of the main event
loop and eliminates the aforementioned stack overflow condition.
