Deprecate QStringViewLiteral

As a macro, we can't directly deprecate it, but need to make it call
something deprecated. That is a new ctor with a new enum type
added. The type might be useful for other such ventures, so put it
into qglobal.h

Remove the QT_NO_UNICODE_LITERAL protection, as it's always false
these days, and QT_UNICODE_LITERAL is unconditionally #defined a 20
lines above.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QStringView] Deprecated the (undocumented)
QStringViewLiteral macro. Just use u"" or QStringView(u"") instead.
