ispyisail 1dd56df048 Keep three crash-recovery snapshots instead of overwriting one
Discussion #598, reviving PR #654. The crash-recovery backup written
every 20 minutes went to a single file. If the project was already in a
bad state when a backup ran, that bad state replaced the only recovery
copy.

QETProject now writes the backups in turn to three KAutoSaveFile slots
(BackupGenerations), so one bad write only replaces the oldest
snapshot. Scope is crash recovery only; the opt-in autosave is
unchanged.

After a crash, the recovery prompt groups the snapshots by project and
offers one row per project with a list to pick the snapshot to reopen,
newest selected by default. The snapshots not picked are deleted.

Ported onto current master: writeBackup() keeps the "skip if nothing
changed" check (bugtracker #273) and offerBackupFiles() keeps its place
after the stale-file filter and before the crash report (#901).

Tested with the backup interval shortened to 4 s (test build only):
after three changes, master holds one recovery file, overwritten each
time; this branch holds three, with 4, 5 and 6 folios. After killing
QET, the prompt lists the project; picking the oldest snapshot reopens
4 folios, the default reopens 6. Twice each. ctest 34/34 with and
without KDE Frameworks; the carried-over KAutoSaveFile test passes in
the nokde build.
