Dennis Oberst e81b5d59ad chat example: various enhancements
This patch includes:
  - Show available server ports dynamically. Qt built without SSL
    support should not show the https port.
  - Add an early note about the prerequisites for running the example so
    that users are guided from early on.
  - Use std::cout in combination with std::endl to flush the buffer.
    QtCreator doesn't print when simply using "\n".

Dennis Oberst cb35d20adb Rewrite the qtgrpc chat example
The previous chat example was created many moons ago and much has
happened since then. These are the key improvements for the new qtchat:

- Server uses the Callback API
- Added support for Registering (stored in plain text on server side)
- Use long-lived bidirectional streaming for the ChatRoom method
- Any files can now be shared in any size with all chat users
- Use the Grpc client from a dedicated worker thread to have lag-free
  UIs
- Use the generated protobuf QML-library declaratively in the app
- stylistic improvements
- Use SSL for safe communication
- Automatic reconnections

This is an advanced example showcasing many features of this module.
