hjk cc750dc924 Disable Qt-StrictIterators
The rule in this form is not as helpful as intented.

Paraphrasing comments from the linked issue:

This rule was created based on clazy's “Warn when iterator objects are
implicitly cast to const_iterator" which was likely an attempt to limit
hidden detaches of implicitly-shared Qt containers.

But mixing const_iterator and iterator is not the problem. The problem
is calling a non-const begin()/end()/find()/etc when you only need
const_iterators. So if you ban the implicit conversion from iterator to
const_iterator, you will catch these, theoretically. Practically, no-one
writes QList<Foo>::const_iterator it = l.begin() these days anymore,
everyone is using auto, so the check can never actually trigger for True
Positives.

As-is, it produces False Positives which has a potential to make the
code actually worse.

An alternative to reach a similar goal is to use QT_STRICT_ITERATORS, so
there’s no need for an Axivion check for it.
