Store the selected items in a more efficient way

Since Dolphin 2.0, we have stored the selected items in a QSet<int>,
which is neither space-efficient nor particularly fast when inserting
many items which are in a consecutive range.

This commit replaces the QSet<int> by a new class "KItemSet", which
stores the items in a sorted list of ranges. For each range, we only
store the first index and the length of the range, so we need a lot
less memory for most common selection patterns, and we also save quite
a few CPU cycles in many situations, because adding an item to the
KItemSet will in many cases not need a memory allocation at all, and
it's particularly easy when inserting sorted items into the KItemSet in
a row.

KItemSet contains a minimal subset of QSet's API which makes it
suitable as a drop-in replacement for our needs. It also has iterators,
such that the items can be iterated through easily, also with foreach.
One advantage of KItemSet compared to QSet<int> is that the items are
always iterated through in ascending order.
