By moving the base fields to a QObjectBase_, QObject can be a type
which also has a 'base' field. This allows writing a generic QOBJECT()
macro that will work with any QObject type, including QObject
itself. The container_of() macro ensures that the object to cast has a
QObjectBase_ base field, giving some type safety guarantees. QObject
must have no members but QObjectBase_ base, or else QOBJECT() breaks.
QObjectBase_ is not a typedef and uses a trailing underscore to make
it obvious it is not for normal use and to avoid potential abuse.

We would like to use a same QObject type to represent numbers, whether
they are int, uint, or floats. Getters will allow some compatibility
between the various types if the number fits other representations.
Add a few more tests while at it.
