When converting an implicitly-shared Qt container to QSpan, the QSpan ctor would call .data(), which detaches said Qt container (if it's not const). This is what must happen for mutable spans (QSpan<int>), but is not necessary for non-mutable spans (QSpan<const int>). Fix by copying the potential const from QSpan::element_type to the Range object in the resp. QSpan ctor. This makes a QSpan over a const element_type mark the range const before passing it to adl_data() (= member-data()). For a non-const element_type, nothing changes. [ChangeLog][QtCore][QSpan] No longer detaches implicitly-shared Qt containers converted to QSpan<const T, N>. Note that std::span<const T, N> will, however, detach such containers, so we recommend to use std::as_const() with implcitly-shared Qt containers, as always.
