I've added a new component to extra, one that was bothering me since a loooong 
time ;)

it's called ScrollArea, basically it's an item to be used as a parent of a 
flickable (so ListView and GridViews too)

when the content becomes bigger than the widget it automatically creats the 
needed scrollbars, making scrollbars or scrollindicators is autodetected and 
if is a listview with a section categorization it creates a SectionScroller 
instead of a scrollbar

on the desktop it should reserve the space for the scrollbar, on touch, the 
indicators are an overlay of the flickable.

ie a loooot of error prone stuff that is not needed to do it automatically 
anymore ;)
