and their related name.
Also move the component module in the item_Tree module
register_component -> register_item_tree
ComponentItemTree -> ItemTreeNodeArray
For #3323
Rationale from that issue:
Right now, we use the term `component` in the Slint language and in the compiler to be a a tree of elements that can be used as an element in a .slint file.
The term is also currently used in the runtime as a tree of runtime Items that are allocated together. (declared in ComponentVTable)
But there are no 1 to 1 mapping between a `component` in the slint language, and a runtime Component.
(for example, the items behind a `if` or `for` or `PopupMenu` are in a different runtime component. And `component` declared in Slint are often inlined)
So we should rename the internal runtime `Component` to `ItemTree`
The currently public `slint::ComponentHandle` wraps the "root" of the ItemTree, but that's ok because it is generated from a .slint `component`, so it doesn't change name
* component_factory: Add documentation
What was there was not useful, this is a bit better I think:-)

Add a ComponentFactory type which will eventually be used as a property
value in Slint. The idea is to copy around this type and to create
components from it that we can embed.
We do not want to hand raw components around as those are reference counted
and might end up being embedded into several places, which would break out
tree of components.
