Add a "prefer" directive to qmldir
The argument is the path from which further files from the module should be loaded. This allows us to load potentially pre-compiled files from a resource contained in a plugin. The qmldir file has to be stored outside the plugin in order for the QML engine to find it, but the QML files can now be stored inside the plugin. [ChangeLog][QtQml] You can now specify that QML files in a QML module should be loaded from a different place than the directory where the qmldir file is found. To do this, add a "prefer" directive to the qmldir file. The most useful application of this is adding the QML files as resources to a plugin, and using qmlcachegen to pre-compile them. You can then add their path inside the resource file system as "prefer" path in order to make the engine load the pre-compiled files. The plain files should still be installed next to the qmldir file so that they remain visible to tooling.

+ to load files compiled with qmlcachegen.
+
+ For example, you can add a module's QML files as resources to a resource
+ path \c{:/my/path/MyModule/}. Then, add \c{prefer :/my/path/MyModule} to
+ the qmldir file in order to use the files in the resource system, rather
+ than the ones in the file system. If you then use qmlcachegen for those,
+ the pre-compiled files will be available to any clients of the module.

Each command in a \c qmldir file must be on a separate line.
