Elided album and artist names

Elisa from git master.

See attached screenshot. The grid delegates' labels get elided rather than becoming multi-line strings, causing elision most artist and album names (though the problem is also visible in genre view).
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2019-04-12 15:40:41 UTC
A quick fix would be to make the grid delegates larger, which would allow the pretty art in album view to be more prominent. However this would exacerbate the issues with Genre and Artist views that currently have generic icons See Bug 406474 and Bug 406475). Those issues could be solved by making them lists rather than grids, or by giving them some artwork (see those bugs).

Revamp grid browser delegates to improve UI

Summary:
This patch changes the grid browser delegates in the following ways:
- Labels are centered
- Album art size increases from 100px to 170px, making the album view more attractive and leaving more room for labels
- Hover buttons now appear in the corner, have borders, and no longer make the album art get washed out when the delegate is hovered
- Some minor layout and positioning bugs are fixed

As a result, the following bugs are fixed:
Related: bug 406476

Also, the last usage of QQC1 in this component is removed as a side effect.

Test Plan:
Everything still works and there are no behavioral changes.
