    Qt: Always make the packet list row heights uniform.
    
    In tests here using GTK+ 2.24 and 3.10, GtkTreeView handles multi-line
    items by adjusting the height for all rows, but only after the number of
    multi-line items exceeds some sort of threshold. For a packet capture
    which contains a few DNS packets and a lot of TCP packets, if I change
    "Standard query" to "Standard\nquery" in packet-dns.c I get
    single-height packet list items. If I change "[TCP segment of a
    reassembled PDU]" to "[TCP segment of a\nreassembled PDU]" in
    packet-tcp.c (which results in more multi-line column strings) I get
    double-height packet list items.
    
    The current Qt code initially sets the uniformRowHeights property then
    falls back to variable row heights if we run across a multi-line column
    string. This adds a lot of logic which can impact other functionality
    (e.g. column widths) and recalculating row heights is painfully slow for
    large numbers of packets.
    
    Instead of trying to manage variable row heights, always enable
    uniformRowHeights. Track the maximum newline count and trigger a row
    height adjustment when it changes. This mimics the GTK+ UI behavior,
    although it should be more reliable.
    
    Note that we need to adjust some numbers in RelatedPacketDelegate.
