matrix4x4 QML Basic Type

A matrix4x4 type has sixteen values, each accessible via the properties m11 through m44 in QML (in row/column order). Values of this type can be composed with the Qt.matrix4x4() function. Each attribute in a matrix4x4 is stored as a real (single-precision on ARM, double-precision on x86).

The matrix4x4 type has the following idempotent functions which can be invoked in QML:
