Bug Description

A simple app with:

    ContentStore {
        id: appContentStore
        scope: ContentScope.App

        Component.onCompleted: console.log(uri)
    }

Doesn't have any appContentStore.uri content and print this warning:
"Accessing ContentStore uri with NULL internal store"

However, the ContentStore uri only depends on the ContentScope associated with it. I wanted to do some cleanups and check on the backend side while fetching it. But setStore() which initialized the uri is only available after the first transfer using that ContentStore.

The C++ side is doing that inside the constructor, I think the QML one should do the same to make ContentStore a little bit more useful.

In further investigation, I see this is actually intentional. The ContentStore has to know the ContentType to properly construct the uri. So this gets set when the transfer uses the store.

To make ContentStore more generally usable, outside of just transfers we should look at solving that. Perhaps we could add an optional property for contentType. We can consider that for the next API bump.
