Bug Description

Qt 5.6 supersedes QT_DEVICE_PIXEL_RATIO with three variables:
- QT_SCALE_FACTOR, which works the same way.
- QTSCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS, which lists values per monitor.
- QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR, which automatically picks a value for each monitor.

Documentation needs to take these new variables into account and we need to start using the new variables where applicable (the old one still works, but triggers warnings with Qt 5.6).

Note: tests/unit/units have failures with Qt 5.6.

---------------
ubuntu-ui-toolkit (1.3.2060+16.10.20160814) yakkety; urgency=medium

  [ Zoltan Balogh ]
  * Fix OptionSelectorTestCase tests.
  * Fix more OptionSelector autopilot tests

  [ Timo Jyrinki ]
  * Disable documentation building for GLES builds. Fixes LP: #1606222.
  * Replace abs with qFabs due to GCC6 breakage. Fixes LP: #1610943.
  * Limit s390x dependencies more due to upstart/s390x problems and removed
    packages in archives. Fixes LP: #1610951

  [ Andrea Bernabei ]
  * ListItemLayout doc: add elide mode change example and add section about
    labels default properties values. Fixes LP: #1603450.
  * ListItemLayout doc: add explicit note about the need to bind ListItem's
    height to layout's height.
  * More Scrollbar optimizations: 20% faster creation time. Fixes LP: #1606451

    Fixes LP: #1604780.
  * Fix BottomEdge content URL preloading. Fixes LP: #1604509.

  [Albert Astals Cid ]
  * UCUnits::resolveResource: Prefer image path if it exists. This saves
    searching the disk for @gu images, which is a big speedup. According to
    callgrind loading 100 images from a folder that contains 380 images goes
    from around 3 million instructions per UCUnits::resolveResource call down
    to around 10 thousand. This optimization is ok since it is not correct to
    ship both image.png and image@20.png. You either have to ship gu-enabled
    files or not, but mixing them is not allowed. Searched for cases in which
    that may be happening in my phone and found none. Fixes LP: #1604029.

  [ Tim Peeters ]
  * Configure colors of the buttons in the ActionBar and PageHeader through
    their Styles. Fixes LP: #1597774.

  [Christian Dywan ]
