QCustomEmptyState
A centered "nothing here yet" placeholder.
A mark + title + description + an optional action button. Tokenized. Emits actionClicked.
The default mark is PAINTED, not a glyph. An emoji does not tint with the theme, does not scale cleanly, and renders as a different picture on every platform - the same reasoning as QCustomSparklesText's drawn star. setIcon() still accepts a string for anyone who wants one.
