      Qt Quick Stack View, even though is a `Control`
derivative, does not respect its paddings. This
does not mean that we are free to re-interpret
the paddings as done currently. Qt may at any
point start respecting the padding, which would
in turn break the interface.

The padding is not supposed to be passed around
like that. It is for the control to position the
content item (apply margins). Unfortunately we
can not do that in `StackView` because it assumes
that it is the sole authority for positioning the
content.

The easy fix for that is to simply use anchors
where `StackView` is reused. This is what I tried
to do in this merge request.

Unfortunately I could not override the padding
properties as read-only to block adjusting them,
as they are marked `FINAL`.
