Expose DockWidget::Private::setUniqueName() in the controller
Given a saved layout which will deserialize in this order: "Dock1" "Dock2" ... and a factory function which will return a dock widget named "Dock2" for the uniqueName "Dock1"
KDDW will first correctly place the DockWidget named "Dock2" in the position of "Dock1" (remapping), but then when it attempts to find the dock widget to place in the position of "Dock2" it will not consult the factory function. Instead it will place the already-placed dock widget in a second place (and crash).
In order to support transparently reassigning interchangable dock widgets, it might make sense for the remapping to update the uniqueName of the dock widget? Or not directly iterate through dock widgets when deserializing (dock registry)?
Alternatively this use case could be unsupported, and dock widgets will always need to be created to match the given name to avoid the possibility of aliasing.
