Title:
  Use SortFilterModel for custom models

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  While browsing the UITK documentation, I stumbled upon
  https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04/Ubuntu.Components.SortFilterModel/,
  which is essentially QSortFilterProxyModel exposed to QML.

  webbrowser-app has a number of custom models written in C++ that
  inherit QSortFilterProxyModel. Some of them could most likely be
  replaced by a pure QML component with this model from the UITK.

  From a very quick glance, the following models are candidates:
   - HistoryDomainModel
   - BookmarksFolderModel
   - HistoryDomainListChronologicalModel

  This would have the advantage of removing a significant amount of
  custom C++ code, speeding up build time and unit tests run time.
