Fix crash on startup hopefully related to bug #1592421.

As far as I can tell, this crash was happening due to a new cgo error that only happens in go1.6. My assumption is that the binary was compiled using go1.6. go-qml has related bug https://github.com/go-qml/qml/issues/170. I merged https://github.com/SjB/qml/tree/go1.6-port into the local qml.v1 directory to swipe the fixes for this issue. Hopefully eventually this will become a PR and get officially merged into go-qml.v1.

I also adjusted the syntax being used to run the application with go-qml to get better error reporting. With the old method, I saw a simple stacktrace with no useful information. With the new method, I was able to see: `panic: runtime error: cgo argument has Go pointer to Go pointer` which led me to this particular solution.
