Reduce open and stat system calls for QSettings

The patch moves the global static QSettings object
from QLibrary to QCoreApplication and reduces a
few stat and open calls.

Without the patch, a large Trolltech.conf was
pushed out of the unused settings cache during
startup, meaning Trolltech.conf was parsed
more than once.
