Restore Qt4.7 behaviour of QFileInfo::absolute(File)Path

Many applications relied on the undefined behaviour that the
filesystem engines returned clean paths (despite the documentation
stating that they may not), and consequently suffered regressions with
Qt 4.8.

Unix paths are once again cleaned if necessary.
Windows/Symbian paths were already cleaned, but now use the utility
function to check if a path is dirty, to avoid duplicated code.
