Use own QIconEngine in QFileIconProvider
This allows us to lazily load icons from the platform theme
by reimplementing the pixmap(). Otherwise, we would instantiate
pixmaps in several sizes even though we would not need them
right away. Since, at least on OS X, icon sizes can go up to
128x128 pixels, we can end up saving an order of magnitude of
memory on icon pixmaps alone if we only use the smallest sizes
in our application.
Two side modifications are included. The first allows sub-
classing QPixmapIconEngine by exporting this class. The second
fixes the q_ptr in QFileIconProviderPrivate which was never set.
