Change ApplicationsDir variable on macOS to return "/Applications"
QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::ApplicationsLocation)
first element returns $HOME/Applications, as being user writable it
has a higher priority.
Change the variable to return system wide /Applications as it is
a more expected default. Add the user-specific applications
directory as its own variable, and make associated documentation
changes.
Task-number: QTIFW-1011
