Fixed various PlatSec violations when app had no AllFiles capability.

Fixed QtCore in various places that caused Platform Security
violations in Symbian if AllFiles capability was missing from the
application. All of these these were caused by trying to access /private
folder unnecessarily, either by Qt code or Open C.
