QFileSelector: Preserve path to root directory

While QFileSelector is documented to work on files, select accepts
arbitrary URLs. Moreover, the QML engine can end up intercepting
arbitrary (user provided) URLs, including to directories.
Prior to this change, passing "file:///" or "/" to the function would
break: We would temporarily get a "//" path, which is invalid, and thus
we would return an invalid in the end.
Prevent this by only appending a slash to the path when it doesn't have
one.
