Remove QTextCodec dependency from QClipboard

QClipboard used QTextCodec to convert the war clipboard data to
a QString. HTML is nowadays always encoded as utf8, and we were only
supporting utf based encodings for other text.

Add a qFromUtfEncoded() to our UTF helpers that auto detects utf16
and utf32 byte order marks, and assumes utf8 otherwise, to keep
this compatible with what we have been doing in Qt 5.
