QFileSystemWatcher/Windows: Recreate handle for files

QWindowsFileSystemWatcherEngine uses one change notification
per directory to watch directories or files within that
directory. Adding files and their directories in a sequence
caused the value in QWindowsFileSystemWatcherEngineThread::HandleForDirHash
to be overwritten.
Relax the check for the flags (watcher attributes) to use >= and recreate
the change notification of a directory should its flags be insufficient.
This triggers when a file is added after its directory since files
require more attributes.
