QList - fix QList::erase when the list is shared

Before calls to erase on a shared instance would in release mode
imply that items were removed from the shared data (i.e all instances).
In debug mode it would assert.

This patch improves the behavior to detach and erase items
specified by the iterator(s) (i.e same behavior as QVector)
