QLatin1String: add constructor from pointer pair

This is often more natural than (ptr, len), and I need it in the
implementation of QLatin1String::trimmed().

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QLatin1String] Added a constructor taking two
pointers, complementing the constructor that takes a pointer and a
length.

+
+    Constructs a QLatin1String object that stores \a first with length
+    (\a last - \a first).
+
+    The range \c{[first,last)} must remain valid for the lifetime of
+    this Latin-1 string object.
+
+    Passing \c nullptr as \a first is safe if \a last is \c nullptr,
+    too, and results in a null Latin-1 string.
+
+    The behavior is undefined if \a last precedes \a first, \a first
+    is \c nullptr and \a last is not, or if \c{last - first >
+    INT_MAX}.
