QDir: port from QStringRef/split() to QStringView/tokenize()

Port away from random-access of the returned sequences. That's
neither necessary nor does it make the code more readable than
the alternative single-pass implementation used here.

As a drive-by, make applying NRVO more likely by re-using the
`result` variable for all returns after its declaration.
