Fix native QFileDialog initial selection for remote URLs

When using QFileDialog::getOpenFileUrl() with dir set to e.g.
"sftp://foo/bar.cpp" we call q->selectDirectoryUrl("sftp://foo")
followed by q->selectFile("bar.cpp").
Inside  QFileDialog::selectFile() we unconditionally convert "bar.cpp"
to an absolute URL and then call d->selectFile_sys("$CWD/bar.cpp")
This then calls platform integration that detects that an absolute URL
is being passed to selectFile() and therefore overrides the initial
directory.

Initially reported as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374913

This is a regression that appeared some time between Qt 5.7.0 and 5.7.1.
I have not had time to bisect this but the only commit that may have
change behavior in that time range appears to be
007f92c6eef6191c48da0c44916591d48813ae62.
