Ensure styles always get to polish the application palette

Before 0a93db4d82c051164923a10e4382b12de9049b45 we would polish the
application palette even when it was the default palette, as we
always recreated the system palette each time a style was set.

After the change we skipped polishing the palette unless it was set
by the user, under the assumption that the style would set its
own default palette if it wanted to override the system palette.

This turned out to break the style's ability to slightly tweak the
palette via polish (versus the more full on standardPalette approach).

We now polish both the default palette and user palettes, and we do
so as part of the normal palette update logic. This ensures that
the style also gets a chance to polish the palette when the platform
theme changes.

The polish will not have an effect on the resolve mask of the palette,
as the polish is conceptually the same as a base palette, and should
not affect e.g. Qt::AA_SetPalette.
