QCompleter::splitPath(): don't get tangled up in strings

- Don't store "\\" as a QString just for passing it to QString:.startsWith()
  and prepend(). Keep it a QLatin1String.
  -> one allocation less

- Don't use said QString as a flag, use a bool

- Don't store QDir::separator() in a QString
  -> one allocation less
  -> two indexing operations less

- Don't retrieve QDir::separator() from said QString as QString(sep[0])
  -> one more allocation less

- Don't look for a QChar in a string by using QRegExp; use the QChar
  overload instead
  -> one more allocation (at _least_) less

- Don't convert QDir::separator() with QDir::fromNativeSeparators(); it will
  _always_ be '/'...
  -> one expensive function call less
  -> two QString allocations less
  -> one QString(QChar) introduced
     -> one allocation more
        -> could be removed with QStringLiteral/QString::fromLatin1Char()
