Remove Qt 4.3 binary compatibility for MSVC

When we removed the useless "const" in the return type, we broke
compatibility with a few compilers that include the return type in the
mangling. We don't need that anymore in Qt 5.

This change should have had a ### Qt5 mark everywhere, not just in a
comment in qstring.cpp.
