QSslDiffieHellmanParameters: simplify defaultParameters() construction

This commit simplifies defaultParameters() to simply construct an empty
QSslDiffieHellmanParameters and assigning the DER-form of the DH parameters
to QSslDiffieHellmanParametersPrivate's derData field.

This creates a valid QSslDiffieHellmanParameters instance, but skips any
potentially expensive verification steps.

The previous implementation of defaultParameters() would use the public
fromEncoded() method to construct an instance of the default parameters.
This triggers a verification of the passed-in data, which can be expensive.

To ensure our defaultParameters() QSslDiffieHellmanParameters instance does
pass verification, this commit adds an autotest to verify that.

Fixes QTBUG-57815.
