Subject: QStandardPaths: warn if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR doesn't exist

If the environment variable is set, but points to a non-existing directory,
the user would get a warning about chmod failing. Better be clear and
warn about the fact that the directory itself doesn't exist.

Also warn if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to a file rather than a directory.

Task-number: QTBUG-48771
