Fix BC break with QAbstractFileEngine "mount points"

File system cached metadata can't be trusted when custom file engines
are in use, because the custom file engine may want to override the
metadata. (e.g. present an archive file as a directory)

Therefore, check if a file engine should be instantiated for each
result in QDirIterator. This is a fast check if no custom file engines
are registered.
When pushing a directory (using QDirIterator::SubDirectories) the
file engine needs to be instantiated also.
