Remove caching of QGraphicsItem::clipPath().

The cache was added in 4.5 and was useful at that time. With 4.6
it is not relevant anymore since the only use case for it is item-lookup
releated to mouse events and collision detection, so the overhead of
maintaining the cache is more pain than gain.

All existing auto tests pass.
