Use WebEnginePart to download URLs before opening them

Stefano Crocco requested to merge stefanocrocco/konqueror:have-webenginepart-download-urls into master

This is in preparation for the removal of kcookiejar in KF6 (see discussion #4). Since kcookiejar will be removed, there won't be any way for WebEnginePart to share cookies with applications which use KIO to load the URLs to open. This would create problems to open which can only be accessed after authentication. To avoid this problem, now WebEnginePart download the URL to a local file and the appropriate part or application is then asked to open the local file.

NOTE: this is only enabled when Konqueror is build with Qt6
