Folder View: don't italicize text for symlinks

Currently we communicate to the user that a file or folder is a symlink in two ways: by italicizing the text, and by badging it with a link emblem. This is a lot of visual notification about a characteristic of the item that is not terribly important to the user's use of it, and feels like visual overkill.

This commit removes the italicizing effect, leaving only the emblem to visually communicate that the item is a symlink.

To avoid having the same discussion in three places, Please use this MR only for technical comments. If you want to discuss the "Should we even do this in the first place?" aspect, let's have that discussion in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461450.

Thanks.
