KDirSelectDialog: Fix layout sizing issues

Luke Horwell requested to merge lahseven/plasma-integration:kdirselectdialog_fixes into master

The directory picker got a bit of love by fixing some usability issues that were bothering me, and for minor consistency with the load/save file dialog.

Fixes:

  • Bug 421247 - Fixes the sidebar width, so it can go smaller.
  • Bug 500435 - Add state config so the sidebar width is remembered.

Improves:

  • Bug 499179 - Improve the layout and enforce a minimum window size to prevent it visually breaking.
    • I can't consider it fixed, as it could still rarely happen, depending on the initial state (dimensions?).
    • If QSplitter became a QDockWidget (like kio/KFileWidget), that might fix that bug.
      • I had a couple of attempts, but I'm not confident to make that change right now.

Changes were applied to Qt 5 and Qt 6 versions. Only the Qt 6 version was tested.

A quick way to test is kdialog --getexistingdirectory
