FileChooser: Properly preselect MIME filter passed as "current_filter"

Michael Weghorn requested to merge (removed):michaelweghorn/fix_preselection_mimeTypefilter into master

This fixes the preselection of a MIME type filter passed as current_filter.

Other than the KFileWidget::setFilter case, calling KFileWidget::setMimeFilter does not select the first filter in the list, but takes an explicit (optional) parameter which of the filters to preselect, "otherwise, a first item showing all the mimetypes will be created". (https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/classKFileWidget.html#acdb884df2e08aa11c92adc1f96b6b2c1)

In order to test this, the sample program from QTBUG-85658 can be used (together with a Qt version that contains the fix for that one).

In step 6 of the steps to reproduce described there, "plain text document, PDF document" is preselected in the file dialog without this fix here present, whereas it should be just "plain text document".
