Distinguish macOS aliases from normal symbolic links

The deprecated Carbon function FSIsAliasFile() returned isAlias only for
actual aliases, whereas the replacement CFURLCopyResourcePropertyForKey
with kCFURLIsAliasFileKey returns true for both aliases and symbolic
links.

Since we didn't explicitly check for AliasType in any of our internal
code, or or any of the public API, the distinction did not cause any
issues, but if we want to expose QFileInfo::isAlias() we need to fix
this.
