xcb: Correctly report whether QInternalMimeData::retrieveData_sys() fails

QMimeData::retrieveData() checks whether the returned QVariant value is
valid, i.e. the variant contains some data. If the variant contains an
empty QByteArray, it will be considered valid.

So retrieveData_sys() should return QVariant() in case data with the
specified mime type cannot be retrieved.

Fixes: QTBUG-125531
Pick-to: 6.5 6.2 5.15
