Tor Arne Vestbø 6972b8deea macOS: Reset save dialog extension when resetting file name filter
We map QFileDialog name filters to NSSavePanel.allowedFileTypes, for
example turning "Text Files (*.txt)" into allowedFileTypes = @[@"txt"].
In this case, the NSSavePanel will automatically add the extension to
the user's file name, if they just type "foo".

When a filter allows all files, we reset the allowedFileTypes to nil,
but this does not reset the automatically added extension, so if the
user switches from one filter (*.txt) to another (*.*), the file name
will still have a .txt extension.

This is problematic when the save panel's file name field does not
show the extension to the user, which can happen automatically if
the user types an initial file name without an extension, overriding
what we've asked by setting extensionHidden=NO. When that happens,
the user is shown "foo", but the actual file name is "foo.txt".

To mitigate this confusing situation we do a round-trip via the
UTTypeDirectory content type, which is a valid type without any
extension. This forces the save panel to remove any extensions
added automatically by previous filters.
