smb: add hack to support spaces in workgroup names
Summary: workgroup names are as best I can tell always still netbios names which means they can contain a bunch of characters ordinarily not found in valid host names. e.g. spaces this causes trouble with the IANA SMB URI draft, as used by libsmbc, since the workgroup would be the host field of the RI when browsing a workgroup (i.e. filtering hosts that are member of a given workgroup) because QUrl does not allow invalid hostnames in the host field. to bypass this problem we now put the workgroup name into the query of the url as `kio-workgroup`, should it cause trouble in the host field. SMBUrl takes this query into account when constructing the url for smbc. since the latter has uniquely exciting potential for breakage this entire dance is only done when absolutely necessary and otherwise we continue with all the same code and behavior as without this commit. on a side note: the awkward name flexibility seems to not extend to computer names anymore (supposedly because of LLMNR) so this entire use case is already very niche as we (and libsmbclient) currently only support workgroup browsing for NT1 networks, and NT1 is by default not supported on windows10 or samba.
