Make UTF-8 the default encoding for QString and tr()

As all our source files are in UTF-8 (and Qt5 even requires them to
be), we can just tell Qt4 to treat them as that. So no need anymore
to use QString::fromUtf8() for literals.

This also makes it possible to use string literals in brace
initializers for QString.
