Speedup sort

Summary:
Use a lambda function to use only one QCollator initialized only once.

This requires a workaround for https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-69361
Just a single comparison to force the clean state of QCollator.

Test Plan:
Sorting in a directory with 82874 images:
[TIME] Sorting: 19883  (before)
[TIME] Sorting: 4198 (after)

kfileitemmodelbenchmark before: ..............   Passed   29.36 sec
kfileitemmodelbenchmark after:    ..............   Passed   20.39 sec
