R241:8b34864135f8: Remove handling of privilege operation confirmation prompts from KIO::Job

Summary

Letting KIO::Job handle these prompts is pointless because an application can always choose not to show these prompts
(by connecting privilegeOperationRequested signal to an empty slot) thus compromising security.

Test Plan

All the tests in privilegejobtest pass.

src/core/job.cpp
325–326	This overwrites m_data everytime, so it might as well be a local variable.
src/core/job_p.h
91–92	Is this variable really necessary? It seems to me that we'd better off without it.

removed m_data

src/core/job.cpp
269	This feels like C code ;)
270–319	Either declare a var here, or return that directly (after swapping with next statement of course).
325–326	And here you can declare another QByteArray, more locally.
