[PreviewJob] Remove maximum size for local files by default

Details

Summary

Dolphin already special-cased this and removed the UI configuration for it.
This meant that you would never get previews for larger files anywhere else, especially noticeable in FolderView.

Test Plan

I now get previews for large PDF files on my desktop, once I enabled the PDF thumbnailer (selection of default previewers is a discussion for another time…)
It can still be configured, if so desired, by using

[PreviewSettings]
MaximumSize=...

(probably needs some obscure #include for some compilers again…)

File preview is also used in Krusader. Please add us to subscribers for behaviour changes. Thanks.

In that case you might want to look at the fixes I just committed for https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208625
