[PATCH] QFileSystemEngine: handle copy_file_range() returning ENOSYS error

This shouldn't have happened, because minimum-linux_p.h would have
declared our need for a Linux kernel 4.5 or higher. I think the issue is
not the kernel, but a container wrapping the Qt application and
filtering system calls for security. If this container hasn't been
updated to know about the system call, it may cause an ENOSYS error.

Because we now handle the condition, this commit removes the 4.5 minimum
Linux version requirement from minimum-linux_p.h.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QFile] Added a workaround to a compatibility issue
of the copy() implementation in some containerized Linux environments,
which could cause the file copy to fail with a "Function not
implemented" error. This is believed to be a bug in the container
runtime, not Qt, in that the container wrongly filtered the
copy_file_range(2) system call that the Linux kernel supports.

Fixes: QTBUG-144142
