Do polling based file watching for NFS on linux #2171

Add the ability to detect changes to the opened database if it's on NFS ( linux only ).

@jsachs referred to this fix

Description

Only on linux: before opening a database, check the type of the filesystem and if it's NFS use a polling FileSystemWatcher instead of the (default) inotify based one to detect changes.

Motivation and context

I'm running KeePassXC in an NFS environment.

How has this been tested?

Manually.

Please use the Q_OS_LINUX def that Qt provides or Q_OS_UNIX if this also applies to other *nixes.

I will change it to Q_OS_LINUX as statfs is only available on linux.

See above. Is this header available on other *nix platforms? If not, are there alternatives?

The Windows implementation of the QFilesystemWatcher is based on FindFirstChangeNotification, which has the same problem:
"Notifications may not be returned when calling FindFirstChangeNotification for a remote file system" (MSDN)
It is easy to do the check with PathIsNetworkPath() and enable polling when needed.

I will add this as well.
