The file creation dialog in Dolphin should only highlight the basename when creating a file.

As it is now, everything including the extension is selected, so you can't just type the file name and hit Enter to create it.

Basically, it should behave like the file save dialog
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75879

How to reproduce:
* Go to Dolphin's menu - (File) - Create New - select any file that usually has an extension, like .txt or .html
* everything will be highlighted, including the extension

This would need to be implemented somewhere in kio/src/filewidgets/knewfilemenu.cpp.
