Sample program to reproduce the bug

SUMMARY
QFileDialog allows the use of named filters, e.g. QFileDialog::setNameFilters to set filters and QFileDialog::selectedNameFilter to retrieve the currently selected filter.

However, QFileDialog::selectedNameFilter currently doesn't return the full name of the actually selected filter when that one contains text in parenthesis in addition to the file extensions when using the KF6 version.
The KF5 one works or non-native Qt one works as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a dummy file to select: `mkdir dummy.ods`
2. compile attached sample program main.cpp with Qt 6 and run it on KDE Plasma 6
3. select the "ODF Spreadsheet" filter in the file dialog
4. select the dummy file created in step 1
5. click "Open"
6. check the output on stderr

OBSERVED RESULT

The returned filter lacks the " (.ods") part that was set in parenthesis before using QFileDialog::setNameFilters: 

> selected filter:  "ODF Spreadsheet (*.ods)"

EXPECTED RESULT

The actually selected filter should be returned including the text in brackets:

> selected filter:  "ODF Spreadsheet (.ods) (*.ods)"

This works as expected when building against Qt 5 instead (so that the KF 5 version is used) or explicitly disabling the use of the native KF 6 implementation by setting the QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog option on the dialog (s. line 17 in the sample program, recompile with that line uncommented to make it work).

Don't truncate filter name containing parenthesis

When extracting the part of the string that contains the
filter name, use the part in front of the *last* parenthesis,
not the first one, since otherwise the name gets truncated
if it contains parenthesis itself, e.g. in a call like

    QFileDialog dialog;
    dialog.setNameFilters({"ODF Spreadsheet (.ods) (*.ods)"});

This is in line with the fact that
`QPlatformFileDialogHelper::cleanFilterList` just considers
those extensions in the last set of parenthesis and aligns
the behavior with the non-native QFileDialog implementation
that the Qt library itself provides, as well as the KF 5
implementation.
