kcms/keys: position expand button correctly with elided shortcut text

When the shortcut text is long, the maximum length of its label is
capped so that it elides rather than pushing the button out of the
layout. But it was not accounting for the RowLayout's spacing, so the
button got pushed a little bit anyway.

Instead of this manual calculation, use the simpler horizontal stretch
factor feature.
FIXED-IN: 6.4.6
