QRegularExpression: do not mark as dirty on no-op setters

Quite some code in Qt takes a copy of a QRegularExpression and then
changes something on it (e.g. the case sensitivity) based on some
other criteria:

  QRegularExpression copy = orig;
  if (cond)
    copy.setPatternOptions(copy.patternOptions() | CaseInsensitive);
  use(copy);

This pattern can be found in QAIM, QString-related classes, and so on.
The "problem" is that if the attempted modification is a no-op, we'd
still invalidate the copy object (by detaching). Even if no detaches
are involved, setting the same pattern or options on a QRE object
shouldn't require a relatively expensive pattern recompile.

In summary: don't detach/mark a QRE object as dirty if a setter didn't
actually do a modification.
