QTextStream: Extract Method padding() from putString()

This is in preparation of adding a putString(QLatin1String) overload.

To keep the change simple, I kept the construction of the padChar
chain per putString() call. It probably makes sense to have a
QString::resize(int, QChar) to perform the padding operation in-place.

Let's leave that for another changeset.
