It's only called in exceptional circumstances, so the compiler should
optimize it for size, not speed, and paths leading up to calls to this
functions should be automatically marked as [[unlikely]].
Marking the function as cold accomplishes both.
GCC 11 seems to have had this figured out by itself, possibly
backtracking from the unconditional qWarning() in the first line of
the function, but it did have a (very small) effect on Clang 15, so
leave it in, if only as documentation.
Pick-to: 6.6 6.5 6.2
