Use QThreadPool for torrent creation

The change is in preparation for adding the possibility to create
torrent files via the API.

Rework TorrentCreatorThread to be a more lightweight QRunnable class.
The parameters are now defined on construction time and are fixed
throughout the lifecycle of the TorrentCreator. The lifecycle of the
object is not bound to the one of QDialog anymore; it is now handled
by the QThreadPool. This will enable easier queueing of multiple torrent
creation jobs without risk of spawning many threads.

PR #19500.
