Enable page-zoom in mythbrowser

Description

The browser has been redesigned for the new QtWebKit for 0.22, but is still using the old zoom functions that is based on font scaling. Unfortunately, many web-designers are obsessed with layout control which create problems with font-scaling when frames and container-objects have fixed size. Recent webkit versions support full-page-zoom which give a better result on most webpages. To enable page-zoom in mythbrowser require nothing more than a change of zoom method. Three instances of "setTextSizeMultiplier" in mythuiwebbrowser.cpp must be replaced with "setZoomFactor".

(In [22361]) In the web browser widget use setZoomFactor() rather than setTextSizeMultiplier() if qt >= 4.5.0.

setZoomFactor() changes the size of the entire page, not just the text, which has the advantage of keeping the page layout the same but is only available on Qt4.5.0 or later. Fixes #7249.
