Improve the findfiles example: use QDirIterator, etc

It hasn't been necessary for a long time now to write the recursive file-find function manually. It has just been an obscurely documented feature of QDirIterator for far too long. Demonstrate the new QLocale::formattedDataSize() function. Also sync up the qdoc description of this example with the recent changes.
