REVISION SUMMARY
  Show Detailed Tree View by default in KDirOperator. This primarily affects the file open/save dialogs, because other clients generally set their preferred view mode manually.
  
  This change will result in Open & Save dialogs displaying Detailed Tree View by default instead of Simple View (which is being transformed into a primarily visual view mode; see T8552: Polish Open/Save dialogs <https://phabricator.kde.org/T8552>). Detailed Tree View is better for content that is best located by its filename or metadata, which I would wager is more common. Also, bandwagon argument: Windows and GNOME both display the same view by default in their open/save dialogs now (macOS displays the navigation-friendly {Column View} by default, which sadly lacks a KDE equivalent).

TEST PLAN
  Tested in a new user account and opened an Open dialog from Kate:
  
  Checked lxr to make sure that all clients specify a non-default view mode. Some need patching; those patches will be mentioned here:
