Qt: simplify the preview of control mappings/expressions by removing …

…their device path

and replacing it with a ":" prefix. Also remove white spaces and \n \t \r.

bugfix: fix EmulatedController::GetStateLock() not being aquired when reading the
expression reference
bugfix: MappingButton::UpdateIndicator() calling State(0) on outputs, breaking ongoing
rumbles if a game was running
Improvement: make expressions previews appear in Italic if they failed to parse correctly
