QFtp: commandFinished is not emitted with non-existent IP address is used

To reproduce: run the Qt network/ftp example. Enter an non-existent IP address from your network (ex. 10.3.4.44).
The program will try to connect forever. The signal commandFinished is never emitted. Verified on Qt 4.3.5 and 4.4.0.

The same can be verified in the network/http example.

Note1: entering non-existing addresses like www.google12345.com will not block the application as when using an IP address.
Note2: setting a timer to call the abort() slot has no effect.

wait with fixing that bug until we decide whether there will be a new FTP backend for the Network Access API soon. As a current workaround, check for the stateChanged() signal changing to QFtp::Unconnected.

Can't reproduce on the http example, but appears on the FTP one.
