Desktop scaling inversely scales mythfrontend

Description

When desktop scaling is not 1.0, mythfrontend is scaled inversely so a 4k display with scaling set to 1.5 (under kde) makes the UI appear at 2560x1440 instead of 3840x2160: 

2019-01-27 16:07:14.117391 I  mythuihelper.cpp:260:GetScreenBounds  MythUIHelper: Primary screen: 0.
2019-01-27 16:07:14.117421 I  mythuihelper.cpp:314:GetScreenBounds  MythUIHelper: Using screen 0, 2560x1440 at 0,0
2019-01-27 16:07:14.145047 N  DisplayRes.cpp:64:Initialize  Desktop video mode: 3840x2160 59.997 Hz

Although the whole screen is covered, the UI is only shown in part of it (see attachment).

Setting Qt::AA_DisableHighDpiScaling in the application seems to fix the problem but is only available from QT 5.6 onwards.

This doesn't only affect hidpi displays. A laptop with 1920x1080 but desktop scaling set to 1.2 shows the same issue.
