[ui] app: Don't read QSettings again when updating thumbnails for projects

There is no need to read the QSettings again as the content of
`self._recentProjectFiles` reflects their content accurately and they
do not store any thumbnail-related information.

QSettings will now only be read once, upon Meshroom's start.
