Fix data directory dialog appearing on every startup

Moved setOrganizationName/setApplicationName calls BEFORE
IntroDialog::pickDataDirectory() so QSettings knows where to save the
user's data directory choice.

Previously, QSettings was created without org/app names set, causing
the "strDataDir" setting to be lost, forcing the dialog to appear on
every startup.
