Improve QTimeZone's documentation about territories

Clarify that a zone whose territory() is AnyTerritory may simply not
have a known association, or cover several territories.

Added more \sa links to territory(), where relevant.
Fix some surviving uses of country for territory.
Split some long lines.

Returns the territory for the time zone.
A return of \l {QLocale::}{AnyTerritory} means the zone has no known
territorial association. In some cases this may be because the zone has no
associated territory - for example, UTC - or because the zone is used in
several territories - for example, CET. In other cases, the QTimeZone
backend may not know which territory the zone is associated with - for
example, because it is not the primary zone of the territory in which it is
used.
