QDir: add note to docs about isAbsolutePath(":foo") returning true

As can be seen in the _q_resolveEntryAndCreateLegacyEngine_recursive method
in QFileSystemEngine, paths starting with ':' are treated as QResources,
which means that from QFileInfo's POV they're "not relative", which is why
QDir::isAbsolutePath would return true.
