[normative] QUIP-6: mention that moving stuff between headers is SiC B
Even though it's technically SiC A, at least if the target header
already existed in the SC epoch, we decided that we don't want to
bother our users with these when we hit this issue with qVersion()
being moved from qglobal.h into a header not included from qglobal.h.
