Removed obsolete documentation from QPixmap.

This documentation is misleading, as the internal representation of a
QPixmap is not guaranteed to be RGB32 or ARGB32_Premultiplied, and
whether it's stored client side or server side also depends on the
graphicssystem.

-    Depending on the system, QPixmap is stored using a RGB32 or a
-    premultiplied alpha format. If the image has an alpha channel, and
-    if the system allows, the preferred format is premultiplied alpha.
-    Note also that QPixmap, unlike QImage, may be hardware dependent.
-    On X11, Mac and Symbian, a QPixmap is stored on the server side while
-    a QImage is stored on the client side (on Windows, these two classes
-    have an equivalent internal representation, i.e. both QImage and
-    QPixmap are stored on the client side and don't use any GDI
-    resources).

     Note that the pixel data in a pixmap is internal and is managed by
     the underlying window system. Because QPixmap is a QPaintDevice
     subclass, QPainter can be used to draw directly onto pixmaps.
