Remove broken wild card list from QMake's help output

The description of the project mode looked like this:

  -project       Put qmake into project file generation mode
                 In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
                 be built,
                 defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc

The list of wildcards is incomplete. Unfortunately the file extensions
are defined in QMAKE_EXT_* variables in mkspecs, and the help display
code has no access to that data. This went unnoticed for quite some
time, and fixing this is too involved considering the gain.

Replace the text above with the static text below:

  -project       Put qmake into project file generation mode
                 In this mode qmake interprets [files] as files to
                 be added to the .pro file. By default, all files with
                 known source extensions are added.
