QDir/QFileInfo: add doc notes about paths starting with ':'
This is an addendum to commit 0da5726a43b; making the note about paths
starting with ':' being treated as absolute paths by the underlying
QFileSystemEngine, more visible, so that users of the class don't hit
that pitfall.
Add similar docs to QFileInfo.
