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.
