Clarify use of Q_INIT_RESOURCE
The Q_INIT_RESOURCE macro is needed if a library itself uses resources, in
which case the Q_INIT_RESOURCE can and should happen in the library (like
we do for eg. widget styles), or if a library exposes resources that are
supposed to be used by the library clients, in which case the macro needs
to be put in the application code.
The distinction between the two, and the fact that resources built as part
of the main executable do not need the explicit initialization, were not
all that clear.
This was evident by the lack of Q_INIT_RESOURCE in our own Qt libraries,
and the various Q_INIT_RESOURCE calls in our examples where they are not
needed.
