doc: Add note about platform support for window positions
On some platforms, such as Wayland (and also eglfs), manual window
positioning is not supported. Since this has caused confusion in the
past, we add a note to the documentation.
Pick-to: 6.2 6.5
Fixes: QTBUG-86780
Change-Id: Idf8dcdfad8ccfb9eb0f704fce05216562e433e20
