Correct compositionMode documentation
Most composition modes require an alpha-channel to be meaningful, but not all, and there is no requirements of specific formats. Change-Id: I11e930ccc07e9ff5df06dbda6745e4afb79f5e08 Reviewed-by: Leena Miettinen <riitta-leena.miettinen@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Gunnar Sletta <gunnar@sletta.org>

- When the paint device is a QImage, the image format must be set to

- \l {QImage::Format}{Format_ARGB32} for the composition modes to have

When a composition mode is set it applies to all painting
