Text widgets: document find() behavior with QRegularExpression
The various find() overloads that take a QRE *ignore* the case sensitivity option set on the QRE object itself. They instead apply the case sensitivity passed in the flags (see QTextDocument::find). I think it was an historic mishap, but it's too late to change now. Amend the documentation.
