QPlatformWindow: change API for QPlatformWindow::setWindowFlags

The current implementation requests the platform window to set
as many of the flags it can, and return the same flags with the
unsupported flags removed.

The problem with this approach is that the platform window is created
as late as possible, so a call to QWindow::setWindowFlags would in
many (most?) cases never be forwarded to the platform window (instead,
the platform window is responsible to check the current window flags
upon creation). As such, the filtering would never be done.
Looking at the current set of plugins, most of them also seems to
ignore this protocol, returning the flags unfiltered.

This patch suggests removing the return value from
QPlatformWindow::setWindowFlags. This will at least be consistent, so
that setting/getting flags would produce the same result independent of
delayed window creation. If needed, we can later add new API to
QPlatformIntegration or QPlatformWindow for querying supported window
flags.
