Update the QMetaMethod::tag() documentation due to moc expanding macros
Since 34a3b63dc7d3b09342647537d378f5a55d0c81f0 (Qt 5.0), moc expands macros to their defined values. This broke the example of tagging a method: in Qt 4, it never expanded anything, so the tag was always visible and extracted. Now it's necessary to avoid defining it to empty when moc is run.
