Unify the \since base line version for qdoc

The first stable API release is Qt 5.8. It makes no sense to document
the changes before 5.8. Furthermore the meaning of \since 5.8 before this
tag was rather unknown. It could have meant the function was changed or added.
This double meaning disappears once a compatibility statement is in place.
