Android: fix and document QStandardPaths behavior on different versions
Partially revert e1440dd7bc1a5da9a536f88b9733d04ec8fa6e61 for Android versions below 11 which could take advantage of the manifest flag android:requestLegacyExternalStorage. And for other newer versions avoid returning them while adding a note to the docs about this behavior. Pick-to: 6.5 6.4 6.2 5.15 Fixes: QTBUG-108013 Fixes: QTBUG-104892 Task-number: QTBUG-81860 Change-Id: I10851c20e2831bddaa329164c941e2ae71f0a497 Reviewed-by: Ville Voutilainen <ville.voutilainen@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Rami Potinkara <rami.potinkara@qt.io>
