This no longer is range-length preserving now, so adapt the
documentation.
For the non-contiguous iterator case, it's actually ok to always
resize(0) and then append(), because, unlike for QList and QVLA, the
resize(0) doesn't actually iterate the container to destroy
elements. It just sets some members and conveniently detach()es for
us.
The char8_t case is even more complicated, since we can, atm, not
include qstringconverter.h into qstring.h, yet qstringconverter is
required for stateful UTF-8 decoding in the input_iterator case. So
that's postponed to yet another patch, and maybe won't make it into
6.6. But I feel it's important to have at least one
non-length-preserving version of assign(it, it) in before release lest
users come to rely on this documented (and de-facto) feature of the
the step-2 assign().
