Update documentation regarding import/export restrictions for OpenSSL

Browse Source 
From Qt 5.12.5 and 5.13.0 on we ship OpenSSL 1.1.x libraries with Qt
through the binary installers, as Qt is a general purpose toolkit and
as such not subject to import/export restrictions.

However, application developers still have to take care of the
relevant requirements and compliance before distributing OpenSSL.

\section1 Import and Export Restrictions
Due to import and export restrictions in some parts of the world, we
are unable to supply the OpenSSL Toolkit with Qt packages. Developers wishing
to use SSL communication in their deployed applications should either ensure
that their users have the appropriate libraries installed, or they should
consult a suitably qualified legal professional to ensure that applications
using code from the OpenSSL project are correctly certified for import
and export in relevant regions of the world.
Qt binary installers include the OpenSSL libraries used by QtNetwork. However,
those are not automatically deployed with applications that are built with Qt.
Import and export restrictions apply for some types of software, and for
some parts of the world. Developers wishing to use SSL communication in their
deployed applications should either ensure that their users have the appropriate
libraries installed, or they should consult a suitably qualified legal
professional to ensure that applications using code from the OpenSSL project
are correctly certified for import and export in relevant regions of the world.
