Correct processEvents documentation

The documentation of processEvents states that it processes all
pending events. However, this is not true for the glib backend
and probably was not true for at least a decade.
QEventDispatcherGlib::processEvents(ProcessEventsFlags)
calls "g_main_context_iteration" which is documented
to only process events of highest priority:
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.66/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#g-main-context-iteration
