macOS: Better document plain-text code-path in QMacPasteboard::retrieveData

Browse Source 
Due to PasteboardCopyItemFlavorData converting newlines to '\r' for some
UTIs we have traditionally had to shortcut these UTIs via NSStringPboardType
instead of the mime converters such as QMacPasteboardMimeUnicodeText.

Let's explain this a bit better for future generations.

Note that public.utf8-plain-text doesn't seem to have this problem
anymore, but it's left in for now to not cause any regressions due
to behavior change.
