Add documentation of Custom URL requests

Adds basic documentation to the API. Though the API is still private
we would like people to experiment with it, which is easy if it is
documented.

+    \brief The QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler Base class for handling custom URL schemes.
+    \since 5.5
+    \internal
+
+    To implement a custom URL scheme for QtWebEngine you must write a class derived from this class,
+    and reimplement requestStarted().
+
+    To install a custom URL scheme handler into a QtWebProfile, you only need to call the constructor
+    with the correct profile. Each instance of a QWebEngineUrlSchemeHandler can only handle requests
+    from a single profile.
