Markus Armbruster 1428502c8c qapi: Belatedly adjust limitations documentation
Commit 57df0dff1a "qapi: Extend -compat to set policy for unstable
interfaces" (v6.2.0) took care of covering experimental features, but
neglected to adjust a comment suggesting to cover it.  Adjust it now.

# Policy for handling deprecated management interfaces.
#
# This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces.
#
# Limitation: covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
# with feature 'deprecated'. We may want to extend it to cover
# semantic aspects and CLI.
#
# Limitation: deprecated-output policy @hide is not implemented for
# enumeration values. They behave the same as with policy @accept.
