[Qbs] File.exists() documentation

Hi together,

how about extending the documentation of "File.exists()" to contain the 
sideeffect when using it inside "Probe.configure" ?

A few minutes ago I found a really old bug in one of our Probe codes - 
leading to expensive resolves each time - just because I did not expect 
this "File.exists()" behaviour.

I did not check yet whether other methods affect the build graph as well 
and whether the documentation needs a note wrt. sideeffects.

Thanks!


/Kind regards,/
