Add WS_CLIPCHILDREN style to native window in embeddedwindows test

When a native/foreign window is used as a parent, its WS_CLIPSCHILDREN
style should be enabled. If it is not, the parent will paint on top of
the children and cause flickering. It is not Qt's responsiblity to
adjust the styles of foreign windows, so instead we document this in the
manual test.
