Doc: Rename and update the Supported Platforms page
Rename the Supported Platforms page to 'Community Supported Platforms', link to the separately-maintained page for platforms officially supported by The Qt Company, and update the language on the page. Specifically, - Mention Qt Quick 2D Renderer as an alternative to running Qt Quick on OpenGL-enabled platform - Drop the mention of Qt Quick 1 (deprecated) - Replace 'Digia' with 'The Qt Company' where suitable - Update links to this page Change-Id: I9affd7f5b7d13e85d6a945188b29bab64dc172f3 Reviewed-by: Venugopal Shivashankar <venugopal.shivashankar@digia.com> Reviewed-by: Leena Miettinen <riitta-leena.miettinen@theqtcompany.com>
