Add new Satellite Information example
[ChangeLog][QtPositioning] New SatelliteInfo example added. The example displays the signal strength of surrounding satellites. The example employs a demo mode on those platforms which don't provide satellite information Change-Id: I573266c7a4429c0d2f1bcdfeb01af52ad02efba7 Reviewed-by: Aaron McCarthy <mccarthy.aaron@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Blasche <alexander.blasche@digia.com>

+/*!
+ \example satelliteinfo
+ \title SatelliteInfo (C++/QML)
+
+ \brief The SatelliteInfo example shows how the available satellites
+ at the user's current position and marks the satellites
+ currently contributing to the GPS fix as pink.
+
+ \ingroup qtpositioning-examples
+
+ Key Qt Positioning classes used in this example:
+
+ \list
+ \li \l{QGeoSatelliteInfo}
+ \li \l{QGeoSatelliteInfoSource}
+ \endlist
+
+ \image ../images/example-satelliteinfo.png
+
+ The example displays the signal strength of all satellites in view. Any satellite
+ that is currently used to calculate the GPS fix has been marked pink. The number at
+ the bottom of each signal bar is the individual satellite identifier.
+
+ The application operates in three different modes:
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \li Application mode
+ \li Description
+ \row
+ \li running
+ \li The application continuously queries the system for satellite updates. When new data
+ is available it will be displayed.
+ \row
+ \li stopped
+ \li The application stops updating the satellite information.
+ \row
+ \li single
+ \li The application makes a single update request with a timeout of 10s. The display
+ remains empty until the request was answered by the system.
+ \endtable
+
+ If the platform does not provide satellite information the application automatically
+ switches into a demo mode whereby it continuously switches between predefined
+ sets of satellite data.
