[Development] Proposal: New list of Qt 5 reference / Tier 1 platforms

[Kate Alhola]

There are no longer ANY mobile platform among Tier-1 platforms at all.
"linux-arm7-gcc-wayland Linux, ARM7, Wayland. To be specified in more
detail" can be MeeGo/SailFish but that's very little for us, mobile
developers. Why there is not even Android even it is leading mobile
platform and Qt works fine on it.  To have even some degree of reasonable
cross platform story, least Android and iOS should be there.

Qt for mobile is not dead after Nokia but I rather say that it is only
cross platform mobile toolkit. Html5 is only .
