[Development] Supported platforms for Qt 5.8

[Gunnar Roth]

Hi,
I also like to add that  Win10 IoT is NOT THE successor for wec2013. MS will offer some porting tools,
but as you can see here http://embeddingwindowssuccess.blogspot.de/2015/03/the-future-of-windows-embedded-windows.html <http://embeddingwindowssuccess.blogspot.de/2015/03/the-future-of-windows-embedded-windows.html>
the wec2013 line is continuing, while all other lines end into the windows10 line. The reason is that none of the windows 10 editions has realtime support,
so if you want to (or have to ) use  a MS OS and you need realtime, wec2013 is what is left.	

Regards,
Gunnar
PS.: We are asking our MS contact again because of the MSDN page statements.
