[Development] Qt and IoT infographic

[Jake Petroules]

I'll find out who wrote that and why.

In our license management systems, there happen to be exactly 12 "platforms" codified, so it's possible someone in marketing looked at a copy of that list in Salesforce or something. That list is:

- X11
- Embedded Linux
- Windows (desktop Windows)
- macOS
- Embedded Windows (i.e. Windows CE, and therefore obsolete)
- Android
- QNX
- VxWorks (which isn't actually an officially supported platform yet aside from that fork of 5.5)
- INTEGRITY
- iOS (tvOS and watchOS aren't yet officially supported either but use the same license platform as iOS)
- UWP (WinRT / Windows Runtime)
- Embedded Android (obsolete?)

Symbian and S40 used to be there too.
