[Development] Mismatch of display resolutions and window sizes in Android applications

[Morten Sørvig]

This is by design for Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling: you get the logical window size. The 
physical size can be computed by multiplying with QQuickWindow::effectiveDevicePixelRatio().

For QtLocation it looks like you have to enable high-dpi tiles by setting “osm.mapping.highdpi_tiles"
(or a similar option, depending on which tile provider you are using).
