Doc: Update and simplify Supported Platforms informationv5.14.0-rc1

- Ubuntu 16.04 reached end-of-life, remove form supported platforms
- Add SLES 15
- Replace details of supported OS/compiler version(s) with a
  minimum supported version to avoid the info going stale before
  the release end-of-life.
- Link to qt5.git coin provisioning as it provides an always
  up-to-date information on the reference configurations.
- Clarify the statement of platforms supported by the Qt Company
  and platforms supported by Qt as a community.
