Move Qt Core examples under a common subdirectory

Qt Core examples were scattered into several subdirectories under
qtbase/examples. This caused an issue with the example manifest
file generated by QDoc; it expects to find all examples under a
common directory in order to produde correct paths to the example
.pro files. Qt Creator will not find the examples without a valid
manifest file.

This change moves the examples and edits the documentation files
accordingly.

-  \example sharedmemory
-  \title Shared Memory Example
-  \ingroup examples-ipc
-  \brief Demonstrates doing inter-process communication using shared memory with
-  the QSharedMemory class.
-
-  The Shared Memory example shows how to use the QSharedMemory class
-  to implement inter-process communication using shared memory. To
-  build the example, run make. To run the example, start two instances
-  of the executable. The main() function creates an \l {QApplication}
-  {application} and an instance of our example's Dialog class. The
-  dialog is displayed and then control is passed to the application in
-  the standard way.
-
-  \snippet sharedmemory/main.cpp 0
-
-  Two instances of class Dialog appear.
-
-  \image sharedmemory-example_1.png Screenshot of the Shared Memory example
-
-  Class Dialog inherits QDialog. It encapsulates the user interface
-  and an instance of QSharedMemory. It also has two public slots,
-  loadFromFile() and loadFromMemory() that correspond to the two
-  buttons on the dialog.
-
-  \snippet sharedmemory/dialog.h 0
-
-  The constructor builds the user interface widgets and connects the
-  clicked() signal of each button to the corresponding slot function.
-
-  \snippet sharedmemory/dialog.cpp 0
-
-  Note that "QSharedMemoryExample" is passed to the \l {QSharedMemory}
-  {QSharedMemory()} constructor to be used as the key. This will be
-  used by the system as the identifier of the underlying shared memory
-  segment.
-
-  Click the \tt {Load Image From File...} button on one of the
-  dialogs. The loadFromFile() slot is invoked. First, it tests whether
-  a shared memory segment is already attached to the process. If so,
-  that segment is detached from the process, so we can be assured of
-  starting off the example correctly.
-
-  \snippet sharedmemory/dialog.cpp 1
-
-  The user is then asked to select an image file using
-  QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(). The selected file is loaded into a
-  QImage. Using a QImage lets us ensure that the selected file is a
-  valid image, and it also allows us to immediately display the image
-  in the dialog using setPixmap().
-
-  Next the image is streamed into a QBuffer using a QDataStream. This
-  gives us the size, which we then use to \l {QSharedMemory::}
-  {create()} our shared memory segment. Creating a shared memory
-  segment automatically \l {QSharedMemory::attach()} {attaches} the
-  segment to the process. Using a QBuffer here lets us get a pointer
-  to the image data, which we then use to do a memcopy() from the
-  QBuffer into the shared memory segment.
-
-  \snippet sharedmemory/dialog.cpp 2
-
-  Note that we \l {QSharedMemory::} {lock()} the shared memory segment
-  before we copy into it, and we \l {QSharedMemory::} {unlock()} it
-  again immediately after the copy. This ensures we have exclusive
-  access to the shared memory segment to do our memcopy(). If some
-  other process has the segment lock, then our process will block
-  until the lock becomes available.
-
-  Note also that the function does not \l {QSharedMemory::} {detach()}
-  from the shared memory segment after the memcopy() and
-  unlock(). Recall that when the last process detaches from a shared
-  memory segment, the segment is released by the operating
-  system. Since this process only one that is attached to the shared
-  memory segment at the moment, if loadFromFile() detached from the
-  shared memory segment, the segment would be destroyed before we get
-  to the next step.
-
-  When the function returns, if the file you selected was qt.png, your
-  first dialog looks like this.
-
-  \image sharedmemory-example_2.png Screenshot of the Shared Memory example
-
-  In the second dialog, click the \tt {Display Image From Shared
-  Memory} button. The loadFromMemory() slot is invoked. It first \l
-  {QSharedMemory::attach()} {attaches} the process to the same shared
-  memory segment created by the first process. Then it \l
-  {QSharedMemory::lock()} {locks} the segment for exclusive access and
-  links a QBuffer to the image data in the shared memory segment. It
-  then streams the data into a QImage and \l {QSharedMemory::unlock()}
-  {unlocks} the segment.
-
-  \snippet sharedmemory/dialog.cpp 3
-
-  In this case, the function does \l {QSharedMemory::} {detach()} from
-  the segment, because now we are effectively finished using
-  it. Finally, the QImage is displayed. At this point, both dialogs
-  should be showing the same image. When you close the first dialog,
-  the Dialog destructor calls the QSharedMemory destructor, which
-  detaches from the shared memory segment. Since this is the last
-  process to be detached from the segment, the operating system will
-  now release the shared memory.

-  \class Dialog
-
-  \brief This class is a simple example of how to use QSharedMemory.
-
-  It is a simple dialog that presents a few buttons. To compile the
-  example, run make in qt/examples/ipc. Then run the executable twice
-  to create two processes running the dialog. In one of the processes,
-  press the button to load an image into a shared memory segment, and
-  then select an image file to load. Once the first process has loaded
-  and displayed the image, in the second process, press the button to
-  read the same image from shared memory. The second process displays
-  the same image loaded from its new loaction in shared memory.
-*/
-
-/*!
-  The class contains a data member \l {QSharedMemory} {sharedMemory},
-  which is initialized with the key "QSharedMemoryExample" to force
-  all instances of Dialog to access the same shared memory segment.
-  The constructor also connects the clicked() signal from each of the
-  three dialog buttons to the slot function appropriate for handling
-  each button.

-/*!
-  This slot function is called when the \tt {Load Image From File...}
-  button is pressed on the firs Dialog process. First, it tests
-  whether the process is already connected to a shared memory segment
-  and, if so, detaches from that segment. This ensures that we always
-  start the example from the beginning if we run it multiple times
-  with the same two Dialog processes. After detaching from an existing
-  shared memory segment, the user is prompted to select an image file.
-  The selected file is loaded into a QImage. The QImage is displayed
-  in the Dialog and streamed into a QBuffer with a QDataStream.
-
-  Next, it gets a new shared memory segment from the system big enough
-  to hold the image data in the QBuffer, and it locks the segment to
-  prevent the second Dialog process from accessing it. Then it copies
-  the image from the QBuffer into the shared memory segment. Finally,
-  it unlocks the shared memory segment so the second Dialog process
-  can access it.
-
-  After this function runs, the user is expected to press the \tt
-  {Load Image from Shared Memory} button on the second Dialog process.
