Doc: Add some words about deployment paths
It's very nice that new projects generated by Creator deploy properly
but we really need to say a few words about running existing projects
(for example Qt's own examples).
The Qt examples, say shadereffects from qtdeclarative, won't deploy
by default since target.path is garbage. It has to be manually updated
to /data/user/qt/whatever. Document this.
