QmlDesigner: Update the documentation for Run dropdown and Qt UI viewer

The Run dropdown button is a new inclusion which has
changed the way how applications can be run or preview
in Qt Design Studio. This document updates the basic
idea of that across a few documents. It also updates
the old Qt UI viewer document to include the new way
of intracting with the Android app and Qt design studio.
