Documentation: Briefly explain the download from web service

This sounds rather lame as the app hasn't been released but it is too
useful to not have it in 3.0

Web Service and Companion App
-----------------------------
This part of Subsurface is a bit of 'work in progress'. We are
developing a companion application for Android that will allow you to
track dive sites from your GPS-enabled Android device; at the time of
the Subsurface 3.0 release the app wasn't ready to be submitted to the
Google Play store, but since it is mostly usable when built form
source we left the server side integration in Subsurface.
Assuming you have used the companion app to name and locate dive sites
you can use this menu item to connect to our backend server and
download this data. Enter your userid (you got this when registering
with the web service) and click 'Download'. If the data was
successfully downloaded you can click apply and Subsurface will match
the time stamps of the downloaded location and site name information
with the dives in your log and will add the GPS locations and dive
site names to your dives.
