Update the README for building the iOS version

This still isn't quite straight forward, but at least now the README matches
the process that I use again.

Tool repo to crosscompile subsurface for iOS
--------------------------------------------
This is very rough - the interaction between the different tools seems quite
fragile.
The interaction between the different tools seems quite fragile.
Dependencies:
- This only works on a Mac
- XCode with iOS SDK and Qt5.6
- XCode with iOS SDK and Qt5.6 or later
- cmake

Step 2.
Extract and install these into known directories.
Have a look in the top of build.sh for where the cross build tool expects
them. By default thats is: ../../../Qt/5.6
them. Create a symbolic link named Qt in this directory to point to the top
of the Qt installation, e.g.
ln -s ~/Qt5.7.1 Qt

Run bash build.sh in the terminal.

Step 4.
Launch QtCreator with the Subsurface-mobile/Subsurface-mobile.pro
Launch the version of QtCreator that was installed in Step 2 above and open
Subsurface-mobile/Subsurface-mobile.pro
Build Subsurface-mobile in QtCreator - you can build for the simulator and for
a device and even deploy to a connected device.
This will likely require an Apple Developer account ($$$). In order to create a
bundle that can be distributed things get even more complex and the interaction
between QtCreator, Xcode and the Apple Developer Portal is still quite
confusing to me.
Everything up to here you can do without paying for an Apple Developer account.
In order to create a bundle that can be distributed things get even more
complex and an Apple Developer account definitely is necessary in order for you
to be able to sign the bundle.
The easiest way to do that appears to be to open the Subsurface-mobile.xcodeproj
in the build directory that QtCreator used in Xcode and to create an archive there.
