1940f0c7be Rework documentation of the serialization converter example
The documentation was previously code-heavy and short on exposition,
while focusing almost entirely on the CBOR converters. Prune most of
the CBOR code quotes, shuffle some snippet markers, add and remove
others and rewrite the main text.

Shift focus to the base-class for converters and how it's used by
main(). Retain relative focus on the CBOR converters, as they are
relatively full-featured hence illustrate more than the others do, and
replace the sequence of single-line sections about the others with a
section collecting all into a table and saying some general things
about them.

a9c47dde50 Rename Convert Example to Serialization Converter
The old name didn't say what sort of thing it was converting; and our
guidelines for examples discourage using the word Example in the
title. Also reword the description of the tool in the command-line
parser and an assertion.

b9787a3985 Replace the image to illustrate the Serialization Converter
The old image wasted a log of space, was poorly legible and showed
little more than the cbordump example's illustration shows. Make
explicit that we get an initial CBOR file from savegame, show how it
can be converted to and from XML (idempotently) and still find space
to show the same thing as before. All more legibly and in a smaller
file.

eaebb5c4d2 Separate streaming dumper and converter in the convert example
The two were in the same files but mostly unrelated to one another -
aside from the converter defaulting to the dumper for output.
Furthermore, the dumper actually uses QDebug and QTextStream, not
QDataStream; rename it to reflect this reality.

1371cd107a Add metadata to serialization examples
There's no separate category for {de,}serialization, so I've put them
in Input/Output; and at least some of them are relevant to
transmission over the network, so include that as a tag, so that
someone writing a network application that wants to use what they
illustrate gets a chance of being lead to it.
