Doc: Document how to treat qt_add_big_resources args as source files

The arguments to qt_add_big_resources are not known to CMake as source
files.

They need to be added explicitly to a CMake target in order for Qt Creator
to treat them as source files and in the case of a qrc file to expand
the contents in the project view.

This allows to embed bigger resources, where compiling to C++ sources and then
to binaries would be too time consuming or memory intensive.
