Doc: Update signals and slots introduction page

Use this as context in connect to functors/lambdas.
Add description of the use of context in connects.
Update the simple example to make it slightly less
confusing for (new) readers.

     You can also connect to functors or C++11 lambdas:
 
     \code
-    connect(sender, &QObject::destroyed, [=](){ this->m_objects.remove(sender); });
+    connect(sender, &QObject::destroyed, this, [=](){ this->m_objects.remove(sender); });

+    In both these cases, we provide \a this as context in the call to connect().

     The other way to connect a signal to a slot is to use QObject::connect()
     and the \c{SIGNAL} and \c{SLOT} macros.
