build-system: add new root dir backend-shared
WARNING: multi directory commit, needed to secure it builds. leaving the shared backend sources in core, imposes a severe limitation, that they cannot make use of e.g. qt-models, because that is created after core (first library to be created). The shared backend uses functionality from core and qt-models, so it must be created when those are available and before desktop-widgets or mobile-widgets are created. Make a new root directory "backend-shared" with empty CMakeLists.txt Signed-off-by: Jan Iversen <jan@casacondor.com>

+This directory contains shared UI backend code shared between
+the desktop version and the mobile version.
+
+The backend code sits between the actual functionality, which
+are implemented in core and qt-models, and the UI/QML which
+are implemented in desktop-widgets and mobile-widgets.
+
+The idea of backend is not to duplicate code, and at the same time
+limit the UI and QML to only deal with real GUI.
+
+The first implementations for backend are "export" and "diveplanner".
