[Needs Testing] Add documentation on the Batch Add feature I've not been able to see the docs on my build of KStars. Going to Help > KStars Handbook actually opens a Web URL in a browser. Is this expected behavior? If it is, would someone be kind enough to review this change and make sure it follows `doxygen` syntax?

Any objects not in the KStars database already will be resolved using SIMBAD (provided this has been enabled in the Settings) and added to the database. The entire process of adding objects is slow and may take a while, and you can watch the progress in the Status Bar. Any objects that could not be found are then listed in an error message, so you can identify and fix the errors. Usually this may be because SIMBAD expects a different way of specifying the object (e.g. Sim 147 instead of Simeis 147).
