Marble: Migrate Satellite Plugin to usage of Webpopups

Right now if you enable the Satellites plugin the map will get filled with lots of satellite items. If you click on those and click "Satellite Information"  a window will appear. The first tab of this window contains more detailed information about the satellite's orbit.

The plan for this task is to migrate this dialog (or rather the first tab) to the usage of the webpopupitem that has been created recently: Untar this example view inside a new directory:

devel-home.kde.org/~tackat/satellites.tar.gz

Load the satellite.html into a browser (e.g. Firefox). The whole webpage consists of HTML, CSS and icons. The HTML content should get reworked to have all the dynamic content as variables that get replaced by the actual content at runtime.

Then the HTML file should get displayed inside the webpopup. This can be accomplished via AbstractInfoDialog::setContent().

The maximum width of the content inside the bubble should be between 500 and 600 pixels.

This task is another step towards getting rid of the PlacemarkInfoDialog.
