Adding more detail about multiple trackers (#418)

Browse Source 
I had to dig through forums to figure out that you just add multiple fields to the device to track it, though I am still not sure if OwnTracks and iCloud can be used on the same device.  

I figured it would be better to expand an example here.

Once tracked, a file will be created in your config dir called `known_devices.yaml`. Edit this file to adjust which devices to be tracked. Here you can also setup a URL for each device to be used as the entity picture and set whether the device will be show in the UI when in the away state.
Multiple device trackers can be used in parallel, such as [Owntracks](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/) and [Nmap](/components/device_tracker.nmap_scanner/). The state of the device will be determined by the source that reported last. Device tracker will look for global settings (track_new_devices, consider_home and home_interval) under the configuration of the first platform.

To add Nmap tracking just add the mac address to the OwnTracks or iCloud device `mac:` configuration. To use both OwnTracks and Nmap you could use the following example:
```
owntracksdevicename:
name: Friendly Name!
mac: EA:AA:55:E7:C6:94
picture:
track: yes
hide_if_away: no
```
