Reto Schneider 7eabab2f5d samples, tests: Use semi-accurate project names
When using an IDE (e.g. Eclipse, Qt Creator), the project name gets
displayed. This greatly simplifies the navigation between projects when
having many of them open at the same time. Naming every project "NONE"
defeats this functionality.

This patch tries to use sensible project names while not duplicating
too much of what is already represented in the path. This is done by
using the name of the directory the relevant CMakeLists.txt file is
stored in. To ensure unique project names in the samples (and again, in
the tests folder) folder, small manual adjustments have been done.

VL53L0X: Time Of Flight sensor
##############################

Overview
********
This sample periodically measures distance between vl53l0x sensor
and target. The result is displayed on the console.
It also shows how we can use the vl53l0x as a proximity sensor.


Requirements
************

This sample uses the VL53L0X sensor controlled using the I2C interface.

Building and Running
********************

 This project outputs sensor data to the console. It requires a VL53L0X
 sensor, which is present on the disco_l475_iot1 board.
