add -skip option to the configures

this makes it possible to exclude modules from the build without moving
their sources out of the way. substitutes the much-requested -no-webkit.

not adding a symmetrical option, as it is relatively pointless:
to build only specific "leaf" modules, you only need to run
"make module-qt<module> ..." once you configured. and removing
particular "intermediate" modules is achieved with this very option.
