Strip bootstrapped binaries of unused sections

This matches the -ffunction-sections from bootstrap.pro, which tells the
compiler to create a section for each function. The -gc-sections option
tells the linker to drop what wasn't used (normally, it only drops
entire files).

Before (on Linux, built with -O3, no LTO):
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1746385    7920    3750 1758055  1ad367 bin/moc
1444101    6664    1894 1452659  162a73 bin/rcc
4407725    1568    4896 4414189  435aed bin/qmake

After:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1131655    6520    3494 1141669  116ba5 bin/moc
1027043    5480    1766 1034289   fc831 bin/rcc
3578489    1656    5313 3585458  36b5b2 bin/qmake

Gain: 35% on moc, 28% on rcc, 19% on qmake

Before (on OS X):
