Adapt configure.exe to use qmake to do most of the work of configuring
Qt. This unifies a large part of our configuration system between Unix
and Windows. configure.exe is now still doing the license check,
creating qconfig.cpp, building qmake, and not much more.
On the way, re-implement the still missing Windows-specific tests with
the new system.
The opengles2 vs. opengl-desktop conditions got a bit convoluted, as
Unix prefers desktop GL, while Windows GLES2 (via ANGLE). Superficially,
there is a circular dependency, but the platform scopes are supposed to
break it.

specifically, make configure.bat dump the text file (which got some
windows-specific adjustments).
incidentally, this change removes the need for including a pre-built
configure.exe into our source packages.

that is, save it to config.opt and recall it when -redo is used (and do
not write it again in this case).
a trivial config.status is still created, as having it is very
convenient when shadow-building.

it is sometimes desirable to override values from the mkspec without
modifying (or wrapping) the spec itself. linux distributors do this on a
regular basis.
so far, we'd pick up CFLAGS, etc. from the environment, in a somewhat
autoconf-like fashion. however, over time, this approach proved
problematic: the concept doesn't mix particularly well with mkspecs to
start with, is unexpected (and therefore causes frustration), and
doesn't mix well with cross-building (at least the way it was realized).
ironically, it was implemented this way (quite a while ago) upon my
explicit request ...
the new mechanism uses explicit variable manipulations on the configure
command line, just like qmake itself understands. as it happens, this is
again quite similar to autoconf-generated configure scripts. however,
this time around we don't pretend to be actually autoconf-like, so we
also don't try to map any variable names (some of which have different
semantics anyway).
this commit also eliminates the last use of the QMakeVar() function,
so delete it and the underlying infrastructure.

it's really a bit weird that the windows configure has more options to
configure unix features than the unix one, even if some are just
workarounds for missing auto-detection.
unlike in configure.exe itself, -posix-iconv is now also understood for
symmetry with -gnu-iconv and -sun-iconv.

These arguments were nonsensical, as they would lead to every single Qt
module linking to those libraries. This was probably some left-over from
old times, when Qt was just a single library.

Since the system proxies are on by default now then we turn off
libproxy support by default so that there is no risk of a conflict
occurring.
For instance on Linux, it is possible that libproxy indirectly causes
KDE 4 libraries to be loaded which will cause a conflict with the Qt 5
libraries. Therefore we turn it off by default, since the system
proxy setting is the overall better one to have.
[ChangeLog][Important Behavior Changes][QtNetwork] libproxy is now
turned off by default. Configure with -libproxy in order to enable it
again.

By changing the system proxies option default to being on, we
set it to be the more natural default setting. This is down
to the fact that people tend to assume that this is already
the default option.
