1569c6d85e Restore top-level build with a separate function
We have other helper functions like this, and the way they are made
to work is to pass the script's arguments down to them.

3ecfeb3629 Fix top-level builds with qmake
The separation of functionality into functions in commit
37756ede09 accidentally broke top-level
builds as the function to detect -top-level was operating on local
parameters (shift) or they were not available ($1). Inlining these few
lines fixes it.

ab44ac021d Clean up mkspecs from old, unsupported and untested mkspecs
They have not been tested with Qt 5, not even once to make sure
that the mkspec passes the sanity check.

This removes for OSes:
  HP-UX (running on PA-RISC -- Itanium still supported)
  SGI IRIX
  SCO Unix
  Tru64 Unix
  Unixware

And compilers:
  IBM xlC (Visual Age C++)
  HP aCC compiler (PA-RISC and Itanium)
  PGCC, cxx and kcc on Linux

There were a couple more OSes detected in the configure script that were
lacking even the mkspec. Those have also been removed.

Of those, only hpuxi-acc and aix-xlc have been tested in the last 9
years, though only with Qt 4 and never tried with C++11 support. IRIX
was last tested over 10 years ago and PA-RISC is definitely not
supported due to its lack of atomic operations.

Support for HP-UXi and AIX is now only possible with GCC (assuming GCC
supports those). Support files for Oracle's Sun Studio compiler are left
behind, but its state is unknown.

cfba3fff05 move emission of final messages to qmake-based configure
now qmake is the last command called by the unix configure script.
as it happens, this was already the case in the windows script, but only
because it didn't print these messages at all, which it implicitly does
now.

another effect of this is that repositories outside qtbase will now also
get the installation note in modular builds, which makes sense.

we pull this feat off by booting configure with a dummy spec. the proper
spec gets loaded subsequently.

note that it was necessary to move the cache loading after processing
the early checks (from which the spec handling is triggered). this is
just fine, as the cache is needed only by tests, which are forbidden at
this stage by definition.

169a40d511 move generation of qconfig.cpp (and qt.conf) to qmake-based configure
this moves us another step towards the "outer" configure doing just
minimal bootstrapping of qmake.

a challenge here was that so far, qmake itself needed qconfig.cpp. this
was replaced by usage of a qt.conf file instead of compiled-in values.
however, to make the executable still self-contained, that qt.conf is
embedded into it (by simple appending of a fixed signature and the text
file).

the qmake with the embedded qt.conf is not used for the qt build itself,
which instead relies on the qt.conf in bin/ as before. however, due to
the missing built-in values, this file now needs to contain more
information than before. but except for a minimal version that is needed
to start up qmake/configure at all, that file is now also generated with
qmake. as some of the newly set up properties are subsequently used by
configure itself, qmake gains a (deliberately undocumented) function to
reload the qt.conf after it's fully populated.

unlike the old implementations, this one doesn't emit redundant qt.conf
entries which match the hard-coded fallbacks. omitting them leads to
leaner files which are more comprehensible.

42196f4061 nuke configure -host-option
in its current form, it was introduced only in 5.7, mostly as a side
effect of -external-hostbindir (which is now handled differently).
it only ever worked for the macOS and MinGW specs, as a side effect of
them supporting -sdk and -device-option (for good reasons), and was
supported only by the unix configure. it's not believed to be really
useful and complicates matters somewhat, so get rid of it again.

should it ever become actually relevant, it can be re-introduced
properly, probably along with a -host-sdk option for macOS.

60e5a1c8ef Modularize the new configure system (infrastructure part)
This change implements the required infrastructure to modularize the new
configuration system.

This requires a hierarchy of configuration files, both for handling
multiple repositories and for individual modules inside the same
repository.

When configuring, they all need to get loaded first, as command line
processing needs to know about all possible command line options.

When the command line has been processed, the individual configuration
files need to get processed one after the other and independently from
each other.

Configure is now automatically invoked when building the a project
tree's "root" project; this works with both modular and top-level builds
of Qt (the latter with an according change in the super repo). As an
immediate consequence, the -skip option moves to the super repo with a
different implementation, as configuration is now done after the repo
list is determined. The option belongs there anyway.

This commit also adds an optional testDir entry to the json file. Like
this, we can still have all configure tests in qtbase/config.tests and
the configuration file in, e.g., corelib can reference those.

The files section can now be left out as long as a 'module' entry is
present, specifying the module name. The names of the files to generate
can then be deduced from that name. We still need to be able to specify
names directly for the global configuration files.

qtConfig() now also queries features which are module-specific. As it is
sometimes necessary to query the configuration of modules which should
not be actually linked (and cannot in the case of subdirs projects), the
new variable QT_FOR_CONFIG which allows specifying configuration-only
dependencies is introduced.

882f344964 Pass no-pkg-config to qmake from config.test if appropriate
On macOS, even if pkg-config is present in the path, configure will by
default correctly ignore it and set no-pkg-config. However, this was not
propagated to qmake when invoked from config.test, so tests which rely on
that did not work.

This was leading to pkg-config (installed from homebrew) to be used in
the libpng test, so it succeeded. But the later Qt build would fail to
find png.h from homebrew, as it correctly ignores pkg-config.

d76a756b03 clean up qconfig/qmodule.pri handling in configure
instead of saving the files away and restoring them afterwards, use the
new and shiny discard_from() function to throw away everything the files
might contain.

strictly speaking, this is not precise, as the pris may also use *=, -=,
and possibly other operations which cannot be trivially undone, but the
purpose is essentially to discard the special outputs of some features
which may affect subsequent tests, for which this is sufficient.

as a side effect, the failure to load qmodule.pri is not fatal any more
(like for qconfig.pri), to save the pointless effort of ensuring that it
exists.

a9474d1260 configure: Correctly detect clang's version on FreeBSD
"clang -v" on FreeBSD reports something like "FreeBSD clang version
x.y.z [...]" instead of just "clang version x.y.z [...]", which fails to
match the sed pattern in the configure script, resulting in qconfig.pri
having no clang version defined.

Augment the pattern so that both version strings match.

672c0b3721 unify configure command line saving with configure.exe
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.

fd3e12e7a6 replace mechanism to override variables from the mkspecs
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.

f6fc34294f Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/5.7' into dev
Conflicts:
	configure
5.7 now supports clang on android; but dev re-worked configure

	src/gui/kernel/qevent.h
One side renamed a parameter of a constructor; the other added an
alternate constructor on the next line.  Applied the rename to both
for consistency.

	tests/auto/tools/moc/tst_moc.cpp
Each side added a new test at the end.

	.qmake.conf
Ignored 5.7's change to MODULE_VERSION.

	configure.json
No conflict noticed by git; but changes in 5.7 were needed for the
re-worked configure to accommodate 5.7's stricter handling of C++11.
