This is currently only used for webengine, where link time really matters.
New configure options:
* force 'lld' '-linker lld' or' --linker=lld'
* force 'gold' '-linker gold' or '--linker=gold'
* force 'bfd' '-linker bfd' or '--linker=bfd'
Note before by default gold was always forced (if supported) now default linker
is system default one.
[ChangeLog][Tools][configure & build system] Added --linker=[bfg,lld,gold] configure flag.

If the linker supports it, add the gdb index to the debug symbols, which
makes loading gdb on Qt libraries much faster.

This linker script is only enabled for systems with GCC or GCC-like
compilers, though technically it should work on the BSDs too (will
enable after testing). For regular modules, this declares one ELF
version "Qt_5" and places all QtCore symbols inside, then it declares
unused ELF versions "Qt_5.x" for each older minor release. For modules
declared "internal_module", all symbols are placed in version
Qt_5_PRIVATE_API.
The big advantage of an ELF version is that, when we do Qt 6, both
versions of QtCore could be loaded in memory without conflicts and all
symbols would be resolved to the correct library. No module can talk to
both at the same time, but this avoids mistakes of loading them
indirectly by plugins.
The extra Qt_5.x versions will be used in the next commit.

this allows LD_LIBRARY_PATH to take precedence over the hard-coded
rpath, which is the only sane thing to do (which is also why i'm not
adding an option to disable it).
this behavior is consistent with non-linux systems.
the windows version has no auto-detection, just like for gold linker
usage.

This patch adds the feature use_gold_linker to use the gold linker that
has been part of of GNU binutils since 2008. Gold links C++ libraries
much faster and use less memory.
The feature is autodetected when building Qt on Linux, but can be disabled
in configure. On MingW builds it is default off but can be enabled for
cross builds.

Replace all tabs with proper space characters and consistently align
the '=' characters. The default alignment for the '=' of 25 characters
has been left as is to get a minimal diff. Lines with the '=' further
to the right and those belonging to 'proper code (TM)' have not been
touched.
The work was mostly done using the following python script (might
come in handy again...):
import sys, re
indent_eq = 25 + 0*4 # 25 characters was the most widely used indentation for the '=' character
p = re.compile(r'(\w+)[ \t]*([\-\+]?)(=$|= )[ \t]*(.*$)')
for fn in sys.argv[1:]:
with open(fn, 'r+') as f:
lines = []
nl_count = 0
continuity_indent = None
for l in f:
m = p.match(l)
nl = l
if m:
n_spaces = max(m.start(3), indent_eq - 1) - len(m.group(2)) - len(m.group(1))
if m.group(2) and m.start(2) >= indent_eq-1 and m.start(2) % 4 == 0:
n_spaces -= 1 # left-shift '+=' by one if the '+' is aligned to a multiple of 4
n_spaces = max(1, n_spaces) # we want at least one space before '='/'+='
nl = m.group(1) + ' '*n_spaces + ''.join(m.group(2,3,4)) + '\n'
continuity_indent = nl.find('= ') + 2 if l[-2] == '\\' else None # remember indent on '\\$'
elif continuity_indent:
nl = ' '*continuity_indent + l.lstrip()
if l[-2] != '\\': # check when to stop the continuation
continuity_indent = None
elif l.startswith('#'):
nl = l.expandtabs(2)
if l != nl:
nl_count += 1
lines.append(nl)
if nl_count > 0:
print fn, nl_count, len(lines)
