Introduce a new -no-prefix option that can be used to build Qt without
having to install it.
Currently, -no-prefix is already implied by -developer-build, but
-developer-build also implies -warnings-are-errors and
-feature-private-tests, which not everyone might want to use.
Some Qt builders likely use -developer-build for the no-prefix
behavior, hence we introduce a standalone -no-prefix option to offer
a nicer user experience without -Werror and friends.
Previously it was possible to achieve the same by specifying
-prefix $PWD, but that relies on $PWD expanding property in the used
shell.
The new -no-prefix doesn't depend on the type of the shell and
is shorter to type.
Internally this gets passed by configure as -DINPUT_no_prefix=yes to
CMake, and transformed into a -DQT_FEATURE_no_prefix=ON feature.
The feature also gets automatically auto-detected to ON if
developer-build is set, -prefix is either unset or $PWD.
CMake code should still query QT_WILL_INSTALL to decide whether
files need to be installed or not.
As a drive-by, we now also export QT_FEATURE_developer_build to
be available for querying during configuration of other repos
(previously it was only possible to query FEATURE_developer_build).

The option is used to specify a list of Qt repos (git submodules)
that should be included in the configuration of a top-level Qt build.
The option takes a comma-separated list of qt submodule names e.g.
'qtbase,qtsvg,qtdeclarative'
It can also take a single value like 'qtbase' or 'qtquick3d'.
Each specified submodule and all of its transitive dependencies will
be included when configuring the top-level Qt build (assuming that the
submodules have previously been already checked out).
Any missing submodules or dependencies will not be automatically
checked out, but rather skipped. This can result in a failed
configuration if a required submodule is missing.
If some optional transitive submodule dependency is not desired in the
build, you can combine the -submodules option together with -skip
options.
E.g. configuring with
-submodules qtdoc,qtnetworkauth -skip qtmultimedia,qtimageformats
will result in a top-level build with the following submodules:
- qtbase (common dependency)
- qttools (dependency of qtdoc)
- qtactiveqt dependency of qttools)
- qshadertools (dependency of qtdeclarative)
- qtdeclarative (explicit)
- qtnetworkauth (explicit)
