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.

PCRE1 is going towards EOL. PCRE2 is the way forward in terms
of new features, performance, and security improvements. The
APIs that QRegularExpression uses are similar so the required
modifications aren't extensive.
The biggest difference comes to JIT-compiling of the pattern.
In PCRE1, JIT-compiling did not modify the processed PCRE pattern,
but returned a new chunk of data.
This allowed multiple threads to keep matching using the same
processed data and NULL for the JIT data, until a thread
JIT-compiled and atomically set the shared JIT data to the results
of the compilation.
In PCRE2, JIT-compiling _modifies_ the processed PCRE pattern in a
way that it's thread unsafe [1]; the results of JIT-compilation
are stored somewhere inside the processed pattern.
This means the above approach cannot work -- a thread may be
matching while another one JIT-compiles, causing a data race.
While waiting for better workarounds from upstream, employ a
read/write mutex to protect the matching from JIT-compilation.

[ChangeLog][General] QRegularExpression now requires the PCRE2
library, at least version 10.20. Support for the PCRE1 library
has been dropped. A copy of PCRE2 is shipped with Qt and will
automatically be used on those platforms which lack it.

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.

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.

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.
