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.

"shell" refers to the shell invoked by make, which diverges from the

its conventions need to be used for anything the shell itself does
(e.g., assembling env variables, but also command line argument
unquoting) and the commands the mkspec sets according to the shell
(e.g., QMAKE_MOVE).

This patch adds a new config option to qmake to enable full optimization
where it makes sense. This currently is supported on all gcc like
compilers by exchanging -O2 for -O3.
In qtbase it is used to enable full optimizations on qtcore and qtgui
and in a later patch can be used to replace similar existing logic in
QtWebKit's WTF and JavaScriptCore modules.
This fixes a performance regression from gcc 4.7 to 4.8 in the software
renderer.
An aliasing error in qregion.cpp which was exposed by more aggresive
optimization has been solved as well.

We used to compute the default exclusive build directory, eg 'debug', at
configure time, and then set OBJECTS_DIR, MOC_DIR, etc to include this
hard-coded default exclusive build directory. We then had to run a post-
process step where we replaced the 'debug' part with the current actual
exclusive build pass, eg 'release', resulting in long-standing bugs such
as QTBUG-491 where we end up replacing parts of the build output dirs
that were not part of the original exclusive build directory.
We now set the OBJECTS_DIR, MOC_DIR, etc defaults in configure like
before, but they do not include any exclusive-build information. The
exclusive build directory is handled as a separate step in default_post
where we adjust all entries in QMAKE_DIR_REPLACE to be exclusive
directories.
For backwards compatibility the new exclusive build behavior is only
enabled for variables named by QMAKE_DIR_REPLACE_SANE, which for Qt
itself applies globally to everything but DESTDIR, and for libs and
tools also applies to DESTDIR. The reason for leaving out DESTDIR in
the general case is because many tests and examples assume the old
behavior for DESTDIR. A side effect of including all the other
variables for Qt libs and tools is that the PCH output dir will be
uniformly set, which has been an issue on Windows in the past.
The addExclusiveBuilds function now takes two or more arguments,
each argument being the key for an exclusive build, which can be
customized eg. using $$key.{name,target,dir_affix}. Passing more
than two arguments results in three/four/etc-way exclusive builds,
eg debug/release/profile. Exclusive builds can also be combined, eg
static/shared + debug/release by making two calls to the function.
We also handle individual targets of combined exclusive builds,
eg static/shared + debug/release, meaning it is possible to run
'make debug' to build both static-debug and shared-debug.

The new 'prepare_docs' CONFIG option triggers the documentation rules in
default_post to generate two extra targets: prepare_docs and generate_docs.
The prepare_docs stage runs qdoc with the -prepare option, which means qdoc
will only generate index files, and the generate_docs stage will call
qdoc with -generate, which reads the index files and generates the final
output. The regular docs target will then run the prepare_docs target
for all submodules before running the generate_docs target.
This ensures that when generating the final output, qdoc has all the
index files for all the other modules available, to be able to resolve
cross-references between the various Qt modules.
This patch needs a follow-up in qt5.git to add CONFIG+=prepare_docs, so
that the root Qt5 build will be able to hook into this new behavior.

Up until now, we had a mess of different macros used for building
DLLs, for building shared libraries on Unix systems and for building
static libraries. Some of the macros were contradictory and did not
work. From now on, there shall be only:
- QT_STATIC: indicates that it's a static Qt build and the export
macros should expand to empty
- QT_SHARED: indicates that it's a shared / dynamic Qt build and the
export macros should expand to Q_DECL_EXPORT or Q_DECL_IMPORT,
depending on whether the macro corresponds to the current module
being built (the QT_BUILD_XXXX_LIB macro comes from the module's
.pro file)
QT_BOOTSTRAPPED implies QT_STATIC since the bootstrapped tools link
statically to some source code.
QT_STATIC is recorded in qconfig.h by configure when Qt is configured
for static builds. Nothing is recorded for a shared / dynamic build,
so QT_SHARED is implied if nothing is defined. This allows for the
existence of a static_and_shared build: with nothing recorded,
defining QT_STATIC before qglobal.h causes the export macros to be
that of the static form. Linking to the static libraries is out of the
scope of this change (something for the buildsystem and linker to
figure out).
From this commit on, the proper way of declaring the export macros for
a module called QtFoo is:
#ifndef QT_STATIC
# ifdef QT_BUILD_FOO_LIB
# define Q_FOO_EXPORT Q_DECL_EXPORT
# else
# define Q_FOO_EXPORT Q_DECL_IMPORT
# endif
#else
# define Q_FOO_EXPORT
#endif
The type of the Qt build is recorded in QT_CONFIG (in qconfig.pri) so
all Qt modules build by default the same type of library. The keywords
are "static" and "shared", used in both QT_CONFIG and CONFIG. The
previous keyword of "staticlib" is deprecated and should not be used.
