... by implementing a fake ln in qmake.
symlinks are supported only since vista (we officially still support
xp), and even there are permission-restricted (MS being (rightfully)
afraid of symlink attacks). so we fake the links by copying the files
instead.
the previous hack was a bit naive, simply using cp/copy instead of ln.
this didn't work with relative paths, as real symlinks are resolved
against their parent directory, not the working directory of the "ln"
command. the new fake does this correctly.

it makes no sense to let every spec do that separately, as it's fixed
by the generator+shell.
putting it into a file which is loaded regardless of the spec also
allows us to remove the hardcoded fallbacks from qmake.
if somebody overrode the values in their spec for some weird reasons,
they'll need to override spec_post.prf.
shell-{unix,win32}.conf are now dummies and print warnings.

on the way to eliminate scoping based on the spec.
gcc and msvc go as such into CONFIG, the other ones get the vendor
prefixed, as most are mostly unknown and thus likely to clash with
users' flags.

the project evaluator becomes oblivious of the target mode.
the mode is set up in spec_post.prf according to the spec.
$$QMAKE_TARGET contains the feature suffixes to search, and is also
contained in $$CONFIG.
the target_mode variable itself becomes private to the Makefile class.
