[ChangeLog][QtCore] Qt installations on the host system can now be
relocated, i.e. moved to other directories.
Add a new feature 'relocatable' that's by default enabled for
non-static builds
- on platforms where libdl is available,
- on macOS when configured with -framework,
- on Windows.
If the feature is enabled, the directory where plugins, translations
and other assets are loaded from is determined by the location of
libQt5Core.so and the lib dir (bin dir on Windows) relative to the
prefix.
For static builds, the feature 'relocatable' is off by default. It can
be turned on manually by passing -feature-relocatable to configure. In
that case, QLibraryInfo::location(QLibraryInfo::TranslationsPaths) and
friends will return paths rooted in the user application's directory.
The installed and relocated qmake determines properties like
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX and QT_HOST_PREFIX from the location of the qmake
executable and the host bin dir relative to the host prefix. This is
now always done, independent of the 'relocatable' feature.
Note that qmake is currently only relocatable within an environment
that has the same layout as the original build machine due to absolute
paths to the original prefix in .prl, .pc and .la files.
This will be addressed in a separate patch.

The description of the project mode looked like this:
-project Put qmake into project file generation mode
In this mode qmake interprets files as files to
be built,
defaults to *; *; *; *.ts; *.xlf; *.qrc
The list of wildcards is incomplete. Unfortunately the file extensions
are defined in QMAKE_EXT_* variables in mkspecs, and the help display
code has no access to that data. This went unnoticed for quite some
time, and fixing this is too involved considering the gain.
Replace the text above with the static text below:
-project Put qmake into project file generation mode
In this mode qmake interprets [files] as files to
be added to the .pro file. By default, all files with
known source extensions are added.

absolute; on MS-Win, such paths need a drive specifier (unless they're
UNC), so use IoUtils's more robust test for absolute paths.

When having Qt sources in a symbolic link "shadowed" did not work
because _PRO_FILE_PWD_ used canonical path, while source_root did not.
Due to this mix it was possible that shadowedPath did not find any
"common denominator" and always returned and empty string. The first
place where things broke was while running config.tests.

the arguments after '--' are by definition meant only for the top-level
project, as that's where configure is invoked from. passing them to
sub-projects just adds noise to the make output and misleads users.
note that this specifically does not support qmake -r, which will break
if the subprojects rely on the arguments being absent. this isn't a
problem, because the qt build doesn't support qmake -r anyway.

turns out that just appending builtin-qt.conf isn't a good idea:
executable-editing tools (objcopy, prelink, etc.) will happily drop the
"attachment".
a safe method would be adding a proper section to the executable, but
there doesn't appear to be an objcopy equivalent in msvc, and using
entirely different methods of embedding the file with different
toolchains seems like a rather bad idea.
so instead go back to the old method of building qmake with a generated
qconfig.cpp. of course, as said file is now created by qmake itself, we
have to compile qlibraryinfo.cpp a second time, and link a second qmake
executable.

this moves us another step towards the "outer" configure doing just
minimal bootstrapping of qmake.
a challenge here was that so far, qmake itself needed qconfig.cpp. this
was replaced by usage of a qt.conf file instead of compiled-in values.
however, to make the executable still self-contained, that qt.conf is
embedded into it (by simple appending of a fixed signature and the text
file).
the qmake with the embedded qt.conf is not used for the qt build itself,
which instead relies on the qt.conf in bin/ as before. however, due to
the missing built-in values, this file now needs to contain more
information than before. but except for a minimal version that is needed
to start up qmake/configure at all, that file is now also generated with
qmake. as some of the newly set up properties are subsequently used by
configure itself, qmake gains a (deliberately undocumented) function to
reload the qt.conf after it's fully populated.
unlike the old implementations, this one doesn't emit redundant qt.conf
entries which match the hard-coded fallbacks. omitting them leads to
leaner files which are more comprehensible.

Instead of lumping both Objective-C (.m) and Objective-C++ (.mm) sources
into the same pile, passing them on to the same compiler as for C++ (CXX),
with the C++ flags (CXXFLAGS), we follow Apple's lead and treat them as
variants of the C and C++ languages separately, so that Objective-C
sources are built with CC and with CFLAGS, and Objective-C++ sources
with CXX, and CXXFLAGS.
This lets us remove a lot of duplicated flags and definitions from the
QMAKE_OBJECTIVE_CFLAGS variable, which in 99% of the cases just matched
the C++ equivalent. The remaining Objective-C/C++ flags are added to
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, as the compiler will just ignore them when running in
C/C++ mode. This matches Xcode, which also doesn't have a separate build
setting for Objective-C/C++ flags.
The Makefile qmake generator has been rewritten to support Objective-C/C++
fully, by not assuming that we're just iterating over the C and C++
extensions when dealing with compilation rules, precompiled headers, etc.
There's some duplicated logic in this code, as inherent by qmake's already
duplicated code paths, but this can be cleaned up when C++11 support is
mandatory and we can use lambda functions.

this is a monster commit which does the following things:
- import the evaluator as-is from qt creator into qmake/library/
- integrate it into qmake's makefiles
- overwrite proitems.h with actual special types
- remove the parts of Option which are redundant with QMakeGlobals
- make QMakeProperty a singleton owned by Option::globals. the dynamic
handling so far made no sense.
- make QMakeProject a subclass of QMakeEvaluator, with relatively few
extensions
the changes to existing qmake code outside project.* and option.* are
minor. implementing the changes gradually would mean changing a lot of
code which will be just replaced in the next commit, so i'm not wasting
my time on it.
