Thiago Macieira fe6f4b9ad7 Fix linking of sources without LTCG to a static lib with LTCG
Whenever a binary is created and linked against a static lib that was
compiled with LTCG, the final linking step requires the compiler flags
so that the pre-compiled data in the shared library can get properly
compiled.

This could happen for a static build of Qt with LTCG, but also happens
frequently for Qt's own build when linking regular libraries and
applications against QtBootstrap or QtPlatformSupport. The linking fails
when the target is a shared library (example: QtWaylandClient linking
against QtPlatformSupport).

The .prl file actually contains the "ltcg" flag, so the best solution
would actually be to process that flag there and add link_ltcg if any
dependent .prl has "ltcg", but I couldn't find out how to do that.
