On Android, there's a limitation set on the names of the libraries
you deploy that they must start with "lib" and end with ".so", so
Android apps will link against and deploy with the unversioned
libQt5FooBar.so libraries. When cross-compiling on Windows however,
due to the lack of symbolic links, the only installed library
used to be the main library target "libQt5FooBar.so.X.Y.Z" (for
version X.Y.Z.) This has been worked around in packaging, but
breaks building add-on modules on top of Qt, and is clearly
wrong.
This patch introduces a new "unversioned_libname" configuration
in qmake which is currently only supported for the Unix makefile
generator and only enabled for Android builds. When it is enabled,
only the unversioned library "libQt5FooBar.so" will be created.
