Tor Arne Vestbø 5c8aa27111 iOS: Remove need for separate qtiosmain library
We can combine the hybrid and non-hybrid use-cases into a single static
library if we are careful about which symbols are included in which
object files. By limiting the main() and qt_user_main() functions to
their own translation units, the linker will only pick them up if they
are missing at link time (the user's program do not provide them).

This technique is resilient to the -ObjC linker flag, which includes all
object files that implement an ObjectiveC class or category, but will
fail if the -all_load flag is passed to the linker, as we'll then have
duplicate symbols for either main() or qt_user_main(). The latter should
not happen unless the user provides the flag manually, and in the case
he or she does, there's ways to work around it by providing less global
flags such as -ObjC or -force_load.
