Bradley T. Hughes 7493ee1c44 Remove the build-key from the plugin verification data
The build-key is an old mechanism to work around binary
incompatibilities in GCC 3.x versions. Modern GCC has not broken binary
compatibility since 3.4, making this mechanism obsolete.

The cache value stored now only includes Qt version, the debug/release
boolean, and the last modified time for the plugin. Old 4-value keys
will be replaced with new keys as the plugins are reloaded the first
time.

This also removes QLibraryInfo::buildKey(), which is a source-incompatible
change.

The UNIX and Windows configure tools have been updated to stop
outputting the QT_BUILD_KEY preprocessor directive.

****************************************************************************
* Source incompatible changes *
****************************************************************************
- QSslCertificate::subjectInfo() and QSslCertificate::issuerInfo() now
return a QStringList instead of a QString
- Unite clipping support has been removed from QPainter. The alternative is
to unite QRegion's and using the result on QPainter.
- QLibrary::resolve() now returns a function pointer instead of a void
pointer.
- QSslCertificate::alternateSubjectNames() is deprecated (but can be enabled
via QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE), use
QSslCertificate::subjectAlternativeNames() instead.
- QLibraryInfo::buildKey() has been removed. Likewise, the QT_BUILD_KEY
preprocessor #define has also been removed. The build-key is obsolete
and is no longer necessary.
