M. Moellney fa1b2dc4a0 Fix qmake generating bizarre msvc /VERSION values
The msvc_nmake and msvc_vcproj generators deduced the exe/dll header
version number from the VERSION variable in a "bizarre" way:
VERSION=1.2.3.4567 was converted to /VERSION:1.234567.
But a minor number beyond 65535 is not accepted by the linker.
This fix deduces the major and minor from the major and minor of
VERSION: VERSION=1.2.3.4567 leads to /VERSION:1.2.

In addition, a new variable is introduced: VERSION_PE_HEADER.
With this variable, legacy pro files that rely on the bizarre
behavior can re-create it:
VERSION=1.2.3.45 and VERSION_PE_HEADER=1.2345 lead to the old
result: /VERSION:1.2345 by just taking the VERSION_PE_HEADER to
overrule the new behavior.
