From: Jesse Van Gavere <jesseevg@gmail.com>

The qmake functionality had been missing due to the new host/target
build requirement, to get it working the main parts of the qt5 qmake
has been kept, we're still making our own device spec which we use to
run qmake with along with passing some additional device options for our
flags/cross-compiler.

A big thanks to Angelo Compagnucci for the encouragement and testing.

[dario: fix HostData and add the target install dirs in qt.conf.in,
quote QT_QMAKE_DEVICE_OPTIONS, use TARGET_CFLAGS/TARGET_CXXFLAGS,
change the commit message]
