Oswald Buddenhagen cbbeed519b remove magic patching up of libraries specified by file name
the assumption is that if somebody bothers to actually specify a file
name, they'll most probably go all the way to specify the *correct* file
name. otherwise, they'll use -L/-l flags to specify the libs in a
cross-platform way and rely on qmake's magic.

this code was initially added for the purpose of invoking
findHighestVersion() under windows. this has been off by default for a
while now.

at some point, the code did also swap qt for qt-mt and vice versa if the
specified one was missing. this is obviously gone for a while as well.

the unix code was pretty much broken since day one: there was a regex
match on lib<stub>.* against <stub> itself, which obviously could not
have ever succeeded. consequently, the subsequent code ran into a path
that tried the file name with a trailing dot (instead of a new
extension), which never produced anything meaningful.

[ChangeLog][qmake][Important Behavior Changes] The library lookup has
been simplified. It may be necessary to be more explicit in some edge
cases now.
