Hi list

I have finished getting rid of Qt4 support in most of LXQt. I took
this occasion to also massively clean up the cmakelists. This all
means that Qt4 support will *no longer be supported* in 0.9.0.

Our official minimum supported version is 5.3, however realistically
I've only seen one instance of it being specifically required over 5.2
(and I have left it ifdef'd for good measure). So I think most things
should still work in Qt 5.2.

libqtxdg is the only one left with Qt4 support in code. Since it is a
very useful library for other projects I suggest keeping it around in
the 1.0.x branch and dropping it from master as we just did in lxqt.

There are a few cleanups remaining:
 - Getting rid of LXQtTranslate.cmake. It's very clunky and doesn't
really work. luis pereira has something in the works.

 - Getting rid of libmagic support in libqtxdg. I don't believe it's
in use in qt5 at all but it's not ifdef'd.
(https://github.com/lxde/libqtxdg/issues/31)
 - Merging the World Clock and Date/Time plugins. These two were
separate because of the ICU dependency which is now in Qt as of 5.2
with QTimeZone (https://github.com/lxde/lxde-qt/issues/312). They
don't make sense to keep separate.
