[Development] qt and printing

[lars.knoll at nokia.com]

Currently we continue to have the Qt 4 printing subsystem in Qt5 (as
libQtPrintSupport), but the longer term plan is to replace this with a new
module, as some of the basic architecture of the old printing module is
not fixable.

For 5.0 however we continue with what we have.

Cheers,
Lars
