[Development] Qftp removal

[shane.kearns at accenture.com]

I'd think one project could handle all the removed features we want to support as static libraries
e.g.
qftp
qhttp
qsettings

"qt4support" isn't a terrible name, unless it has too bad connotations.
"qt4removedapis" is clear as well

I'll take care of moving QHttp and QFtp.
In general, the person removing an API from Qt should add it here for future removals. (assuming it's feasible and desirable to provide the API standalone)
