[Development] Giving the split source packages the visibility they're due

To web@:

The download page does not list at all the split packages, even though they're 
the official way of building Qt from sources. I'd like to request that the 
webpage be modified to list the split sources first and foremost.

Linking to the grouped sources should come after a notice saying "as a 
convenience for downloading and for building the full Qt release, the source 
packages are grouped in the following packages".

To dev@:

Please remember that everything in the qtsdk.git and qt5.git modules is 
optional and, therefore, nothing more than a convenience. Everything in our 
releases must work without them and be documented as if they did not exist.
