[Development] Android missing SONAME in lib's causes

Hello,

If you are going to roll it back https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,61330
a few things will stop to work immediately:
 - android qt creator plugin.
 - no qt apps will be movable to sdcard (most of the sdcards are fat formated, and it can not have symlinks).
 - Ministro needs lots of changes to support symlinks, this is the reason why I choose not to use SONAME.

There are two ways to have a Qt application on Android, one is to use Ministro to get the libs, and the second one is to bundle Qt libs into the APK. For none of them you don't need to use SONAME.
Personally, I see no reason why should SONAME be used for Android ...

Thanks,
BogDan.

P.S. Sorry for slow reply, I didn't see the message until now.
