[Development] Deprecating BlackBerry Playbook support

[Rafael Roquetto]

Done on:
    https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/105971/
    https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/105992/
    https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/105994/

@Ossi, since downmerge happens on Monday, is it safe to assume this will land
on 5.5?

Thanks,
Rafael
