[Development] Backporting the "stop unloading plugins" change to 5.6

[Liang Jian]

    It is a pity that qt develpers have made the dicision of not unloading
plugins and I have to accept the reality.
    But I think we should at least  introduce a method to disable this
feature at runtime (such as through a enviroment variable) ?
