a) revert the 5.6 backport of 88a8feeacb9bdaff9ee06164424e407eb904cd10 so
that 5.6.x will forever calculate Keccak, not SHA3;

b) additionally backport 12c5264d9add1826d543c36d893db77262195fc6 to both
5.6 and 5.9, with the proper binary compatibility notices, so that people
who need to can adapt their code to calculate Keccak. It won't be pretty,
but it will work.

I'm actually leaning towards  for 5.6 and (b) for 5.9.

Fully agree. That's IMO the best solution.

5.6 reversal: https://codereview.qt-project.org/204143. Needs to be +2'ed and
included in the 5.6.3 release.

5.9 backport: https://codereview.qt-project.org/204144

Thanks. Reviewed and approved both.

Lars
