[Development] Removal of dead git submodules from qt5.git

[Chris Adams]

Hi Alex,

Does this have any effect on CI for those submodules?  Jolla uses
QtDocGallery, QtFeedback and QtPIM, and have been upstreaming changes,
and at least for QtPIM the CI has been useful in ensuring that changes
don't cause issues on any platforms etc.
Aside from that, I have no complaints about removing the submodules
from qt5.git.

Best regards,
Chris.

Considering that we never had a use through Qt 5's life time, I think it's time to remove them from the default setup. Note that the git repo's stay around. You just have to manually add them to your checkout
