[Qt-creator] Qt Creator 3.4 binaries will be compiled with MSVC 2013 (dynamic opengl)

[Henry Skoglund]

Hi, agreed it's a bit insane to patch the .exe file, but actually I 
think you can have the cake and eat it too (i.e. build without -target 
xp so that windows kit 8 or 10 is still kosher) by instead adding this 
to Qt Creator's .pro file:
QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS = /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01
