Motivation for this change

qtwebengine currently appears to build successfully on darwin, but in reality it fails to configure. The problem is not darwin-specific though.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS build fails as expected
    • other Linux distributions, tested qt511.qtwebengine qt512.qtwebengine qt59.qtwebengine build fine
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

QtWebEngine's build system is setup to perform certain platform checks
(see mkspecs/features/platform.prf). But a failed check will not cause
configuration phase to fail, but instead it configures no build targets.
So in such case the build will successfully perform build and install
phases. An empty output directories will are produced and the build
succeeds.

This patches qtwebengine qmake files to properly fail during
configuration phase.

This doesn't touch qt56 as it doesn't have this mechanism.
