* build.sh now handles building qt and qtwebkit.
* preconfig.sh is now only responsible for accumulating arguments
to pass to qt's configure script.
* preconfig.sh doesn't have command line arguments of its own;
anything on its command line will be passed directly to qt's
configure script.
* first pass of adjustments to the qt configure parameters
to try to get a more static build - unfortunately, system
sqlite, libz, libpng, and libexpat are still getting pulled
in somehow (mostly via fontconfig, I think).
Part of issue #12467.
Invoking build.sh with --system-qtwebkit will skip the build of Qt and
QtWebkit and use the qmake in $PATH to build PhantomJS proper.
This doesn't actually *work* at the moment because the bundled
copy of Webkit has patches not yet merged upstream, but it's still
useful to have for testing purposes.
Part of issue #12467.
Currently, the build script will continue to try to build PhantomJS
even when either QtBase or QtWebKit failed to compile. In such a
case, the script should return early and emit an error message.

Although it is mentioned in http://phantomjs.org/build.html, many people
are not aware this, they compile from source (even if a binary package
is available) and get shocked to realize the build takes ages.
The build script is thus modified to give the initial warning.
Unattended build is still possible, just use --confirm flag.

This removes the need to build breakpad as a separate step.
PhantomJS developers will still need to cd src/breakpad && ./configure
&& make in order to analyse crash dumps, but it is not longer necessary
in order to build PhantomJS itself.

Especially on machines that are connected to a compile farm, the
MAKEFLAGS env var is usually set to configure the default number
of jobs that should be used. This way, one can just call the
PhantomJS build script without passing the number of jobs every
time.
