Prebuilt Qt and Packaging not working as expected

[simonsan]

I'm trying out packaging for Windows x64 with appveyor and used the pre-installed Qt 5.13.0. The installer is working, but the Qt5{Quick, Gui, Network, ... } files are missing. I'm trying it now with the vcpkg approach, but would be nice (regardless of possible caching) to use the pre-built Qt. I attached a logfile of the whole process. We should check, if the way we use the script for deployment of Qt is still working as expected.

log_prebuilt.txt

Edit: I just remembered, that we changed something in June and we need to set

# Use windeploy for packaging qt-prebuilt, standard value '0' for applocal vcpkg
set(use_windeployqt 1)

I'll try to built it with this setting and figure out if it's working. I will add something about the whole process to the docs.

Yeah, seems like that was the basic stuff, but also windeployqt copies the files into the python-dir instead of splitting them into <bin-dir>/qml and <bin-dir>/plugins as we set it up in qt.conf for applocal.ps1. I'm working on changing the behaviour of the windeployqt-branch into the same of applocal.ps1 to make both deployment methods more coherent. I will probably also add some further information to the docs and publish the appveyor.yml for further use until we have kevin setup for win-builds.
