build: Add ability to bypass pkg-config for Qt #17840

Description

Besides Windows platform, pkg-config works well for both system Qt and Qt in depends.

But there are some pitfalls when using different Qt versions that are downloaded with Qt Online Installer, e.g.:

Currently, there is no way to bypass pkg-config workflow for downloaded Qt (on non-Windows platforms). I have to use a patch to bypass pkg-config on testing purpose.

It seems to be useful for developers and testers to have an additional configure option, say --with-qt-dir, which forces to bypass pkg-config workflow.

For example:

./configure --with-gui=qt5 --with-qt-dir=/home/hebasto/Qt/5.14.0/gcc_64
