build-release: Update creating symlinks for Qt 6

[The-Compiler]

Might be needed for #6771.

qutebrowser/scripts/dev/build_release.py

Lines 229 to 246 in 5153902

	# Replace some duplicate files by symlinks
	framework_path = os.path.join(app_path, 'Contents', 'MacOS', 'PyQt5',
	'Qt5', 'lib', 'QtWebEngineCore.framework')
	core_lib = os.path.join(framework_path, 'Versions', '5', 'QtWebEngineCore')
	os.remove(core_lib)
	core_target = os.path.join(*[os.pardir] * 7, 'MacOS', 'QtWebEngineCore')
	os.symlink(core_target, core_lib)
	framework_resource_path = os.path.join(framework_path, 'Resources')
	for name in os.listdir(framework_resource_path):
	file_path = os.path.join(framework_resource_path, name)
	target = os.path.join(*[os.pardir] * 5, name)
	if os.path.isdir(file_path):
	shutil.rmtree(file_path)
	else:
	os.remove(file_path)
	os.symlink(target, file_path)

Seems to be broken with Qt 6 as well.

• macOS: Symlink duplicated QtWebEngine files instead of copying? pyinstaller/pyinstaller#6896

[The-Compiler]

Hmm, the symlinks appear to be correct. However, the macOS Sandbox does not seem to permit accessing the symlinked files, I think?

[The-Compiler]

Oh, looks like that was a red herring, see #7278.

File sizes:

• Full symlinking: 383 MB
• Partial symlinking (still seems to work fine?): 548 MB
• No symlinking: 590 MB
