PATCH 1/1 qt: mark as obsolete

qt 4.x is no longer supported upstream since December 2015:

https://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/05/26/qt-4-8-7-released/

So it shouldn't be used for new projects. Add an obsolete warning to the package prompt to make this clear.

Once we eventually ger tid of it, we will be able to greatly simplify the dependencies that ensure that qt qnd qt5 are mutually exclusive.

In the future... ;-)
