TextEditor: Allow using KSyntaxHighlighting from system
Set KSYNTAXHIGHLIGHTING_LIB_DIR to the directory that contains the KSyntaxHighlighting library file (e.g. libKF5SyntaxHighlighting.{dll,dylib,so}). This will use the respective files from there and its related include files instead of the files provided by QC. If deducing the include directory depending on the library does not work you can additionally specify KSYNTAXHIGHLIGHTING_INCLUDE_DIR as well. Both variables can be set either as qmake variable or environment variable.
