Simplify resource embedding for qml modules

    * Add support for a QT_RESOURCE_PREFIX target property, that
      add_qt_resource respects. This makes it convenient to add files
      to the resource system for a project without the need to repeat
      prefixes. In qmake land with multiple resources they're repeated
      in the foo.prefix variables or in the prefix attribute in .qrc
      files.

    * Since /qt-project.org/imports is in the default QML import search path
       and the hierarchy under the import search paths is "regulated",
       we might as well make add_qml_module set QT_RESOURCE_PREFIX on
       the target. We can compute the correct value for that. This
       allows removing the redundant prefix from the add_qt_resource()
       calls for the qml files.
