Teach configure to execute $$system() when parsing qmake.conf

This allows for example the iOS mkspecs to use xcode-select to get the
path to Xcode's /Developer directory, which is then in turn used to
set up QMAKE_CXX (which is needed by configure).

Coprocess is GNU awk specific, so we're just using getline.
