turn off exceptions by default where they aren't required
This significantly reduces the size of the generated code in places where we don't need exceptions. The -(no-)exceptions configure flag has been removed in the process, as there is now a fine grained way to control this on a per module level, and Qt is being compiled without exceptions in most places.

The new QT_HOST_... properties can be used to refer to the Qt host tools.
* Several functions and built-in variables were modified to return normalized paths.

+ Whether code should be compiled with exception support enabled or disabled can be

- QTextCodecPlugin has been removed since it is no longer used. All text codecs
are now built into QtCore.
