Add a Mach-O decoder to the QPluginLoader

We already had an ELF decoder, which helped us greatly to find the
metadata and that catches most Unix systems (Solaris, QNX, HP-UXi, and
all of the free Unixes). On other Unix systems, aside from Mac OS X,
we simply scanned the entire file for the signature. On Windows, even
without a COFF-PE decoder, we use a LoadLibrary trick to load the
plugin without loading the dependent libraries. In most cases, that
works.

Unfortunately, on Mac OS X we didn't have a decoder and nor could we
do the file scan: because Mac OS X binaries could be fat binaries, we
wouldn't know which architecture's signature we had found.

No more. This adds a full Mach-O decoder to QtCore. It is also capable
of finding the boundaries of the architecture's binary, but that
functionality is disabled since all Qt 5 plugins have plugin metadata
sections.
