CMake: Fix qconfig.cpp embedded prefix in the CI

In the CI on a windows we configure Qt with the following prefix
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=\Users\qt\work\install

Note the lack of the drive letter.
This is intentional, so that we can abuse CMake's DESTDIR installation
mechanism to install into a custom path.

This causes trouble for static Qt builds in the CI.

Specifically when there is no qt.conf file next to qmake, qmake -query
will report a
  QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/Users/qt/work/install
and ultimately qmake will fail to locate the module .pri files in such
a path, showing errors like:
  Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: core gui?

If a qt.conf is placed next to qmake (even an empty one), a differenct
code path is used in qmake to resolve the prefix, which returns a path
with a drive letter.

In a shared build, because the 'relocatable' feature is enabled by
default, a different code path is used and thus the prefix is
also successfully resolved.

So the problem is specific to static Windows Qt builds that have no
qt.conf file next to qmake.

This is the exact scenario that we encounter when running static
Qt tests (tst_qmake in particular).

To circumvent the issue, prepend a drive letter to the prefix
hardcoded into qconfig.cpp. Do that with
get_filename_component(REALPATH) which apparently resolves
to a fully qualified path.
