Don't check the Qt version across modules in -developer-build

Instead of enforcing the check, we'll simply trust developers to do the
right thing. For one, it's useful to mix libraries during testing
(regression testing, git bisects, etc.). For another, Qt developers are
faced day-to-day with binary incompatibility issues anyway, so this
check is mostly superfluous.

If there's one commit we could be sure that isn't breaking binary
compatibility, that's the "Bump Qt version" commit. And yet that's the
one that would cause the fatal to trip...
