Add option for skipping use of private API.

The qsqlodbc and qsqlpsql are known to cause rejections
from the Mac App store due to use of private/deprecated
API.

The plugins are deployed whenever the SQL module is used.
Due to this corse granularity of plugin selection apps
may find themselves rejected for plugins which they
are not actually using.

Make macdeployqt print a warning when sqlodbc or sqlpsql
is deployed. Add "-appstore-compliant" which will
skip deployment of the plugins.
