a symbol matches multiple clauses the last one takes precedence. If the
catch-all is last it captures everything. In the case of Qt5 libraries
this caused all symbols to have a Qt_5 label while some should have
Qt_5_PRIVATE_API. This only affects lld because GNU ld always gives the
catch-all lowest priority.
Older versions of Qt5Webengine exported some memory allocation symbols from
the bundled Chromium. Version 5.9 stopped exporting these [1] but the
symbols were kept as weak wrappers for the standard allocation functions to
maintain binary compatibility. [2][3] The problem is that the call to the
standard function in these weak wrappers is only resolved to the standard
function if there's a call to this standard function in other parts of
Qt5Webengine, because only then is there a non-weak symbol that takes
precedence over the weak one. If there's no such non-weak symbol the call
in the weak wrapper resolves to the weak wrapper itself creating an infinite
call loop that overflows the stack and causes a crash. Some of the
allocation functions are variants of C++ new and delete and it probably
depends on the compiler whether these variants are used in other parts of
Qt5Webengine.
Remove the weak wrappers (make them Linux specific). This isn't binary
compatible but we are already breaking that with the changes to the symbol
versions.

* PyQt could not be installed for multiple Python versions at
the same time, as there were conflicting files.
This patch creates Python-version versioned directories for
all these, and further installs binaries with a version number.
* Note, there might be some hickups for software that depends on
on of the .so's provided by PyQt5, which might not be found
anymore autmotically, and maybe need some LD-flaggery.
* Update PyQt5 to 5.10.1
* Mark www/py-qt5-webengine broken. It is unforuntately no longer
compatible with the old qt5-webengine-5.9.4 we ship.
