[OE-core] qt4 moves out of oe-core - to meta-qt4, or to meta-oe?

If increasing bloat is a problem, why do recipes in meta-oe need to be
maintained indefinitely? Old cruft can be dropped from meta-oe, just as it
is dropped from oe-core. Just ask the public if it's ok, set a timeframe,
and do it.

qt-mobility in particular has been dead for several years, and doesn't
even have official upstream tarballs anymore. Why spend time fixing it?
