I'll send patch with PACKAGECONFIG_CONFARGS and wait until it's merged
somewhere, before updating usages of this in other layers (so that I
don't need to redo it again if the name is changed again).

meta-qt5/master isn't using it, it's only in master-next, because
without this change the builds are broken when people use
openembedded-core/meta/conf/distro/include/no-static-libs.inc
e.g. with default Poky config.

Nothing needs to be reverted, because it wasn't merged in any permanent
layer.

If it doesn't go to 2.1 then I'll leave meta-qt5/krogoth version broken
for Poky builds with no-static-libs.inc.
