Public bug reported:

Code in qtbase effectively says


if (plugin dir is explicitly set)
  use explicitly set directory
else
  look in QT_PLUGIN_PATH then default place


Debian packages explicitly set the plugin directory to be the default.
This doesn't have any benefit, but makes it a lot harder for developers as this env variable no longer works.

Removing -plugindir from the ./configure lines in rules fixes this.

** Affects: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu)
