x11-themes/qtcurve 1.8.18 update and overhaul

QtCurve ports have not been updated in a few years. In that time, upstream has
changed maintainers and hosting. The sources for the GTK and Qt ports were
unified and support for Qt5 was added in the last release, which was made more
than a year ago.

The ports have been overhauled to accommodate the upstream changes. There is
now a qtcurve-utils port which builds a shared library and translations. All
other ports (-gtk2, -kde4, -qt4, -qt5) are slaves of the -utils port. The
-utils port is a common dependency and all others can be installed
independently of each other. All ports can be built and installed together
without conflicts.

The further separation brings us to 5 ports. I would have liked to unify
everything into a single port with options for each toolkit, but use of Qt4 and
Qt5 in a single ports causes conflicts, and that single port would've had quite
a few dependencies with all options enabled. Although the separate ports add a
bit of build overhead (no more than before), they are more convenient for pkg
users.
