Revert some changes in light of GCC 4 -fPIE reversal

The -fPIE option is now accepted when using GCC 4, which means it
is available for backward compatibility for clients using
CMake 2.8.11 or older which makes use of the
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE feature.

Conditionally use that feature for old versions of cmake with
GCC 4. Restore the tests for those versions, and clarify the
situation in the ChangeLog.

- On x86 and x86-64 systems with ELF binaries (especially Linux), due to
a new optimization in GCC 5.x in combination with a recent version of
GNU binutils, compiling Qt applications with -fPIE is no longer
enough. Applications now need to be compiled with the -fPIC option if
Qt's option "reduce relocations" is active. Note that Clang is known
to generate incompatible code even with -fPIC if the -flto option is
active.
enough with GCC 5.x. Applications now need to be compiled with
the -fPIC option if Qt's option "reduce relocations" is active. For
backward compatibility only, Qt accepts the use of -fPIE for GCC 4.x
versions.
Note that Clang is known to generate incompatible code even with -fPIC if
the -flto option is active.
Applications using qmake or cmake >= 2.8.12 as their build system will
adapt automatically. Applications using an older release of cmake need to
change their CMakeLists.txt to add Qt5Core_EXECUTABLE_COMPILE_FLAGS to
CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.
adapt automatically. Applications using an older release of cmake in
combination with GCC 5.x need to change their CMakeLists.txt to add
Qt5Core_EXECUTABLE_COMPILE_FLAGS to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS. In particular,
applications using cmake >= 2.8.9 and < 2.8.11 will continue to build
with the -fPIE option and invoke the special compatibility mode if using
GCC 4.x.
