Allow pkg_prerules and pkg_postrules to be targeted to separate files
Pkg_prerules and pkg_postrules can now be targeted to apply only to main template pkg, installer pkg, or stub pkg file using .main, .installer, or .stub suffix on the variable. Also clarified documentation of these variables. Cherry picked to 4.7 branch from master branch as part of QTBUG-15068, original commit: a537137fffd72d153a35828228c00567a563e787 Task-number: QTBUG-15068 Task-number: QTBUG-13159 Reviewed-by: axis Conflicts: doc/src/development/qmake-manual.qdoc doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qmake-manual.qdoc
