[PyQt] [pyqt] Remove LC_ID_DYLIB from modules shipped in the macOS wheel

Hi,

Python modules bundled with the macOS wheel have their install names set to a fixed path,
e.g. /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt.so

Python runtime does not care about install names, but users may theoretically link against them
and this path is generally wrong: builtin Python is rarely used and virtualenvs are common.

I suggest to remove LC_ID_DYLIB from Python extension modules entirely as that will
cause linker to record current path rather then install name.


Best Regards,
Ilya Kulakov
