[PyQt] Incorrect Makefile using .prl files from Qt 5.12.4

[Hans Gaiser]

Hah, yes I'm well aware of what deprecated means. Wasn't aware this was 
deprecated however (as stated before, I'm only indirectly using 
sipconfig, via ROS' python_qt_binding). I guess I shouldn't be surprised 
that ROS uses deprecated functionality :p

Also Eli, thank you for the references on how this change happened. I 
guess the conclusion is: "don't use sipconfig". For now I patched 
python_qt_binding, to substitute this variable with its value. Not an 
ideal solution, but replacing sipconfig with something else is not 
something I look forward to.

Thank you Phil and Eli for the (very) quick responses.

In case anyone reads this for the python_qt_binding patch:
