PyQt5: Missing files in package 5.15.2

[Kyle Altendorf]

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-88688 

Basically, Debian doesn't provide libxcb-util.so.1, only .0.  Well, they
offer .1 in testing now anyways.  The work around is to symlink .1
linking to .0 as Qt doesn't really need .1.  You can do this yourself,
or I made up the following for GitHub Actions where I use Debian Docker
containers.

Example usage:

Qutebrowser provides another workaround to look at.

I think this could be described as a bug in the wheels (PySide2 as well)
since manylinux wheels aren't allowed to depend on libxcb.  That said,
Qt has always been a bit special when it comes to manylinux-ness.
