There are no option to use USE_DLFCN from qt input plugin

[ilya-fedin]

I'm trying to get linking of input plugins in tdesktop without patching of Qt. Currently it uses a way old nimf and integrates it using a Qt patch. I just built a plugin successfully, but with some patching. And even after that it requires a couple of libraries that isn't needed in fact.

TL;DR of what is needed

• Checking qt plugin path in qt_prefix/plugins (ideally - an option for a builder to specify it)
• An option to build and install only qt input plugin
• An option to build qt input plugin with USE_DLFCN and, therefore, not requesting dependencies for libnimf and other things (libhangul, libxklavier, libappindicator, etc)
• An option to build qt input plugin statically (to not to replace shared_library with static_library with sed and to not to add -DQT_STATICPLUGIN to CXXFLAGS)

Thank you for your contribution to better nimf I would like to apply your patch and test it first, then keep talking.

@ilya-fedin I can't find the patch file in the link. Please check it again.

That's the new link: https://github.com/kotatogram/kotatogram-desktop/blob/dev/Telegram/Patches/nimf.diff But it was the most simple way to do compilation for me, I think you can do it with meson options :)

@ilya-fedin Thank you for patch. I confirmed there was no problem after applying your patch and building.
