How would we handle qwt5/qwt6 transition if selected? #13

On Linuxes (and macOS homebrew I think) you cannot have the -devel library installed for both versions of qwt simultaneously. The run-time libraries are fine however.

The problem here is then how we would handle development while the switch takes place. This is heavily dependent on length of time the transition would take. See #11.

The work would have to be carried out on a separate long running branch and if possible avoid heavy work on MantidPlot during this period.
