[yocto] [PATCH] qt4-native: depend on icu-native to fix build on systems with icu >=59

[Cody P Schafer]

Yep, for `master` that is certainly true.

For `morty` & `pyro` though, meta-qt4 could keep working by using icu-native.

The source of this issue being qt4's general incompatibility with C++
11 (we build with c++98 because of build errors with the newer std)
makes me wonder if it will even be possible to continue supporting qt4
going forward.

This may turn out like the openssl conflicts in that we'll need to
disable qt4's use of icu entirely.
