qmake: Don't error out if QMAKE_DEFAULT_LIBDIRS is empty on macOS The new linker in Xcode 15 doesn't provide any default linker or framework paths when requested via -v, but still seems to use the default paths documented in the ld man page. We trust that linker will do the right thing, even if we don't know of its default linker paths. We also need to opt out of the default fallback logic to set the libdirs to /lib and /usr/lib. This may result in UnixMakefileGenerator::findLibraries finding different libraries than expected, if additional paths are passed with -L, which will then take precedence for qmake, even if the linker itself will use the library from the SDK's default paths. This should hopefully not be an issue in practice, as we don't turn -lFoo into absolute paths in qmake, so the only risk is that we're picking up the wrong prl files and adding additional dependencies that the lib in the SDK doesn't have.
