+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.
