qbittorrent build with qt5 support

I don't like to use *-git packages because I'm never sure what version I'm running or whether it may need to be updated. I tend to try to keep my AUR built packages to a minimum for the same reason. So I made a couple of adjustments to the PKBUILD in abs (didn't need to make changes in the qbittorrent.install) and built a 3.2.0 version of qbittorrent with qt5. It starts up fine and looks fantastic on my KDE/Plasma5 desktop. Qt5 handles qjson now, so it's not needed in this. I have no intentions of maintaining this adjusted PKBUILD, so I'll put it out here and let everyone else pick at it when needed, ie- when qbittorrent updates. I strongly recommend that you add qbittorrent to your ignorepkg in pacman.conf.
