 For qt5, there was no Config.in option to which we could apply legacy. There
was only the inverse (BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_LICENSE_APPROVED) so we'd have to
trigger legacy in case that option was *not* enabled, which isn't possible.

 I repeat: it doesn't hurt to add a legacy entry, and it may help someone who
thought that they could use the Buildroot exiv2 package for the thing for which
they had a commercial license.
