do not look for mkspecs/ directories in project trees

this pretty surprising behavior would interfere with building the
examples from an installed qt tree with qmakes from other qt builds.

.qmake.conf (and .qmake.cache) files provide a possibility to explicitly
"anchor" project roots, so there is no point in having a second, even
more magic way to do it.
