Bug Description

[Impact]

Qt5 support for hime is missing. Fix uploaded to yakkety queue; xenial patch attached.

[Test Case]

After the change, this command:

grep platforminputcontexts /usr/share/im-config/data/25_hime.rc

should output:

for IM_CONFIG_MARKER in /usr/lib/*/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/im-hime.so ; do

[Regression Potential]

None.

[Original description]

Currently(in Ubuntu 16.04, may affect other releases) im-config provides a rc for hime input method that doesn't assign QT_IM_MODULE, rendering Qt5-based applications including but not limited to, ReText unable to use input method.

NOTE: hime currently provides Qt5 immodule via hime-qt5-immodule package

## Patch & Workaround ##
insert the following code in /usr/share/im-config/data/25_hime.rc's "if [ "$IM_CONFIG_PHASE" = 1 ]" section, then restart X session

```
# use immodule when available for Qt5
for IM_CONFIG_MARKER in /usr/lib/*/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/im-hime.so \
                        /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/im-hime.so ; do
    if [ -e $IM_CONFIG_MARKER ]; then
        QT_IM_MODULE=hime
        break
    fi
done
```
