  HIME rc doesn't assign QT_IM_MODULE, breaks usage in Qt5 application

  Fix Released
Status in im-config source package in Xenial:
  In Progress
Status in im-config source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Committed
Status in im-config package in Debian:

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
  ```
