Bug#823283: qgis: Disable new version verification

[Bas Couwenberg]

Hi Nelson,

Thanks for the patch!

In its current form it's not appropriate to forward upstream, I'd like 
to have a CMake option that disables the new version check, that should 
be acceptable for upstream. I'll have a look at that when time permits.

The fix for the FTBFS is included in QGIS 2.14.2, available in git and 
NEW.

While I'd like to stick to 2.14.x LTR for stretch, the Qt5 support will 
only be officially supported in QGIS 2.16.

The current plan is to switch to Qt5 for QGIS 2.16 and include that in 
stretch. The subsequent 3.x LTR will be made available via backports.

Kind Regards,

Bas
