qwt5 and pyqwt5 fail to build on Ubuntu 20.04

To reproduce:

Result

The installer will build an install tree that includes qt4, and fail during the build of qt4.

Is it important for qwt5 and qt4 to be usable on Ubuntu 20.04? Both have been unsupported for at least five years now.

Maybe it can fail early with an "unsupported" message on 20.04, rather than attempting a lengthy unsupported build and failing with a bunch of weird compile errors? Not sure if such deliberate "install fails" are a thing PyBOMBS can do / if this makes sense?

@argilo I replaced qwt5 with qwt6 in gnuradio/pybombs-docker#2, so as far as I'm concerned this is not a road blocker for me right now. Should we just add a compatibility note to the recipe (as a comment) to preempt confusions as mine above?

Perhaps we could just remove the source: line from qwt5.lwr?
