In addition, this update:
* adds support for the aarch64 architecture,
* fixes QTBUG-35459, a too low character limit for XML entities enforced by the fix for CVE-2013-4549 that was breaking real-world XML files (in particular, the KatePart Lilypond syntax highlighting description),
* fixes QTBUG-35460, a misspelling in the error message produced by the CVE-2013-4549 fix when the character limit for XML entities was exceeded,
* reverts the faulty "Discover printers shared by CUPS 1.6 (#980952)" patch, which broke default printer selection and caused crash bug #1054312.
