There was an issue with the build system not finding lrelease from qt
which I was able to find and patch. So I got the package to build with
the forementioned modular qt packages.

There are runtime issues though (ie, the program monero-wallet-gui won't
run) with the following messages:
app startd

For one, there seems to be an issue with the package's build system
because qml module "QtQuick.Dialogs" is included in our qtquickcontrol
package. On the other hand, I think we don't have the qml modules for
"Qt.labs" in any modular qt package. Is that correct?
