Standardize how the config is created for releases. (#4784)

Build configuration for Windows was moved from appveyor.yml to appveyor/windows/before_build.ps1
and based on gcconfig.pri.in to match the other platforms, Python config is taken from PATH too.
We could do the same with install and after_build too.
