Subject: [PATCH] fix(@sandbox): greatly speed up (re)build times (#746)

since most of the compilation time is spent on creating the QRC bundle
and the resulting binary is quite huge, advice the `rcc` compiler to add
support for "big resources"
(cf https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/resources.html#embedding-large-files)

Also pass the env $LDFLAGS to qmake (to be able to link e.g. with mold,
which again greatly reduces the time to link the binary)

this leads to 6-10x faster time when recompiling
(Linux, gcc 12.1.1, mold 1.3.0)
