Scrobbling fix for Qt 4.8

As per the bug in the URL, qmpdclient-9999 fails under QT4.8 due to a change in the QT Api that means POST requests are no longer submitted as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" . 

AS a result of this, its likely this problem affects earlier versions of qmpdclient scrobble support for the same reason ( I upgraded to 9999 as a result of scrobbling issues in a hope of avoiding said issues ). 

Upstream are a bit quiet at present however, but fortunately, I've managed to work out enough of a patch to coerce it into working again on the git version. 

https://github.com/Voker57/qmpdclient/pull/14/files

Hopefully upstream can merge this in sometime soon, but in the interim:

Old versions of QMPDClient need to be checked for lastfm scrobble support on QT4.8 and blocks possibly added, or compatibility patches appended.
